MUD MAKE-UP SCHOOL: INDIVIDUAL COURSES
Make-Up Designory also offers students the option to take individual courses alone in order to expand a particular area of expertise. Courses can also be taken by individuals in related fields who are seeking professional enhancement in their chosen area of employment.

For this reason, prior to registration in an individual course, it is necessary that students consult with the Admissions Office in order to be sure that they have completed all required prerequisites or have obtained the appropriate equivalent experience.
Please note the prerequisite information listed for each course in its description. In order to register for individual courses, students may have to demonstrate that they are licensed, in the process of being licensed or working professional make-up artists that possess the skills required to enrol. Certificates and cards are awarded to students who successfully complete an individual course.
