The building blocks of industry employment

The Advanced Prosthetics course provides hands-on training for all the prosthetics skills required to put you on the set of a film or prosthetics workshop.

It is a prerequisite for this course that you must either have taken the Prosthetics & Bald Caps course with us at Delamar or be able to provide us with evidence of sufficient experience. This is for your benefit as well as for the other students on the course. 

This is a highly practical course and we teach the highest levels of health and safety. Claustrophobic students do not have to model for the life-cast process. 

By the end of the Advanced Prosthetics course, students will:

  • Possess the practical skills to launch a career in the makeup artist industry
