A self-paced training that helps fabric, sewing, and quilt shops confidently understand and serve cosplay customers – plus official certification and in-store accreditation materials.

Built for Independent Shops

• One purchase covers your entire shop
• Self-paced, beginner-friendly format

The Cosplay Consumer Certification is designed specifically for independent fabric, sewing, and quilt shops who want to better understand, and more confidently serve, the growing cosplay market.

Whether you’ve had cosplayers come through your doors and weren’t quite sure how to help, or you’re actively looking to bring in new customers, this training gives you the context, language, and practical tools to meet them where they are.
