Why this is different

This isn't a course. It's your way into paid work.

Anyone can teach you to pose. We do the part that actually gets beginners booked — we build your materials, put you in front of the agencies, and keep the paid opportunities coming.

30–100 job leads, daily

For a full year, real paid casting opportunities land in our members' jobs channel — every single day. This is the part no course gives you.

Listed to 50+ agencies

We're the only academy that supplies other agencies with trained new faces. You go into ~50 partner agencies' and agents' books as a fresh face.

Your materials, done for you

A professional portfolio, comp card and casting video — shot to industry standard. The exact assets agencies need to submit you for jobs.

Trained & certified

Complete beginner training from working professionals, led by a Fashion Educator and fashion-week judge, with an MFMPA-endorsed certificate.

What you'll learn

The real skills that get beginners booked.

No fluff and no empty certificate — just the practical foundation that turns a complete beginner into someone a casting director takes seriously.

01

Posing & expression

How to move, find your angles and bring expression to camera with confidence.

02

Runway walking

The walk, posture and presence that work on a real runway and in front of clients.

03

Set etiquette

How a professional behaves on set — so you're invited back, not just booked once.

04

Your portfolio

A professional comp card and casting video that actually get you submitted for work.

What's included

Everything you need to start — done properly.

  • Core training in posing, walking and on-camera confidence
  • A professional comp card — your industry calling card
  • A casting video agencies and clients can actually submit
  • A 1-year Modelling Job Marketplace subscription — 30–100 job proposals posted daily in our members' WhatsApp group
  • A genuine path into representation and paid bookings

Before you start

Beginner Program questions.

What exactly is the Beginner Preparation Program?

It is our development program for complete beginners. Over one weekend we teach you the foundations (posing, runway, on-camera presence and how the Malaysian industry actually works), then we produce the materials the industry requires: a professional portfolio, a comp card and a casting video. From there you are listed as a new face to 50+ partner agencies and agents, and you get a full year of our Modelling Job Marketplace with 30 to 100 job proposals posted daily.

Do I really need zero experience?

Yes, that is exactly who this is for. Everyone in your intake will be a complete beginner too. No portfolio, no contacts and no fashion background needed, and it is open to anyone 16 and over, any height, size or look.

When are the next training dates?

The next intake runs 11 to 13 September 2026 at our Kuala Lumpur studio: Friday 6:00 to 8:00pm, Saturday 2:00 to 5:00pm and Sunday 2:00 to 8:00pm. Twenty seats only. See the full schedule.

How long is the program?

The training is one weekend block, three sessions across Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Your prepared materials follow about a month later, and your Job Marketplace access runs for a full 12 months from there.

What is a comp card, and why do I need one?

A comp card is a model's professional calling card: one sheet with your best images and your stats, which agencies submit to clients. Without one (and without a portfolio and casting video) an agency has nothing to send out on your behalf. Producing yours to industry standard is exactly what this program does.

How much does it cost, and what is included?

RM 1,500 in total. One price, no hidden fees. That covers the full training, your portfolio shoot, your comp card and casting video, the 12-month Job Marketplace subscription, your listing to 50+ agencies and agents, and an MFMPA-endorsed certificate.

Do you guarantee jobs after the program?

No, and you should be cautious of any agency that does. The final booking decision always belongs to the client. What we do guarantee is the preparation and the access: professional materials, a listing to 50+ agencies, and daily job proposals for a year. Showing up consistently and applying is the part that is yours.

How much can I earn?

Commercial jobs in Malaysia typically pay around RM 200 to RM 1,000 per day, so one to three bookings can cover the program fee. The pace is genuinely different for everyone and depends on your look, your availability, market demand and how actively you apply. This is opportunity-based work, not a salary, so we will not pretend otherwise.

What if I am too shy, or not "model material"?

Almost everyone who walks in says one of those two things. The industry has shifted hard toward authentic, relatable faces, and some of our most-booked talents arrived certain they were not model material. Presence and preparation matter far more than a particular look, and building both is what the weekend is for.
