As someone transitioning from fashion makeup, I wasn't sure if screen work was for me. The instructors at Creative Media Skills not only taught me the technical differences but showed me how my existing skills could translate. Best decision I ever made.

The prosthetics course was incredibly intensive and hands-on. I learned techniques that would have taken years to pick up on my own. The small class size meant I got personalized feedback on every project, and the connections I made have been invaluable.

Coming from a gymnastics background, I knew the physical skills but had no idea how to break into the film industry. The stunt course gave me BSR-aligned training and, more importantly, introduced me to stunt coordinators who were actively hiring.

I took the beginners makeup course with zero experience and ended up completely hooked. The instructors were patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in our success. I've since completed the professional course and am now working regularly in TV.
