Our three-day MASTERCLASS sessions are the ultimate launchpad for your modelling career.

You will perfect your RUNWAY CHOREOGRAPHY with a reel of your classwork to show your abilities.

Your EDITORIAL SHOOT will instruct you on posing correctly in-camera and provide you with PROFESSIONAL experience in HAIR & MAKE-UP and STYLING for a shoot while KICKSTARTING your model PORTFOLIO with single and group fashion images.

Our CASTING COUCH will advise you on best practice when attending CASTINGS or APPLYING to MODEL AGENCIES.

You will be guided in perfecting your DIGITALS and SELF TAPES to win the CASTING DIRECTORS attention and take home your own professional film and images.

Industry EXPERTS will be on hand to coach you through your portfolio strengths & weaknesses, answer industry Q&As and provide INSIGHTS into industry BEST PRACTICES, DOs & DON'Ts and managing SELF CARE.

You will work alongside other model trainees, BOOKERS & COMMISSIONERS to start your INDUSTRY NETWORK. Each day will be treated as a professional shoot day with CREW BREAKFAST, LUNCH, CALL SHEETS and PRODUCTION MANAGERS.

You will also receive a goodie bag and a GREYMAA Tee and certificate to strutt your new knowledge along with the complete DIGITAL COURSE TUTORIAL!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Digital Tutorials

As a MASTERCLASS student you will automatically receive access to the complete DIGITAL TUTORIAL COURSE which covers all aspects of becoming a model, maintaining your exposure as a working model, expanding into different genres and industries with a focus on creating a dynamic portfolio to illustrate the breadth of your looks.

MASTERCLASS students will receive the first module ahead of their three-day session to help them create or strengthen their portfolio with results discussed with INDUSTRY EXPERTS in person.

The GreyMAA digital course is divided into seven Modules, each providing step-by-step guides on best practice, tasks to complete, case studies and video 'Show-and-Tells' from INDUSTRY EXPERTS. While the three-day MASTERCLASS is an intensive course focusing on physical skills necessary to become a working model we recognise you also need comprehensive insights into the industry at large. Our digital course will provide you with research skills tips and tricks to put you ahead of the game. Modelling is a very competitive industry. Knowledge is Power!

When you sign up to the modules you will also gain access to the GreyMAA portal. Here you can chat with other model accelerators around the world! Collaborate, commiserate and discuss your progress, challenges and swap notes on what the latest trends are in your area.

Modules will be continually updated with industry EXPERT videos and podcasts and you have access forever.

Model Network

Networking is crucial in modelling.

To complement the tutorials, GreyMAA will provide 1-2-1 sessions with industry mentors of your choice and at times to suit you.

You can book and pay for a single model mentor session or a block of five at a discounted price.

Perhaps you want to discuss your self-care routine or get some support when you secure your first job! Our model mentors have years of experience to give you the very best start and on-going support.

We will also be launching podcasts with industry experts. These will range from MODEL BOOKERS, CASTING DIRECTORS, MASTER PHOTOGRAPHERS, A LIST CELEBRITY STYLISTS, FASHION EDITORS, FASHION DESIGNERS, PRODUCTION, SPORTS COACHES, WELLBEING GURUS and many more inspiring, go-getting people at the heart of todays fashion, media and commercial branding.

Why Be A Model?

Pricing Plans Explained

01 Masterclasses

Masterclasses will be strictly limited to a maximum of 20 students per 3 day session to ensure maximum benefits for each accelerator model. We will offer these only three times per year: September, January and May (subject to demand).

These will be held in our studios in London and surrounding locations in Shoreditch (the heart of London's fashion).

All applicants must cover their own travel and accommodation during the Masterclass. Catering will be provided on set.

02 Individual Modules

Great for trying out the course when on a budget. You can purchase any module in any order.
You will still gain access to all the notes, videos, upgrades and downloads for that module + access to the portal.

Each module is one fixed price and can be accessed as many times as you need.

Currently the Complete course is the same price as seven modules, so you can get going straight away!

03 Complete Course

By investing in the whole course you will be taken through each module in the preferred order.
This will ensure you gain a comprehensive understanding as each module interlinks with the next.
Each module will be spaced one week apart so you are not overwhelmed with information.
You will gain access to all areas of the course including videos, charts, portal and downloads.
