Assessment Day
Assessment Day allows students to experience what it's like to do makeup on their very first real group of clients!
Arranging models and treating the entire assessment like a day in the workplace helps students overcome any challenges and
fears of working with their first clients.
We know making that step from the classroom to the workplace can be daunting, which is why our Assessment Day is less about "assessing" and more about providing a guided experience for our students when they are working with their first group of clients.
Our educators will observe everything, from professionalism and hygiene to consultations and applications, in order to provide students with the feedback they need for improvement and to make that transition from the classroom to real clients all the more easier.
At the end of Assessment Day, all students receive a framed copy of their certificate.
