I completed the 4-month intensive course at CB Makeup Academy (Sept 2025–Dec 2025) and it was honestly one of the best experiences of my career. With 13 years in hair and makeup and 7 years teaching Level 2 and 3 Mak-up qualificatios, I wanted to reconnect with creativity and expand my skills into wigs, SFX, prosthetics, barbering, and textured hair — CBMA delivered and more. The academy truly feels like a family. The facilities, learning environment, and the incredible support from Zorica and Petar made it a real home away from home. I’ve made friends for life and have already gained work experience as a makeup trainee on a film only a month after completingthe course. I couldn’t recommend CBMA more for anyone wishing to update their skill and step into the TV and film industries.

I went to CBMA with no real makeup experience and no idea if that was what I really wanted to do with my live and after just 4 months I felt like I had real knowledge into what the industry was and how I could move in it. Th people there, teachers and staff where super helpful and even now, almost two years later, Petar is still helping me out with career stuff and make me feel reassured and like I always have a safe place to go to. I really recommend it even if you can’t do the 4 months course you should still go and do any of the modules.

The 4 month course is genuinely life changing. Intense but so much fun, with incredible world class tutors. I’m in my 30’s and made a huge career pivot to do this course,  the risk I took couldn’t have turned out to be more rewarding. Petar and Zorica are the absolute heart and soul of this place. Exceptionally caring, kind and patient,  accomodating to each and every student and their individual needs. CBMA is like home now, I will never forget studying there and I will always be part of the big beautiful extended family that make up all the students, alumni and teachers, because everybody stays in touch and helps each other out! Best makeup school in London

I’ve just completed a two-week course with CBM Academy and it was fantastic. The training was very hands-on and practical, which made a huge difference. Zorica and Petar were both extremely accommodating and supportive throughout, and I learnt so much in a short space of time. I’d absolutely love to continue learning with them and would highly recommend CBM Academy.

The perfect learning environment for anyone looking to gain confidence and new skills in Hair, Make Up and Special Effects. The school and faculty are exceptionally knowledgeable and helped me immensely during my 4 month course. Thank you CBMA.

The most amazing, supportive academy. I learned so much on the four month course. All the necessary skills in order to work in the film, tv and theatre industry. Networking is so important to get in to the industry, and the course offers that by having specialised tutors in for every module, tutors that are active in the industry. If I could do it all again I would! Zorica and Petar are an absolute credit to the course. Lovely lovely people.

I did the 4weeks intensive SFX and Prosthetic course. The tutors were amazing, so helpful giving so many tips about the industry. The space was beautiful with all the products that we needed and way more.

“I had an exceptional experience training at CBMA in London. The quality of teaching is outstanding — the trainers are true industry professionals who share their knowledge with passion, precision and generosity. The atmosphere is warm, supportive and highly creative, which makes learning both enjoyable and incredibly inspiring. I came away with new techniques, more confidence, and a real sense of artistic growth. CBMA is, without a doubt, one of the best SFX and makeup training centres I have attended, and I highly recommend it to any artist looking to develop high-level skills.”
