The Professional Make-up Course runs over 3 consecutive days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday),
that is 21 hours, in person in Avignon. See the day-by-day programme.
How many students per session?
2 students maximum per session, for fully individual guidance:
every movement is corrected as you go and we move at your pace.
Are there any prerequisites?
No technical prerequisites: the course is for complete beginners, for women changing career
and for enthusiasts. All that matters is motivation and the desire to learn.
The course is women-only.
What is included in the course?
The full 3-day programme (complexion, eyes, finished looks, bridal work), an image and
social media module (photos, videos, retouching, Instagram), the training handbook
given to you at the end, a free starter kit and personal follow-up after the course.
Where does the course take place?
In Avignon. The exact address is given to you once your enrolment is confirmed.
Funding
How much does the course cost?
Two options: €1,190 self-funded (a €190 booking deposit, the balance before the
course begins), or €1,850 through your French CPF training account, of which €1,500
is covered by your entitlement and €350 is paid by you on the first day.
Enrol online (page in French).
How do I fund the course with my CPF account?
Everything happens online, with no paperwork: from our CPF enrolment
page (in French) you choose your date, leave your details, then go straight to our course on Mon Compte
Formation to send your request. We then approve it from our training-provider account and support you through
to final enrolment.
What is the €150 contribution asked for on Mon Compte Formation?
Since 2 April 2026, the French state asks for a flat contribution of €150,
paid online when your application is approved, whatever the price of the course. You are
exempt if you are registered with France Travail (the French employment service).
Is there a notice period for CPF enrolment?
Yes: the rules require a minimum of 11 working days between your application
being approved and the start of the course. Dates that are too close can therefore no longer be booked with
CPF funding — do send your request in good time.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Three, all online, as you prefer: card payment (secure Stripe payment, place
confirmed immediately), bank transfer (our bank details are given when you book, along with a
reference to quote; your place is confirmed on receipt) and PayPal in 4 interest-free instalments
to pay for the whole course over four months (subject to PayPal's approval).
How is my place confirmed?
If you are self-funding, your place is confirmed as soon as your €190 deposit clears:
immediately by card or PayPal, on receipt for a bank transfer (within 5 days).
With CPF funding, your place is held once your application is approved on Mon Compte Formation; we then call
you to confirm in person.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes: with PayPal “Pay in 4”, the whole course (€1,190) can be paid in
4 monthly instalments of €297.50 at no extra cost. PayPal offers the option at checkout, subject to your
eligibility. The self make-up class (€250) can also be paid in 4.
The self make-up class
What does the self make-up class involve?
A day (10 am → 2 pm, in Avignon) to learn to do your own make-up,
bring out the best in your face and master the essential everyday gestures.
€250, one-to-one (1 person).
How do I book the self make-up class?
Straight online from the booking page (in French):
you suggest the date that suits you (at least 2 days ahead), you pay the €250 (card, PayPal Pay in 4 or bank
transfer), and Sanaa confirms the date very quickly.
The training handbook
Can I buy the handbook without taking the course?
Yes. The Professional Training Handbook (2026 edition, 30 pages) can be
ordered online at the launch price of €35 (instead of €55); it is shipped to you within 48 working hours (first shipments from 30 September 2026).
Students on the course receive it free of charge.
