Three routes through the school
One is a career route, one is a specialism, one is a set of single days. They do not stack into each other and you do not need to take them in order.
| Programme | Length | Fee | Intakes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional Artistry Diploma | 16 weeks, full time | £7,450 | January, April and September |
| Bridal and Occasion Certificate | 6 weekends | £1,980 | February, June and October |
| Editorial and Masterclass Series | 1 to 2 days each | £240 to £480 | Monthly |
Which one is the right one
If you intend to earn a living from makeup, the diploma is the route; it is the only programme here that covers freelance practice, insurance and kit hygiene records alongside technique. If you already work and want one subject taken apart properly, take a masterclass. The bridal certificate sits between the two: it assumes no prior training but only teaches longwear and occasion work.
What none of them do
No programme here awards a licence, because makeup artistry is not a licensed trade in the United Kingdom. Anyone advertising a licence is describing their own certificate. Ours is a school certificate too, and it is worth exactly what the portfolio behind it is worth.
