Why choose Iver Academy?
Do your courses include work experience?
We have many contacts within the industry which helps us find relevant work experience roles and placements for students to complement their chosen course. Whilst this work is not guaranteed, we have many connections in different areas of the makeup business who regularly contact us when work placements become available. This work experience spans placements for TV, film, theatre and fashion events.
I am coming from oversea's. Can I get a Visa?
We have students join us from all over the world. Students can come and study with us in the UK on a standard visitors visa Visit the UK as a Standard Visitor: Overview – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) . Please contact us and we can advice you further.
Am I able to visit The Iver Academy before enrolling?
We encourage anyone considering a course with us to first come and visit our academy. You can call us to make an appointment, where one of our team will happily show you around the premises and facilities, or you can attend one of our open days.
Will you be able to help me find work once I have graduated?
Yes, all graduates of our full time courses are invited to join the IMA agency. Graduates are regularly sent job opportunities from all aspects of TV, film, theatre, fashion and events. We often have fantastic openings to help you progress in your career. We are able to assist with work experience and placement roles, which can develop into paid work once graduates are able to demonstrate their skill and experience.
To date all our graduates from our full time courses who are UK based have been offered work experience or paid work. It is then up to the individual to make the most of these opportunities and also to be proactive in seeking work placements in all areas of makeup, hair and special effects. No training academy can guarantee work to their graduates but we can boast an unblemished track record to date.
Do I need to have any prior qualifications to attend The Iver Academy?
You need to be 18 or over to attend any of our courses, and individual entry requirements apply per course. Each application is also subject to an interview that will help us get to know you and see if our courses will be suitable.
If you are enrolling on any of our shorter courses, or our 3-week Industry Ready module, you will need to have completed our Foundation or Certificate level makeup and hair course first, or be able to provide us with sufficient evidence that you have the necessary basic skills. This is to make sure that all students on our Advanced courses are at the right level to be able to make the most of their training.
The Iver Makeup Academy based in the heart of Pinewood Studios is the only independent Further Education training school for makeup, hair and SFX artists. Our Advanced Course is industry recognised and accredited by ScreenSkills Select.
