I joined this course in Jan FEb2021 after a long break in my life, I am all of 40 and looked up to a new career with an industry I’ve been passionate about for a long time when I joined BSMH.
Before I enrolled for the course I had informed admin at BSHM that I had 2 exams(of something else I was aspiring) to take and will need 2 to 3 days of leave for each exam. (I was told I would be helped for all days I missed)
I was very happy initially cause the course content was interesting for an amateur. All the instructors and assistants were excellent and took utmost care that we understood. There were proper demos were excellent, with instructions on every piece of equipment and practice sessions followed. We were instructed not to be late due to obvious reasons and of course, later those instructions became warnings.
I and many others would be late by 10 to 15 mins and would inform and come in. I also informed the admin staff and the teaching assistants that it was particularly difficult for me cause I was leaving my Lil kid after a year for so long and it was a real challenge to leave home.
Days passed I learned a lot, then the time came I had to give my examination.
In all during the course, I missed a day and a half and 2 days for the second examination apart from this I had missed 4 days due to a high fever. I did not want to take the risk to go to class cause the corona fear was not fully out( in fact during practice sessions no one wore masks in class). Totally including my exams and illness, I missed a total of eight days.
in the last leg of the course, we were told to submit our journals for which I was the only student in the class who got up-to-date and excellent for my completed journal.
Few days before our shoot and practice for our certification I was called in by the admin head who had a long talk with me. later when I reached home I told my husband of the situation we talked to him over the phone " he told that I had missed more than half the course and would have to redo the WHOLE COURSE AGAIN, WHICH WOULD COST ME ANOTHER LAKH, INFACT MORE. WHEN I ASKED I HAD JUST MISSED EIGHT DAYS AND 2 DEMOS HOW WAS that half the course, he added that apart from the 8 days of leave I came late every day 20 mins which were considered as half a day( this was never told to us during the enrollment process)so that amounts to 14 days of leave.
I really want to know if I had a completed journal with no help., with excellent comments from the main head and instructor, how could that be possible if I missed half the course.
I would like to conclude though this is an excellent place to learn with excellent instructors. The administration CHEATS AND is ALL OUT TO MAKE MONEY. Do check properly about their rules cause in my batch they have harassed other students as well. They have no proper rules in place and make any rules inappropriately to extort extra money.
I lost all the long-time passion that I had after years thanks to this institute. they are just one of the few cons of the actual makeup industry in India. I have also seen they were biased towards many students during the course time.
