What is permanent makeup and how long does it last?

Permanent makeup (PMU) is cosmetic tattooing that enhances facial features like eyebrows, lips, and eyeliner. Results typically last 1-3 years, depending on the treatment, skin type, and aftercare. Touch-ups are recommended every 12-18 months to maintain the best results.

Do you provide models for training?

Yes! We provide live model clients for all our practical training sessions. This ensures you get real hands-on experience before treating your own clients. Models are included in the course fee and are carefully selected to match your training level.

What equipment do I need to get started?

We provide starter kit information and can help you source professional PMU equipment. Most courses include information on recommended machines, needles, pigments, and aftercare products. Some courses may include starter kits - check individual course details.

Do I need a license to practice PMU?

Some local authorities require a special treatments licence. You will need insurance and nationally recognised qualifications. We provide guidance on registration, insurance requirements, and qualification options during your training.

How long does it take to learn PMU?

Foundation courses typically take 1-3 days of intensive practical training plus e-learning. Advanced courses vary from 1-2 days. Most students can start practicing on clients immediately after completing foundation courses, though we recommend practicing on models first.

What qualifications do I need to start PMU training?

No prior qualifications are required for foundation PMU courses. However, having a background in beauty therapy, tattooing, or art can be beneficial. For advanced courses, completion of foundation training is usually required.

Where are your training centres located?

We have a training centre in Orpington, South East London. Most courses run weekly. You can find our location and get directions on Google Maps.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we offer flexible payment plans and finance options including Snap Finance for courses over £500. Contact our admissions team to discuss payment options that work for you.

Are your courses accredited?

Yes! We're accredited by VTCT (iTEC), CPD, and are a registered training centre. Our VTCT qualifications are Ofqual-regulated and nationally recognised. Last year we trained over 1,100 students.
