What you will learn?
Do you want to enter microblading but need a complete beginner route with regulated training and supervised model practice?
A short introductory course may not provide sufficient depth in brow design, skin knowledge, colour selection, hygiene, consultation and practical assessment.
This beginner-friendly VTCT Level 4 course combines theory, live-model training, case studies, assessment and a professional kit to help you develop your skills through a structured qualification.
VTCT Level 4 microblading training for beginners
This is the complete training route for students who are new to microblading or semi-permanent makeup. It leads to the VTCT Level 4 Certificate in Enhancing Eyebrows with Microblading Techniques.
If you already have microblading or PMU training and practical experience, our VTCT Level 4 Microblading Upgrade Course may be the more suitable route.
What you will learn
The qualification covers client consultation, health and safety, eyebrow design, colour theory, skin knowledge, safe microblading techniques, treatment planning and aftercare. Practical sessions help you develop controlled hairstrokes and work safely with different client needs.
How long does the qualification take?
The tutor-led academy timetable is four days over four weeks. Students then complete four independent case studies outside the academy. Once these case studies are approved, students return to the academy for their final theory exams and two practical assessments. The total time to qualification therefore depends on the quality and timing of the case-study submissions.
Live models, case studies and assessment
You will practise under tutor supervision and work on live models during the four academy training days. You will then complete four independent case studies outside the academy, documenting consultations, treatment plans, practical work and healed results. Once these are approved, you will return to the academy for final theory exams and two practical assessments.
Qualification, insurance and local requirements
Licensing and insurance requirements are not identical across the UK. Before offering treatments, check the qualification evidence required by your insurer and by the council responsible for the premises where you plan to work.
