The Iver Makeup Academy is pleased to announce a generous bursary for one student. The Iver Makeup Academy are based in Pinewood Studios, and the tutors have won BAFTAs and EMMYs for their amazing work. Liz Tagg, founder of The Iver Academy, says: “we want to ensure that the most talented people are able to train regardless of their personal financial background”.
The course offers character, SFX and prosthetic application, TV and Film makeup and portfolio building and in-house filming projects. They ask that candidates have three years’ experience – this can be anything from working in make-up or hair to more advanced work. Candidates must show pictures of their work, though these do not need to professional. This generous bursary offers one lucky student 40% off of their foundation course.
