I received all my course material in the mail in just a few days and was all set to begin my journey.

Loving QC Academy! Just submitted my final unit in Master Makeup and still getting through Hair Styling, Airbrush, and then onto Pro Makeup. I've already started getting clients and am booked up 3 weeks in advance!... None of this would have been possible without QC Academy, and I've only been doing the course a couple of months!
