"The enthusiasm from all the tutors was one of the first things I remember about starting out at Delamar. Being a slightly older student, I was nervous to start college again but was comforted to know there were many new students of all ages taking a chance on changing career.
I did the 14 week 'Complete Make - up Artist Course' followed by a 5 week course in Advanced Prosthetics. I knew I wanted to study prosthetics but was wisely advised that having at least basic understanding of all areas of make - up is important to increase your job prospects, as often more than one skill is required.
Delamar offered (and still does!) unbelievable support in getting work, something that made it stand out from other colleges. The tutors are all actively working in their industries which is inspiring and the college prepared me for work on the outside by offering work experience whilst still studying. These jobs were brilliant experiences, and helped me build up my confidence.
I still stay in touch with Delamar - just to check in, ask for advice and bounce off any worries - their support still continues, in work and frienship.
After leaving 2 years ago, I started working mainly on horror and gangster films, with all my skills being kicked into action. I spent 3 months in Ireland on a Hammer Horror job doing prosthetics, at the end of the first year. I have now been working on Harry Potter for the last year in the Special Effects Department, honing my skills and having an incredible time. I am absoloutely loving the adventure - my experience at Delamar has been invaluable!"
