Private vs group camouflage training: which suits you?

Both formats teach the same craft. The difference is pace, attention and who you learn alongside.

Private vs group training at SKINEAV, Vaughan

“In the beginning, your portfolio is everything. People need to see your work before they trust you with their skin.”

Evelyn Alvares Vega, SKINEAV Academy

Small-group training (up to 5)

  • You see more cases and more skin tones as others work

Questions to decide

  • Have you held a machine before? If not, private may help you settle faster.
  • Do you learn by watching others? A group gives you more of that.
  • Are your dates fixed by work or childcare? Private training fits around you.
