HOW ARE COURSES RUN AT THE LAMAJJA ACADEMY?
Become a professional in four steps
THEORY
In the introductory section, you’ll find ONLINE video lessons that you can study from the comfort of your own home, so that you’re fully prepared for the course in theory and we can then devote more time to practical work, which is the most important aspect of this field.
HOME PRACTICE
In this section, you’ll be given homework assignments to help you prepare for the next part of the course. You’ll be looking at things such as measuring out the correct shape and working with tools. Thanks to direct communication with Veronika, who will review your work with you before the course begins, you’ll gain a much better understanding of the techniques and everything will be easier for you.
WORK EXPERIENCE AT THE ACADEMY
It is now time to learn how to put your knowledge into practice using training latex and, above all, on live models at the LaMajja Academy. The number of course days depends on the type of training chosen.
Našim cílem je, aby studenti z kurzu neodcházeli zmatení, ale nadšení a připravení vrhnout se do práce a díky tomu měli od začátku výdělečné podnikání se spokojenými klienty. Právě proto jsou kurzy postavené tak, abychom nejvíce času věnovali praxi.
CERTIFICATION
Once you have successfully completed the previous section, you will receive a certificate. But it doesn’t end there. We know that artists gain most of their practical experience through working with clients themselves. That’s why the course is followed by ongoing support, during which we discuss your work together – and not just with your clients. We’re delighted to answer your questions and support you. Quite simply, we care about the quality of our students’ work, which is why we continue to take an interest in our students even after the course has finished.
Naši nejlepší absolventi navíc mají možnost získávat zakázky po celém světě díky umístění na LaMajja mapu provozoven. Tito umělci získají unikátní LaMajja logo, kterým se budou moci prezentovat na fotkách svých prací. Takové logo dává našim studentům prestiž a záruku kvalitní práce pro budoucí klientelu.
