I live in canada and Ive been accepted to Model at one of Canadas “best” agency, holder of Canada’s Next Top Model.. but there is a catch, I have to complete this training program they have because they want to make sure all of there models know what there doing, the training program is also available to girls with self esteem issues as well. The cost of the training program is 1191.5 and after that I get to work in there Model work division for catelouge work, commericals etc.. The agent showed me all the graduites who were succesfull.. and ads that they have done for various places… comp cards and enlargements for class photos are all included in the model training program..
what do you think? should i get signed with them? i mean FOrd and Elite doesnt do Commercial modelling and they were my next choice, the hieght reqrierment is 5’9 im only 5’6. Sutherland does commercial modelling, high fashion modelling, modelling international and runway for commercial and high fashion.

well you are going to have to go to one, but research before you pay talk to someonw who already goes there
No…it is not worth it or necessary…
I have been a casting director in Los Angeles for 10yrs and have seen hundreds of companies like theirs…they are total scams…no models need to take such extensive and expensive training for any reason…it is complete waste of money and time. Any legit agency will sign a model with no training or experience. And the only reason Canada’s Top Model uses them, is because they help CTM recruit talent for free, in exchange for the use of their show’s name to add to their legitimacy…People do the same thing in LA with John Robert Powers…THEY too are a complete scam…but shows will got to JRP to get a new slew of kids to audition.
Trust me when i say, if you have potential to be a model, they should sign you without taking a dime of your money.
