There is plenty of public parking close to our premises. For those who wish to catch public transport, we are a two-minute stroll from the Beerwah train station and bus stop.
Our training facility is situated in Beerwah just off Steve Irwin Way, a three-minute drive from the famous Australia Zoo and only a hop skip and a jump from the local train station and bus stops making it extremely convenient for long distance travellers. We welcome students from Brisbane, Gold Coast, Gympie and beyond.
ABSOLUTELY! Here at the Art of Makeup Society, we celebrate all our students regardless of age, sex, religion, gender, race and identity. Our judgements are based off our students’ attitudes, work ethic and performance not how someone looks or identifies.
Our educators, trainers and guest presenters are highly skilled and experienced makeup professionals with a passion for teaching. They bring real world expertise and the latest industry trends to the classroom.
Yes but only for our Diploma of Screen & Media (Specialist Make-up Services). All of our other courses are open for direct enrolment as long as you meet the course requirements.
The Diploma is our most exclusive program with limited spots available, so we hold interviews to make sure each applicant is truly ready to commit. We’re not looking to trip you up or put you under pressure, it’s simply a chance for us to connect with you, hear about your passion and see if this course is the right fit for your goals.
Think of it as a conversation, not a test. We want to get to know the artist behind the application and make sure you feel confident about the path you’re stepping into. Once the interview is complete, we’ll be in touch to confirm if you’ve secured your place.
At The Art of Makeup Society, we believe real-world experience is just as important as classroom learning. That’s why we work closely with local film schools, screen collectives, photographers and other makeup artists to give our students as many opportunities as possible. From film sets to creative shoots, if there’s work experience to be had, we’re usually part of it.
And here’s the best part, these opportunities aren’t just for Screen & Media students. We offer placements to any student who demonstrates commitment, reliability and the right attitude. The more effort you put into your training, the more likely you are to be invited to take part in exciting projects.
We don’t play favourites. Every work experience placement is offered based on merit and trust because when you represent the Society, you represent all of us.
For the quality of training and opportunities we provide, NOT AT ALL. At The Art of Makeup Society, we believe in people over profit. That’s why our courses are set at the lowest possible baseline while still delivering uncompromised quality and ongoing support long after graduation. We pride ourselves on offering more value for money than any other academy in Queensland.
We’ve also designed flexible payment plans to make study achievable for everyone. Payments vary depending on the course and instalment plan you choose, and our admin team is always here to help you find the option that suits best.
On top of this, we’ve secured the best possible deals on professional makeup kits, saving you money before you even step into the classroom. With us, you’ll receive exceptional training, industry connections and real-world opportunities without the inflated price tag.
