The training was ok. The make-up lesson was particularly disappointing for non-Caucasian students, as very little of the makeup could be used on them. Once you'd finished the course, you had to find all of your own models, who needed to be available on a weekday (X3) so that you could do your practical test. I just couldn't get people who a) wanted all of the treatments on a particular day (e.g. one was reluctant to have false lashes put on, but was ok for the other treatments) and b) who were free for an entire working day (most of the people I know are in full-time employment). I even offered to pay them for the day off, but in the end it was the combination of treatments that put them off. The literature that Beauty Academy post on their website, doesn't indicate that you will have to sort out your models and all of your cosmetics (including wax pots and thermal mitts). Although I scored in the late 80s and 90s (%) for all of my theory, I had to give up. If I do resume training again, it definitely won't be with the Beauty Academy.
