SAFT USA Fall 2025
Monday 29th September 2025 to Friday 17th October 2025
This event is available to SATRA members only
The SAFT (SATRA Accredited Footwear Technologist) award is an internationally recognised qualification, and is clear evidence that you are a footwear technologist with a proven range of knowledge. The full SAFT course covers up-to date information in nine modules covering key areas of footwear manufacture.
For our US based course during the fall of 2025, we will be covering eight of those modules, including the brand new Sports Footwear module launched this year. Each module is led by a SATRA specialist and covered in detail during two days’ intensive training including comprehensive documentation. Note that Module 6 Lite (USA and Canada) is a one day module, bespoke for the US and Canadian industrial footwear market and is the only SAFT module available to non-members of SATRA.
This course is being scheduled from 29th September to the 17th October 2025.
