1 YEAR MODELING COURSE

$160.00

The Poise Search Fashion and Modeling Academy takes pride in training their students by identifying their talent and developing students into models by improving their self-confidence, modeling skills, and techniques in catwalk, photographic modeling, and clothes design. We equip our students with important skills, including etiquette, presentation skills, and self defense. We have trained 100’s models and have many success stories. After more than 5 years in the industry, we have seen our models book high-paying jobs, locally. Our students who complete our course successfully and who have what it takes to be in the industry, go on to signing or being scouted by leading modeling agencies.

Models are given homework, practice, and exercises to increase their confidence to understand what it takes to be a working and professional model. Week after week progress is monitored in the key modeling disciplines. Students are marked and graded throughout the course. At the end of 6 months, our new models will present their modeling skills and what they have learned throughout the course at our graduation celebration event.
