People who have done our courses tell it like it is!
“Quite simply, this course got me into a career.”
“I’d highly recommend doing the 7-week Makeup FX and Prosthetics Creation course. It was the best career investment I’ve ever made.”
“...in my personal experience, the standout feature that Neill's course offers over any other is the opportunity to observe a real workshop in action. Being right next door to Millennium FX was amazing, and we got to see things happening that you would never see anywhere else.”
“The 7-week course was the most helpful experience I've had in my professional life, never learnt so much in such a short period of time.”
“Had the most INCREDIBLE time at Prosthetics Boot Camp - learnt an insane amount and feel confident to go away and start making my own prosthetics.”
“I cannot recommend Boot Camp too highly! It is impossible to put a value on what I got from the course. It was worth every minute and penny; it was not a cost, it was an investment.”
“I can honestly say it was the best training I have ever had and an incredibly rewarding experience for myself and my team. I would highly recommend Gorton Studio courses to anyone with an interest in prosthetics and SFX.”
