Consider the Course Structure...
Each course offers a unique structure and duration, which can influence your decision based on your availability and learning preferences.
Course Components
- Pre-Study Hours: Many courses require pre-study hours at home, preparing you for the practical sessions.
- In-House Training: Courses often include several days of hands-on training in a professional setting. For example, the Digital Brows Course involves five days of in-house training. In our opinion in-house training is absolutely an essential element of any Permanent Makeup or Microblading training course for any level of Artist!
- Virtual Theory Days: Some courses offer virtual theory sessions, which can be convenient if you prefer a blend of online and in-person learning.
What’s Included:
Ensure that the course provides all necessary materials. Most courses, such as those offered by ID Liner, include comprehensive kits with handpieces, pigments, pre-draw pencils, and marketing materials. This can save you time and money sourcing these items independently.
