Graduate insights – short & honest
What really helped graduates get ahead.
„Daily practice and intensive feedback changed everything – today I work on television appearances, from Cannes to the Berlinale.“
„I trained as a hair and make-up artist at the Academy, where I gained an excellent foundation for my professional career. During my training, I learned everything from hairstyling to make-up and was perfectly prepared for working with clients. Thanks to the excellent and practical training, I have now been working in the industry for four years and have had the opportunity to work with renowned brands (including Thomas Sabo, Mister Spex, About You, Zalando and Flaconi).“
„Very intensive and practical training. Thanks to the small number of students in each group, you receive excellent personal attention. The lecturers are patient, motivating and wholeheartedly committed. The photo shoots at the end of the course are also a real highlight. 100% recommended!“

Founder
Honest words from Sam Hill
‘I knew that if I continued like this, I would lose myself.’
I had a prestigious office job – a degree, a good salary, security. And yet, it didn't feel like the right path for me. So I quit. Into the unknown. Without contacts, without a plan B. My dream: to become a make-up artist.
The beginning was tough. Little support, lots of doubts. I worked my way up on my own – with small jobs, a lot of perseverance and passion.
Today, I manage teams at international shows and award ceremonies; my looks have appeared u. a. on the covers of VOGUE. But my greatest pride is the Inclover Academy.
Because today I can give you what I would have wished for back then: real-world experience, honest feedback, a strong network – and a clear plan, how you can make a living from it after completing your training.
And it works: Over 90% of our graduates work successfully in the beauty, fashion, film or television industries.
I believe in you. Your Sam ❤
