VTCT microblading courses

Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that creates an extremely natural, fuller and more defined brow specifically tailored to each client. An artist uses a manual handheld pen-like tool, made up of a series of fine needles to create small individual strokes or cuts in your skin. After pigment is added, these strokes mimic natural hair.

This microblading course is VTCT accredited and is the equivalent of a level 4 qualification. It designed for professional therapists aged 18 and over, wishing to study to an advanced level both theoretically and practically. The training will give you the knowledge to perform advanced eyebrow treatments using a variety of microblading techniques. The training will require at least 100 hours of self-study.

• Anatomy and physiology for microblading (equivalent to level 4).

• In depth consultation knowledge and techniques.
