Education and Training Requirements
High School
There are no standard educational requirements for models. Most employers of photographic models prefer at least a high school education. Courses such as sewing, family and consumer science, and photography are helpful. Classes in dance, fencing, Asian arts such as tai chi, and other studies that focus on body and movement control provide a good foundation for modeling. Public speaking and business courses are helpful since models often work as freelancers.
