How much does the Advanced Professional Makeup Course cost?. The tuition is very affordable: 1,995 for the entire course or you can purchase it in thirds for only $665 per section.

With the high cost of special makeup effects training these days (anywhere from $5,600 to $30,000) our courses are your best bet because you’ll receive the legendary Dick Smith quality for a reasonable price. Are materials included in the cost of the Advanced Professional Makeup Course?. The materials you’ll need for the course must be purchased separately. What do the Advanced Course materials cost?. The short answer is it’s up to you. The projects for the Advanced Course are loosely structured.

Each person designs their own projects. Allowing our students to design their own projects helps students foster indispensable skills. The more advanced and sophisticated your projects the higher your material costs will be. However, we realize some of you are on a limited budget. In such cases we suggest you focus on creating several gelatin projects on the face and neck. You might spend about $1,000 if you do that. You will need 3 finished makeups to apply for a certificate so that’s a good bottom line cost.

How does the Advanced Course work? Are there specific projects?. The Advanced Professional Makeup Course is exactly what its name implies: an advanced program of study for students and working professionals. It therefore does not have the step-by-step lesson structure of our Basic 3-D Makeup Course but rather will give you the ability to select your own interests and projects.

In other words, this course is student-driven. Dick knew that an absolutely indispensable part of becoming a successful professional is to be able to think for yourself and solve problems and that’s what our students tell us is one of the great strengths of this program. It’s also the reason why the Advanced Course has more Oscar winning graduates than all of the other schools in America combined. Are there videos or do you skype?. The Advanced Course is taught via instructional materials that are mailed to you and via internet exchanges between your teacher Andrew Clement and yourself.

You will be sending still images of your works in progress or finished makeups so you can receive advice and guidance by email. You can also ask questions when you are stuck on some technical issue.

How long does the Advanced Course take to complete?. The course is very extensive and covers so many different aspects of special makeup effects that you could spend over a year working through the entire course.

But that is not necessary to earn a certificate. All you have to do is create 3 finished prosthetic makeups that are professional quality and you will be considered to have completed the course. However, the other parts of the course you do not use will serve you for years to come as an invaluable reference for working professionals. Any time you run into a new problem just go to the course, and you will probably find your answer there. This is what we’ve been told by our graduates, that they continue to use the course throughout their professional lives.

Do I receive a Certificate upon completion of the Advanced Course?. You may apply for a Dick Smith Certificate of Merit any time you feel you’re ready. Unlike other makeup schools, this Certificate is not given for completing a course of study but for the quality of your work. Therefore, it is far more respected than certificates from other programs and will help you in seeking a job in this competitive industry. As Rick Baker states, “If you’re going to include a diploma in your portfolio, make sure it’s the one that counts.

The only one that counts in my book is the one that comes from Dick Smith’s Advanced Professional Makeup Course.” To learn more about the respect this Certificate and the Advanced Course receives, read. Do I need to take the Basic Course before the Advanced Course?. No, but you do need some experience with either sculpture or prosthetic makeup in order to get the most out of this advanced material. Is the material in the Basic Course repeated in the Advanced Course?. The Basic Course gives you a foundation in the techniques of creating a prosthetic makeup using gelatin. The demo and illustrations are different for each course. The Advanced Course provides expanded information on working with gelatin.

Do you accept international students?. Yes, we have students enrolled from dozens of countries around the world. Do you offer the course in other languages?. No, English only.

Where is your school?. Both of our courses are home study and the instructional materials are shipped to you. Many of our students do not wish to go to a makeup school or cannot do so because of financial, family or job concerns. Our home study courses give you the advantage of being able to study in the comfort of your home at a pace that fits in with your lifestyle while offering a superior value for your tuition dollar. We are licensed as a business in the state of Connecticut. Do you offer financial aid?.

We don’t because we feel that our programs are already quite affordable. You can purchase the Advanced Course in sections. PayPal offers a program which allows qualified students to borrow money for the Advanced and Basic Courses from PayPal. Do you offer help with career guidance and job placement?. We do not have a formal placement program, but we are able to make recommendations from time to time that allow us to facilitate career advancement for exceptional students. I’m interested in a career in special makeup effects but I’ve never done any kind of prosthetic makeup. Can I still enroll in Dick’s Basic 3-D Makeup Course?.

Absolutely. Dick designed the Basic Course specifically for beginners like yourself. Will I have to travel in order to attend classes?.

No travel expenses required! You’ll learn from the Master’s instructional materials and our Academy Award-winning faculty in the comfort of your own home, at your own pace. I live outside the U.S. Do you accept international students?. Yes, we have students as far away as Japan and New Zealand. How are you able to provide your graduates with an individual, personal consultation with an Academy Award-winning makeup artist for the tuition of $375?

Many expensive special effects makeup schools don’t even have Academy Award-winning teachers, and those that do charge a lot more than you do for individual instruction by them. What’s the catch?. No catch; the answer is very simple and quite beautiful. Dick personally mentored many of today’s top makeup artists and so now these friends, out of love and gratitude for their teacher, want to pay him back by helping him to train the next generation of master artists. Are materials included in the tuition price of the Basic Course?. No, materials must be purchased separately by our students.

We provide a complete list of everything you’ll need. How much do materials cost?. About $350 if you live in the U.S.; more if you need international shipping.

How much time will I need to complete the Basic Course?. It varies from person to person, but generally about three weeks of full-time study (40 hours per week) or six weeks part-time. When will I receive my faculty consultation?. When you complete the Basic Course by producing one finished prosthetic makeup, you’ll take pictures of it and email them to the address provided in your course materials. We will then contact you to schedule your consultation. How long will I have to send in my pictures?

Is there any deadline or cut-off point?. There’s no rush, no time pressure to complete this beginner’s course; you have up to two years from your date of enrollment to submit your finished project for a critique and analysis. So work on it when it is convenient and enjoyable for you so that you’ll produce your best effort.
