The School was started in 2009 by Glyn Giani when he realised that if his generation does not pass down quality skills in footwear it will be lost over time and leave us at the mercy of Chinese footwear industry. To date over 1000 students have passed through
our doors and the school currently only has a branch in Pretoria, and students as far a Russia and Australia.
The school pioneered tuition in Footwear Design in South Africa and became the first and only Footwear Design School in the country which include assisting the M&FP Seta in developing a diploma in footwear design which should be registered in 2018.
The School was labled by the DTI as "an Institute of National Importance" in 2014 and subsequently assisted them in setting up the National Footwear and Leather cluster (NFLC) at Vaal University of Technology.
The school has an on-line platform which serves as a backup for blended (distance learning) and lecture facilities in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban
