JDO Academy is located in Amsterdam at the address below:

JDO Academy

Free parking is available at the door on Sundays and every day after 7 p.m.

TIP: Enter “JDO Academy” on Google Maps, and it will take you to the right spot in front of the door instead of the plaza. Communicate this to your models as well.

Yes, if you register for a makeup course or training at JDO Academy, it is important that you bring a model to practice on at each class. However, for photo shoots we provide a professional model, this is charged separately which we specify on the invoice. In addition, it is essential that you also practice on models at home for your homework.

  • Immediate surroundings: we recommend asking your immediate surroundings first, think family, friends or neighbors. Perhaps they know someone who would also like to model for you.
  • Social media post: of course, you can also use your own social media by sharing a post with a call. What can help in this is to tag @jdo-academy in your call so we can also share it on our channel (note: this is only possible if you have a public profile).
  • Call in Facebook groups: there are also groups on Facebook where you can post calls that you are looking for a model to practice on. A fee is often expected in these, but it is not necessary. Be clear in your communication in this.
  • Addressing people: another perhaps more challenging option is to simply approach people on the street or on the road, but we understand that this can be a barrier.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to apply for student loans because JDO Academy is a private training institution.

At JDO Academy, we stand for quality and consistency in our training. Course materials are not included in the course or training fee. Although you are not required to work with our products, we recommend that you purchase our carefully curated packages. This not only ensures a high standard during the program, but also allows us to assess all students equally. Should you need only part of the starter kit, it is possible to order products separately.

If you miss a class you can make it up in another season in consultation with our coordinator.

We do not handle homework for the Basic Makeup Class, but do recommend practicing what you have learned at home.

At JDO Academy, you are assured of quality and high standards. Upon completion of your training, you will therefore receive our own JDO certificate, which we deliberately chose instead of an industry diploma. Indeed, we are proud of our CRBKO registration and the fact that 95% of our students succeed. Upon completion of a training or course, this certificate is awarded in recognition of your achievements and professionalism.
