Does this sound like you?

You want to get to know the JDO Method.
But not yet invest in the whole course.

"That is why I developed JDO Discover. Not everyone knows straight away whether a career as a Make-up Artist is the right step. Sometimes you first want to find out whether this way of learning and working feels right for you before investing in a full course."

students in their own words

Reviews

I had been interested in make-up for years, but doubted whether I wanted to do something professional with it. JDO Discover gave me the chance to explore this at my own pace, without having to choose a full course straight away. The lessons were clear, professional and inspiring. I discovered that my interest went far beyond a hobby, and afterwards decided to progress to the full Make-up Artist Class.
Discovering whether the craft suits meJDO Discover · Make-up
With a busy job and a family, I first wanted to find out whether a make-up course would fit into my life. Thanks to JDO Discover I could take the modules whenever it suited me and practise at home at my own pace. I learned the most important basic techniques and got a good sense of the JDO Method. It gave me the confidence that a new creative direction is possible for me too.
Learning alongside work and familyJDO Discover · Make-up
I had always loved make-up, but was unsure about my technique and didn't know where to start. During JDO Discover I learned to look at skin, products, colour and building a complete look with a far more trained eye. The lessons gave me structure and only made me more enthusiastic. Because my investment was credited when moving up, the step to the full course felt logical and achievable.

Frequently asked questions

What is Klarna and what does paying in instalments mean?
Paying in instalments means you pay for Discover in parts instead of all at once. Klarna is the payment service that makes this possible. You choose Klarna at checkout, not with us beforehand. Klarna then runs a short check and decides whether instalments are possible. Which terms apply and what Klarna charges for them you see at Klarna before you agree, so you are not committed to anything until you have seen that overview. Klarna is not available in every country. If it is not available where you are, you pay in one go with iDEAL, credit card or PayPal.
Can I combine the course with a full-time job?
Yes. JDO Discover is fully flexible: there are no fixed lesson times, deadlines or groups. You learn whenever and as often as you like, perfect to combine with work, family or travel.
Do I need experience to start?
No. The JDO Method guides you step by step from basics to professional level. Beginners are welcome, a passion for make-up is enough to start.
How much time does the course take on average per week?
You decide that yourself. Most students spend 4 to 6 hours per week, but you can also work through it in intensive bursts or take a break for a while. No deadlines, only your ambition sets the pace.
Can I pause in between and start again later?
Yes. Within your 3 months of access you can pause and pick up again whenever you like. Your progress is saved.
How long do I have access to the online learning platform?
3 months from your start date. Within that period you have unlimited access to your Discover modules and all updates.
Do I need to arrange models myself for the lessons?
For the practical assignments you practise at home with your own models (friends, family or your own network). Discover does not include in-person lessons or photoshoots, these are available via the Hybrid or Online Guided learning paths.
Are the professional photoshoots included?
No. JDO Discover is focused on independent learning with maximum flexibility. Do you want professional photoshoots? Then take a look at the Hybrid Class which includes 2 shoots.
Can I take part if I live in Belgium or abroad?
Yes. JDO Discover is fully online and accessible worldwide, you take the whole course from anywhere in the world. No trip to Amsterdam required.
Can I pay for the course in instalments?
You pay €149 in one go. If you continue to a full learning path within 3 months, that amount is fully credited. The customer chooses the number of instalments and the associated terms at Klarna checkout.
Do I get a certificate?
No. Discover is a no-obligation introduction to the JDO Method, not a certification track. Want a professional JDO Make-up Artist Certificate? You earn that in Online Guided, Hybrid or Immersion, and your Discover investment is credited 100%.
