How to Choose the Right Permanent Makeup Training Course

Selecting the right training course can be a pivotal step in your career, especially in the dynamic and competitive world of Permanent Makeup and Microblading. With various options available, it's crucial to choose a course that aligns with your goals and experience level, and equips you with the skills, experience and tools needed to succeed.

This guide will help you navigate through the different training courses and select the one that's best for you.

 

Identify Your Starting Point...

Are You a Beginner?

If you are new to the world of Permanent Makeup or Microblading, a fundamental beginners course is essential. These courses are designed for individuals with no prior experience, including those not from a beauty background.

The ID Liner Fundamental Beginners Training Courses cover theory, technique, and practical skills, equipping you with the knowledge and tools to start your career confidently. 

Our Fundamental Beginners Training courses include:

Combo Courses: A Great Choice for Comprehensive Training

For those looking to expand their skill set and save on training costs, our Combo Courses are an excellent option. These courses combine multiple Fundamental Beginners Training programmes, providing a comprehensive learning experience at a reduced price.

Our Combo Courses include:

Choosing a combo course not only provides extensive training across multiple techniques but also offers significant financial savings. This makes them an excellent choice for those serious about launching and advancing their career in Permanent Makeup and Microblading. 

Are You Looking to Specialise?

If you have already completed your beginners training and now want to advance your knowledge or specialise in a particular area, there are targeted courses available. For example:

 

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.

 

Evaluate the Learning Outcomes...

Understanding what you will learn and achieve by the end of the course is crucial.

Fundamental Skills

All of our courses cover essential topics such as:

  • Health and Safety
  • Colour Theory
  • Client Suitability
  • Anatomy and Physiology
  • Treatment Protocols

Advanced Techniques

For those looking to expand their skillset, courses like the 3D Areola Hyper-Realism Masterclass and Hyper-Realism Brows Masterclass offer advanced training in specific, high-demand techniques.

 

Look for Added Value...

Professional Progression

Consider courses that offer a progression pathway. For instance, the ID Liner Professional Progression Programme takes you from a beginner to an advanced level, eventually guiding you to become a Master artist capable of developing your own signature techniques.

Cost and Savings

Check if the course offers any combination options or discounts. ID Liner’s mix and match system allows students to combine courses, benefiting from rapid progression and significant savings.

Certification and Accreditation

We are a VTCT accredited training provider and our courses at ID Liner provide recognised certifications. For example, the Permanent Makeup Laser Removal Training Course is fully CPD accredited, which can enhance your credibility and career prospects.

 

Match the Course to Your Career Goals...

Finally, align the course with your long-term career goals. If you aim to offer a comprehensive range of services, choose courses that cover multiple areas such as brows, eyeliner, lips, and scalp micropigmentation. For those looking to specialise, focus on courses that dive deep into specific treatments.

Example Career Path

  1. Start with Fundamental Beginners Training: Gain a solid foundation in Permanent Makeup and Microblading.
  2. Specialise with Courses Like 3D Areola Hyperrealism Masterclass or Hyperrealism Brows Masterclass: Add specific techniques to your repertoire.
