After recently speaking to Charlie Munoz, the owner and operator of Perth Modeling Academy, I learnt a greater insight of the fast growing 10 week program she runs and was fortunate enough to ask her a few questions.
What does PMA offer to clients doing the courses?
We at Perth Modeling Academy are determined to “model” our students into the best they can be,
as well as provide opportunities to become successful in the Modeling Industry. Perth Modeling Academy is designed to help aspiring models and all women alike realize their potential, build self-esteem as well as long lasting friendships and skills that will last a lifetime.
Because the course is on ly 10 weeks how to you manage each class making sure the students get the best out of it?
Our 10 Week Modeling Course is comprehensive and time- tested. All our teachers and guests are highly skilled and experienced professionals who can offer sound advice with impressive resumes of work to back it up. We also provide ongoing mentor ship to our Students to ensure they have the best chance of success in whichever direction their life leads.
Also to add both the Wednesday and Saturday classes fill up fairly quick so I guess its first in best dressed!
I know within modeling agencies there does tend to be girls who are more favored and are a favorite of the agency and are sometimes treated differently, does this occur at PMA if you see a student who has potential to go far in the industry?
There are many components that make up a students potential for success in the Modeling Industry.
We strive to make it so that all of our Students are worthy contenders, and luckily for us most of the time that is the case.
I've noticed some girls getting signed into development at modeling agencies in Perth, does your company try to make this happen or is there a goal set by students if they want to get signed? If so do you do anything further in helping the students get signed to agencies?
We are actively looking for people in which we believe have what we like to refer to as "star quality." Particularly because we are partnered with some of the best Modeling Agencies this world has to offer. We like to create win - win scenarios in which gives the student, the Agency as well as us at Perth Modeling Academy the ability to thrive. Some of our Students already have established goals or plans and we work with them to make it achievable.
Below are some of my favorite shots Perth Modeling Academy have taken so far.

Perth Modeling Academy has been such a hit within the Perth industry that they've opened up a Saturday class where it allows more aspiring students to be apart of a once in a lifetime opportunity and with a maximum of 25 students per class you're guaranteed to get the best out of the course.
Charlie stated "we find this number is perfect as it's not too big that we cannot focus on each individual, but not too small, so that it creates a fun and exciting atmosphere and allows students to find others in whom they gravitate more towards."
However some of you may think 25 students is too many to be able to learn from the courses but PMA do take this into consideration and make sure every individual gets the best out of the 10 week course. They endeavor to understand every single one of their students dreams, goals and aspirations in the first weeks of their time within the academy. The teachers work effectively with each individual to help them progress in their personal development. The Perth Modeling Academy team even offer some students to participate in other jobs and projects in relation to the modeling industry after the conclusion of their course.
The 10 week course has been described by both students and parents as "an experience of a lifetime" and "the best investment we've ever made."
The photo shoots the students do are one of a kind. From natural minimal makeup shoots to show off the natural beauty of the models or changing it up and shooting at a different location to the models covered in various colors or posing with animals as a prop. All the students of the class do participate in the same creative shoot but each student does get a different look so their images don't turn out like every other person in the class.
What you achieve at the end of Perth Modeling Academy course is indescribable and I don't think you can compare it to anything else in Perth. You not only receive a portfolio filled with high quality images taken of you over the 10 week period but you gain so much knowledge and self confidence and self esteem. The program allows you to identify and evaluate your goals in life along with gaining experience within the industry and helping you love and accept who you are as a person!
The academy accepts any student whether their wanting to take the course as a personal thing or a more professional approach.
I highly recommend Perth Modeling Academy to anyone who wants to have a taste of the industry, learn some of the skills and feel what its like to be a 'model', have fun and create friendships and most importantly learning to accept yourself and gain confidence!
