There are so many makeup artists doing courses, what's the difference between them all, and why should I do my course with your company?

You are quite right, there are many courses available however only a selected few are doing accredited Guilds of Beauty Therapists, which makes us stand out from the rest. We are proud to be the only academy in London offering Guilds accrediation, whilst working in the wedding industry for the last 19 years and providing our courses in a commercial setting. With a wealth of experience, you can gain a professional training with a well known makeup artist in the industry. Even some of the top end makeup artist are not providing accredited trainings,  just a certificate of attendance to say you have been trained by the company, which means you will not be able to get insurance after the course and that's £thousands wasted. We are a satellite centre working in partnership with VTCT Centre and our courses are accredited by Guild of Beauty Therapists which means we carry out our courses in a commercial environment and not in a back shed! This also means anyone that if anyone is carrying out courses in the back of a shed should be checked to ensure all health and safety is adhere to and adequate sanitation.
