About the Course

The 7-month Make-up and Hair Course covers the fundamental skills you will need to work as a professional hair and make-up artist in film, TV, Stage, and Fashion. Over the course of the 7 months, you will learn a broad range of topics which include, period make-up and hair, make-up special effects, wig knotting, basic haircutting and styling, airbrushing, bridal and fashion make-up, and hair. 

This practically based course encompasses the ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Fashion, Theatre and Media Make-up which is recognised by employers worldwide and ideal for overseas students.

 The course runs continuously over 7months, rather than according to academic term times.  It has been designed to fit the shorter time scale needs of people who are looking to make career changes or those with family commitments, who still want the reassurance of relevant and professional training. It is also suitable for those wishing to refresh and update their skills. (See modules) Previous experience is not a requirement.

At the start of the course, you will receive a complimentary make-up and hair kit which contains the essential products and equipment you will need to get you started. There is an additional list of items that you will be required to purchase before starting the course. Thereafter, all necessary consumables, products, and equipment will be supplied.

On successful completion of this course, students may wish to progress on to the 1-year Hairdressing and Barbering Course: VTCT Level 2 Diploma in Women’s and Men’s Hairdressing.

Please note: This course offers a condensed method of training in comparison to the comprehensive syllabus of the 2-year Make-up and Hair Academy Course: BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Production Arts- Make-up.
