EXAM
With us, you decide for yourself whether you want to take an exam or not. With a voluntary exam, you can obtain additional, more in-depth certificates in addition to your ‘Make-up Artist & Hair Stylist’ certificate.
The final exam consists of two parts: In the theoretical part, you test your knowledge online with a multiple-choice test that shows you how well you have internalised the content. In the practical part, you style a specified look and send meaningful pictures of your results by email to our exam team. This is how we ensure that you have mastered both theory and practice perfectly!
You can take up to two years to complete your exam – whatever suits you best. Some people take it after just a few weeks, while others use the entire time available. This gives you the freedom to tailor the exam date perfectly to your personal schedule.

These certificates are your passport to a successful beauty career.

Your Exam Options
Graduate your way: with a final exam or without one.
If you choose the voluntary exam, you’ll earn additional, advanced certificates on top of your “Make-up Artist & Hair Stylist” certificate—perfect for showcasing deeper expertise and standing out professionally.
The final exam has two parts and combines theory with real-world practice. First, you complete an online multiple-choice test to check how confidently you’ve mastered the course content. Then, you create a specified look as your practical assignment and email clear, meaningful photos of your work to our exam team. This way, we can confirm you’re strong in both knowledge and execution.
And because life isn’t one-size-fits-all, neither is your exam timeline. You have up to two years to take the exam—whenever it suits you best. Some students go for it after just a few weeks, while others take more time. Either way, you can choose the perfect date to match your schedule and your learning pace.
