The strength of Immersion

That is why you start right away with the full Make-up Artist Class and the JDO Method, from any location in the world.

Whether you work full-time, run your own business, combine a family with your work or live in another country.

Then you bring it all together during a multi-day Immersion Experience.

The same course. The same guidance. More freedom.

Does this sound familiar?

You want to develop yourself further as a Make-up Artist. But a traditional course does not always fit into your life.

Whether you already have experience or are just starting out: you want to develop seriously as a Make-up Artist, without having to choose between your ambition and everything your life already asks of you.

More ambition

You feel there is more in you than where you are now. You want to grow in technique, confidence and creative possibilities.

More freedom

You have a job, clients, a business or a family. Weekly class days are not always realistic.

More practice

You do not want to learn online only. You want to receive feedback, collaborate with other creatives and experience how the craft feels in practice.

That is why we created Immersion. A learning path that combines the flexibility of online learning with the power of live hands-on experience.

JDO Immersion on location

Why students choose Immersion

Online you learn the Method. Live you make the breakthrough.

Online you lay the foundation with the full JDO Method, at your own pace, from home or any location in the world.

During the Immersion you bring it all together: direct feedback, mentoring and portfolio building. You learn not only from Juliette, but also by collaborating with other ambitious creatives from different countries, backgrounds and disciplines.

Online Class + Immersion on location

How it works

You start right away with the full Make-up Artist Class, including the JDO Welcome onboarding and monthly JDO Academy Sessions. Then you join a multi-day Immersion Experience on location.

  1. 01

    A new module every week, in a guided rhythm

    From your enrolment you start online with the JDO Method and the community. Each week a new module is released, so you build up step by step in a guided rhythm. You work through modules, assignments and exercises at your own pace and, within your 12 months of access, revisit them as often as you like. Your homework is reviewed and assessed by the JDO team, so you grow with focused feedback.

  2. 02

    JDO Welcome onboarding & monthly Academy Sessions

    Part of the community from day one. Right after enrolment you receive the JDO Welcome onboarding in your inbox: a welcome and how your platform and app work, so you can start straight away. In the monthly JDO Academy Sessions with Juliette, together with the Online Guided and Hybrid students, you connect, check in and ask your questions, and get inspired by each other's work.

  3. 03

    Multi-day Immersion on location

    During your journey you join an Immersion Experience that suits you. A multi-day hands-on experience where everything comes together: working on models and personal mentoring.

  4. 04

    Final shoot, portfolio & certificate

    You finish with a professional photoshoot, a portfolio at a professional level and your JDO Make-up Certificate.

Reviews

“
With a family and a busy job I thought a professional make-up course wasn't feasible. With Immersion I followed the JDO Method at home, with guiding calls for structure and feedback, and at the end I set aside five days entirely for my development. I now work as a make-up artist and plan my assignments around my family.
Career switch alongside a familyImmersion Make-up Artist Class
“
As an entrepreneur I couldn't commit to weekly classes. With Immersion I followed the JDO Method flexibly alongside my business; the guiding calls kept me on track. The five-day Immersion was the culmination of everything I had built, and thanks to Juliette's personal feedback I now work with much more confidence.
Alongside her own businessImmersion Make-up Artist Class
“
After my burnout I wanted to do something creative with my hands. With Immersion I could start at home at my own pace; the guiding calls helped me stay motivated. During the five-day Immersion everything fell into place. With my new techniques, photoshoots, portfolio and certificate I had a real foundation for my new career.

Frequently asked questions

What is Klarna and what does paying in instalments mean?
Paying in instalments means you pay for the course 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?
For the online JDO Method: yes, you follow it at your own pace from home. For the Immersion Days on location you set aside a consecutive week, for example via holiday days. This is an immersion, not an evening course.
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?
During the online JDO Method: 4-6 hours per week, at your own pace. During the Immersion Days on location you work hands-on 8-10 hours a day on your growth. Total commitment: approximately 4-6 weeks of preparation + 1 week of immersion.
Are travel and accommodation for the Immersion location included?
No. You arrange and pay for travel and stay yourself. We do share recommendations for accommodation near the location so you can easily plan your days.
How long do I have access to the online learning platform?
12 months of full access to the JDO learning platform, with continued access to course updates afterwards.
Do I need to arrange models for the classes myself?
No, we arrange all models for the hands-on training and the final photoshoot on location. You show up, we take care of the rest.
Are the professional photoshoots included?
Yes. A final professional photoshoot is included, including the models. The result is published and forms the start of your portfolio.
Can I take part if I live in Belgium or abroad?
Yes. Immersion is designed for both Dutch and international students. You follow the full JDO Method online from any location. For the Immersion Days you travel once to the edition location. Editions are organised throughout the year in the Netherlands and at international locations (such as Barcelona, Amsterdam, Italy or Cape Town).
Can an Immersion Experience come to my country?
Yes. When at least 6 participants come together, we explore the possibility of organising an Immersion Experience in your country or region. Juliette then travels to that location for the Immersion Days.

For groups or schools that want to organise their own edition: dates are flexible. We align the Immersion Days together with the group, at a time that suits. Get in touch to discuss the possibilities.
Can the course be taken in another language?
Yes, on request. The online JDO Method can be translated into the language of the group, so you can follow the full course in your own language. During the Immersion Days on location the group arranges its own interpreter if desired.
Can I pay for the course in instalments?
Yes. The regular price is €4.200 all-in (including models, photoshoot and certification). When paid in full you receive a 5% discount (€3.990). Besides paying in one go, you can pay in 3 instalments via iDEAL or, where available, via Klarna. You'll see the available options at checkout. Only travel and stay for the Immersion Days are not included.
Do I receive a JDO certificate after completion?
Yes. You finish with a portfolio exam that we assess. On a positive assessment you receive the JDO Make-up Certificate. JDO Academy is CRKBO-registered, which means the course is exempt from VAT.
