The Association of Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishers' qualifications are based on acquiring good practical and relevant skills. These qualifications may lead to employment within the industry or with additional practice may lead to you starting your own small business.
The Upholstery Qualifications are delivered in three stages with each stage being a qualification in its own right and will be certificated separately. These qualifications can only be delivered by an AMUSF Approved Training Centre.
The fundamental approach to learning excellent skills in upholstery is one where students and tutors engage in discussion with lectures exploring the use of materials and processes. Where practical experience within the workshop is at the core, where students work together, enabling dialogue and work in progress to be explored by peers and tutors alike. Students will have a sound grounding in the process, technique, and materials and creative, analytical and self-evaluation skills will be developed through critique.
