Accredited certificates help to obtain liability insurance, discounts (upto 35%) from makeup brands, and access to specialised hairstyling products through trade only companies. Whereas, non-accredited courses run by many academies are unable to provide such benefits. Students Work After Course All makeup, hairstyling, jewellery and outfit setting is done solely by the student. Practice Sessions All makeup, false eyelashes, hair pieces, padding, hair products tools and equipment will be provided for students to use during the course in their practice sessions. During this Advanced Bridal Hair and Makeup Course you will be given full details of all products and tools used, both high end and cheaper alternatives.
