Course Pathways

Level 4 Ofqual-Regulated


Beginner Qualifications

​Begin your permanent makeup career with strong foundations and a recognised qualification pathway.

The beginner route provides comprehensive education for students entering the permanent makeup industry without an existing PMU qualification.

You will develop the theory, practical skills and professional understanding needed to begin working safely and responsibly. Learning continues beyond the classroom through guided practice, case studies, assessment and portfolio development.

Training covers areas such as:

          Health, safety and infection prevention

          Anatomy, physiology and skin science

          Consultation and client assessment

          Contraindications and treatment planning

          Colour and pigment theory

          Needle configurations and equipment

          Machine control and pigment implantation

          Mapping and treatment design

          Practical treatment skills

          Healing, aftercare and retention

          Managing complications and unexpected outcomes

          Photography, record keeping and professional standards

          Case studies, assessment and portfolio completion

          Building confidence for independent practice

Level 4 beginner training requires commitment. Classroom attendance is only one part of the learning process; students must also be prepared to practise, complete theory work, produce case studies and respond to feedback.

Best suited to: Beginners who want a thorough entry into permanent makeup through a regulated qualification route.

Conversion Pathway

Convert your existing permanent makeup education into a regulated Level 4 qualification.

This route is designed for experienced permanent makeup artists who have already completed substantial training and practical work but now need to meet the requirements of a Level 4 regulated qualification.

Your previous education and experience will be reviewed to determine whether the conversion route is appropriate. You will then complete the required learning, practical assessment, evidence and portfolio work necessary to demonstrate that you meet the qualification standards.

The programme may include:

          Initial assessment of qualifications and experience

          Identification of knowledge or evidence gaps

          Level 4 theory and underpinning knowledge

          Health, safety and infection prevention

          Anatomy, physiology and skin science

          Client consultation and treatment planning

          Practical observation and assessment

          Case studies and portfolio development

          Reflective practice

          Ongoing tutor and assessor support

This is not a quick certificate or attendance-only course. It is a structured route towards demonstrating the knowledge, practical ability and professional standards required by the qualification.

Best suited to: Established permanent makeup artists with suitable previous training and industry experience.
