About Our Coaching
At Ace Models Cape Town North, our coaching is built on years of extensive industry experience, ensuring that every model receives top-tier training. All our coaching is done in-house, allowing us to provide a consistent, high-quality learning experience tailored to each individual.
We take a holistic approach to training, focusing on the development of both professional modelling skills and personal growth. Our training covers essential areas such as ramp skills, public speaking, posture correction, photographic skills, presentation skills, and self-development. Whether a model is looking to step onto the runway, build a personal brand, or simply grow in confidence, our coaching equips them with the tools to succeed in the industry and beyond.
While our main focus is modelling, we take those modelling aspects and teach them in such a way that our models can be used in everyday life. Even if they don’t want to pursue a career in modelling, our curriculum is diverse and can be used in different aspects of life.
We allow space for independence, free speech, creativity and much more. This allows our models to truly step out of their comfort zones and be the best version of themselves. We focus significantly on confidence building, self development, public speaking, and general life skills, as we truly want to make a difference in our youth and be more than just a modelling academy.
