Common questions
How much does Fashion As Design cost?

Yes — Coursera lists a certificate on completion. It is a course certificate, not a formal qualification or university credit.
How long does Fashion As Design take?

Is Fashion As Design suitable for beginners?
Yes. Coursera lists it at Beginner level, so no prior experience in the subject is assumed.
