What our students have to say...
I cannot wait to get practicing
Originally seeing the course I was unsure of what it could teach you over the Internet. I'm massively surprised by all the skills and knowledge I have learnt on face painting and how to set up my own business. I only wish you had someway of sharing your work to show your skills you have learnt. I cannot wait to get practicing some more and show off my skills Emily TaylorLots of useful tips
A great introduction to setting up your own face painting business from scratch with lots of useful tips to make sure you are successful. I have been able to make my own checklists of equipment to purchase and documents to create as I set up my business and feel prepared to go out in the world with a professional mindset. I really like how easily the course can be accessed - both on your phone and on a tablet, which meant I could work my way through the modules on the sofa or even in bed! I am looking forward to using the knowledge I have learnt very soon! Sarah HuggettI have loved doing this course
I started out doing this course for a bit of fun and to fill out my CV. I have loved doing this course and have learned way more than I originally thought I would. It has made me look more deeply into running a business not just painting faces. Thank you so much for allowing this to be available!! Lauren Lee-BowersI would definitely recommend it!
It is a great way of learning and gaining a qualification at the same time. The course is clear and explained in detail with both theory and practise included. It is structured well and it's easy to navigate through the website. The videos are very good to demonstrate the techniques. I would definitely recommend it! Marta AddariWow, a really helpful course
Wow, a really helpful course, and a great way to get a portfolio of 'faces' that will enhance my repertoire. The course was so useful in highlighting important things to think about and also give a background into the history of facial art. I enjoyed the chapters and the ability to download or re -visit the chapters any time is a great bonus. Personally, for me, I wanted to have a recognisable and quantifiable certification that I can let potential customers see, and check, so they can feel confident I am a qualified and responsible face painter. I would recommend this course to anyone thinking about furthering their interest in face painting. Felicity SayersFace Painting Academy Certification
