Why to choose Online Diploma?
Search “online makeup diploma course” and you’ll find dozens of options. Most differ in one of three ways: who teaches you, how much practice you actually get, and whether anyone’s checking your work. Here’s where IFCT stands on each:
- Live weekend classes, not pre-recorded playlists — Sessions run live so you get real-time feedback while you practice, scheduled on weekends around your existing commitments.
- A curriculum that goes beyond application technique — Covers Face Structure, Skincare & Hygiene, Makeup Types & Techniques, Makeup Tools & Products, and Communication Skills & Client Management — the technical and client-facing sides of the job.
- Built-in portfolio and mentorship — Practical assignments and personalised faculty guidance run through the year, so you finish with a body of work, not just a certificate.
- A campus identity behind the screen — Backed by IFCT’s established centres inside Rayat Bahra University (Greater Mohali) and Bahra University (Solan), where 250+ students have already trained offline.
- Open admission, limited seats — No qualification barrier to apply, but the batch is capped at 30 seats.
