Microblading is a manual semi-permanent brow micropigmentation technique that requires a significant period of practice to achieve proficiency. Skill development is not measured in days but in months of continued practice.

This course is designed as a structured introduction to manual brow micropigmentation. During the training programme, learners will gain foundational knowledge of the technique, skin structure, tools, and common challenges associated with manual brow work.

Following completion of the course, learners are expected to continue practising independently. On average, approximately 150 hours of practice over three to four months is required to develop confidence, consistency, and professional competence.

This course provides the foundations required to begin this development journey safely and correctly.

• Minimum age 18
• No prior beauty or micropigmentation experience required
• A good standard of written and spoken English to understand course content, safety guidance, and assessment requirements
• Completion of the required online theory module prior to attending practical training
• Commitment to continued practice following course completion

Course fees include training delivery, supervised practical sessions, assessment, and certification.
