FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What if Your Classes Don't Fit My Schedule?

Brushworks Makeup Academy offers both private and customised options if you require something more tailored to your specific needs. We are happy to work with you to try and accommodate your particulars including date, curriculum and type of training session or workshop.

Please enquire about availability and a quote through the Custom Courses option in the main menu.

Are Your Pro Courses Accredited?

Brushworks Makeup Academy offers non-accredited makeup courses. Whilst accreditation is a  requirement of certain industries, an accredited qualification is not a requirement to work within the makeup industry.

Potential employers throughout the makeup industry, particularly in the areas of fashion, editorial, and bridal, regard your portfolio (photographic examples of your work) as the most relevant testament to your skills, not accredited certification.

Please enquire further should you have additional queries regarding accreditation and its relevance.

Do I Get a Certificate With the Completion of a Pro Course?

Upon successful completion of all required lessons, you will receive a Brushworks Makeup Academy Certificate of Completion in Makeup Fundamentals for the Makeup Fundamentals course, and a Brushworks Certificate of Completion in Advanced Makeup Techniques for the Advanced Essentials course.

Is There Further Support for Pro Students?

Yes. Pro students are offered a number of complimentary ‘Studio Sessions’ during, and after course completion which is additional time in the academy with access to an Academy trainer and the academy facilities.

Studio Sessions are designed to further build a student’s confidence and can be utilized to perfect a particular technique, work through an idea for an upcoming job, or just enjoy additional time to experiment.
