Quality Candle Making Education by distance learning:

Photo of Candle Design / Candlemaking Courses by distance learning• The Candle Academy offers premium on-site candle making classes and online study courses.

• These comprehensive courses aim to equip you with the creative, technical, and commercial skills you need to make a profit and livelihood from this profession.

• Our unique and intensive candle making courses taught through distance learning and online study follow the same techniques and training methods as our face-to-face programs, making it an ideal solution for people that live too far to be able to attend in person in Jamaica in the Caribbean.

• Quality candle design techniques can take years to study yet if taught properly, can be learned through essential formulas.

• These key formulas are highly guarded by professional candle makers because they translate not only into ideas but also into business revenue. Everything that is learned at The Candle Academy is an accumulation of being active in this special career and market for 20 years.

Message from your instructor, Gary Simmons:

Image of Candle Design / Candlemaking Courses by distance learning• Hello, and thank you for your interest in The Candle Academy.  I will be delighted to assist you in learning about this very unique career choice or rewarding hobby.

• My main objective in offering these specialist courses through distance learning are two fold.

• The first goal is to introduce the many possibilities this highly flexible artistic medium has to offer with full comprehension of every technique and inspiring each student to find their own creative ability.

• The second goal is to provide you with a full understanding of the business opportunities available in this field.

• With over 20 years of experience and constant research, all of the techniques I teach are kept current and marketable. Once all my courses are completed, graduates truly have a complete education in candle design.

• To date, I have taught these unique courses in London (UK), Dubai (UAE), Shanghai (China), Singapore, Thailand, Cairo (Egypt), Monaco, Jamaica, Florida and Los Angeles, California, and I want to impart my knowledge and experience of this ancient trade to students globally for you to create your own distinctive imprint in candle design. 

• The success of my online candle making courses is based on the fact that they are interactive, unlike so many other online or video courses. I don't just send you the information hoping that is sufficient.

• At the end of each course, I still expect you to send photos of your creations, and to complete a written test before we move can on to the next level course.

• With these online-based courses, you will find it as extensive as attending one of our workshops. It is just like you are attending my academy in Thailand, and learn the exact same way as face-to-face students.

• You will receive a list of products and materials you need to purchase so you have everything ready to make my designs. The price for you to do this may be around 400 USD / 500 USD, depending on where you live, which will include everything to create the candles for the complete course by distance learning. You will also have enough product to create stock which will help to balance your startup cost.

• It is my belief that if you want to learn any new business, you need to learn everything intensively and properly because when you do, this will save you money and time in the long term. The training is structured that way; it starts with learning the basics and progresses to more complicated techniques as we go along.

• Your and my dedication combined, will bring you to levels of candle making that you would never have imagined. I very much look forward to being part of your artistic journey.

Regards,

Gary
