Canberra Makeup Academy is a division of CMA Training Group Pty Ltd, a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). Established in 1998, Canberra Makeup Academy (CMA) offers nationally 
recognised, accredited training specialising in the field of professional makeup artistry. Graduates qualify to work in the film, television, theatrical, fashion, bridal, photographic and retail industries.
All CMA course content is thoroughly researched for accuracy, effectiveness and relevance, and constantly evolves to embrace new techniques and changing trends.
CMA provides personal customer service to all
participants, and employs credible trainers with working knowledge in their field.
CMA’s goal is to always ensure participants can effectively transfer their learning into practical behaviours that make them effective in their workplace. In an industry which is continually evolving with fashion and trends, CMA engages the philosophy that formal training is only the beginning of the learning process as we only stop improving when we start believing we have nothing else to learn.
