OMG, CAN THIS BE A SCAM?

I live in Toronto, Canada and am looking for a great agency that can give me great training and as well as provide me better chances at succeeding.

I don't know if you guys heard the agency Sutherland Models, I went to see them and they seemed to be interested in me and was suggesting me to go into their training program since i'm young with no experience, but the cost of their training programs seemed to be really expensive and i am not familiar with this industry to know what is a reasonable price to pay.

I am still looking around at other agencies, does anyone know the usual amount of money to pay for each agency in toronto for training?

You don't need to pay for classes to be a model. If an agency sees potential in you they will see that you get all the training and information you need. Go to open calls at 10 different agencies and let them have a look at you. If you have "it" then that's all you'll need to do, one of them will pick you up. At the very least you'll collect information from their feedback to try again later.

That's odd because sutherland is a good agency in Canada. Are you sure it was the same one? Sometimes an agency will want you to pay for a "test" photoshoot but you certainly don't need "school".

yea, i'm pretty sure it was the same one.
i went to the exact address on their website, and the number they called me from was also the one on the website, but i guess if they told me i had the look then i should try other agencies like elite, next or ford..
