Kane Modeling school is like any other modeling school: they charge a large amount of money to aspiring models and in return those individuals receive training and learn skills necessary to prepare them for agency representation. However, modeling schools cannot guarantee that anyone will get signed to a top agency, nor can they guarantee that you will be successful in the industry.
Many refer to modeling schools as scams and even though there are other more legitimate ways of entering the modeling industry, there are individuals that have gone on to modeling success as a result of their affiliation with a modeling school. As long as the school states up front that they charge such fees for certain services and do not claim to "guarantee" you agency representation/success, then they are following the law. Anyone who enters a modeling school does so at his/her own risk.
John Robert Powers is not a modeling agency, they are a modeling school. After you audition for them, they will give you feedback and ask you to sign up for modeling and/or acting classes, which usually ranges from hundreds to thousands of dollars.
You do not need to attend a modeling school or take classes to become a model (male or female). Agencies will train new models for free if they feel your look is marketable. An "agency" which requires that you take specific "classes" is almost certainly a scam, and should be avoided.
Absolutely not, if there was no modeling agencies, all your favorite magazines would not exist, and peoples' beauty would not become famous.
No, some people think John Robert Powers is a scam. But it is not an agency that books you jobs, it is a school where you learn about modeling and acting.

A modeling scam involves situations where individuals or organizations pretend to be legitimate entities within the modeling industry (agency, manager, photographer, casting director, etc.) in order to trick unsuspecting aspiring models into paying them hundreds to thousands of dollars. In reality the services and promises by the scam will not be fulfilled and the people that pay the money are often left with substantial financial loss.
