Overview

Graduate Certificate - Advanced Special Effects Makeup, Prosthetics and Props

Sheridan's program is one of the few programs of its kind in North America and the only one in the Ontario college system. 

Coursework was developed specifically to meet the needs of employers such as museums, amusement parks, exhibitors and the entertainment industry.

Through intensive lab experiences that simulate industry settings, you'll gain solid knowledge in casting, molding, sculpting and developing prosthetics, props and animatronics.

Classes include both classroom theory and extensive hands-on lab work. 

Guest industry speakers regularly visit class, providing excellent networking opportunities.

During the summer following the first two semesters, you'll participate in a field placement where you can use your newly acquired special effects makeup skills in a professional setting. 

This invaluable work experience and exposure to professionals in the field can be a springboard for employment.
