About us

AAM was born and established in 2013, to help aspiring models become professional models and succeed in this competitive industry.
Our great team consists of international industry experts, who are still actively working in the industry, so our courses’ content is relevant and constantly up-to-date.
We want to see AAM students excel personally and professionally with our hands on and practical training. So, for all our Comprehensive Model Course graduates, we personally apply to modelling agencies and send in their e-comp cards to our booker friends around Melbourne.
Whether you are starting out in the industry or want to gain extra skills and knowledge, AAM is the perfect foundation to build your modelling career on.

Our Team
We picked the best in the industry to train YOU and mentor you, so you have all the support needed to chase your dreams! We have a trainer per module, specialising in that particular field. So you can learn from the best and gain insight knowledge. Many of our trainers have worked worldwide, so our students gain international knowledge and skills in the modelling industry.
Our trainers, aka industry experts, are all actively working in the industry, providing current and up-to-date content for our students. During our in-house photo shoots, we have an amazing creative team of makeup artists, hair and fashion stylists, to glam up all the students for their portfolio shoots. AAM students have the opportunity to utilize the trainers and the creatives involved throughout the training and start networking whilst they are studying.
