You may apply for a Dick Smith Certificate of Merit any time you feel you’re ready. Unlike other makeup schools, this Certificate is not given for completing a course of study but for the quality of your work. Therefore, it is far more respected than certificates from other programs and will help you in seeking a job in this competitive industry. As Rick Baker states, “If you’re going to include a diploma in your portfolio, make sure it’s the one that counts. The only one that counts in my book is the one that comes from Dick Smith’s Advanced Professional Makeup Course.” To learn more about the respect this Certificate and the Advanced Course receives, read
