Questions

Brows and Lips PMU or Microblading FAQs

What treatments are included?+

Brows and Lips PMU or Microblading includes your choice of Microblading or Hairstrokes, plus Ombré / Powder Brows and Lip Blush.

Can I choose Hairstrokes instead of Microblading?+

Yes. The package allows you to choose the applicable hair-stroke brow training option available through your training location / provider.

Is this suitable for beginners?+

Yes. Brows and Lips PMU or Microblading is designed as a beginner-friendly route into the core brow and lip treatments.

What is the difference between this package and Full Face PMU?+

Brows and Lips PMU or Microblading costs £2,000 and covers three core treatment areas. Full Face PMU costs £2,500 and includes the full four-treatment menu including Eyeliner.

Would the three courses cost more individually?+

Yes. At £750 each, three individual specialist courses would total £2,250. Brows and Lips PMU or Microblading is £2,000.

Is this VTCT Level 4?+

No. Brows and Lips PMU or Microblading follows the applicable ABT / CPD training route. The VTCT Level 4 Micropigmentation Pathway is a separate £3,999 programme.

Will I work on live models?+

Each student receives their own live model for supervised practical work. PMU Skool/provider can supply one, or you can bring your own suitable model by agreement.

What certification will I receive?+

The applicable ABT or CPD certification depends on your selected training provider and course. PMU Skool will confirm this before booking. Certificates are issued after training only when the tutor is satisfied with your model result and practical competence; attendance alone is insufficient.

Can I upgrade later?+

Yes. Speak to a course advisor about progressing to further training or a larger package.

Do you offer payment plans?+

Flexible payment options may be available subject to agreement with the training team. A 50% deposit secures your date.

How big are the classes?+

Classes usually have 2–3 students, with a maximum of 4, allowing close tutor supervision during practical work.

Will I work on a live model?+

Yes. Each student receives their own live model for supervised practical work, alongside a tutor demonstration.

Do you provide the live model or can I bring my own?+

PMU Skool or your training provider can supply your live model. You may bring your own suitable model if you prefer; agree suitability and arrangements with your provider before training.

What do I need to bring / what should I wear?+

You do not need to bring equipment. Tie back long hair, wear flat shoes and avoid loose or baggy clothing during practical training.

Is there any pre-course work?+

Yes. Complete the required workbooks and read your course manuals before course completion or attending the relevant practical training, as instructed. Students who have not completed the required preparation may be asked to leave the session, as attending unprepared can disrupt the learning flow of the class. Follow the preparation instructions supplied for your course.

When do I receive my certificate?+

For ABT / CPD specialist and package training, certificates are issued after training only when the tutor is satisfied with your model result and practical competence. Attendance alone does not qualify you for certification. VTCT qualifications have their own required learning, practical evidence and assessments; the ABT / CPD completion rule does not replace those requirements.

What happens if I need more practice after training?+

You can return for additional supervised practice if needed, at an additional cost. Discuss the arrangements and cost with your advisor. For ABT / CPD training, your tutor must be satisfied with your model result and practical competence before issuing a certificate; VTCT assessment requirements remain separate.

What support do I receive after training?+

Ongoing WhatsApp mentoring includes mapping, healing, colour selection, treatment feedback, pricing, portfolio development and troubleshooting. PMU Skool also provides general student and business guidance.

Do you help me get paying/practice clients after the course?+

After successful course completion, students who have a suitable treatment setup at home can access THREE paying-client practice opportunities, with each client paying £50–£150 per treatment. You must meet the insurance and local licensing requirements that apply to your circumstances before treating paying clients. No income or timescale is promised. Additional supervised practice is available at an additional cost.

Are payment plans available?+

Flexible deposit and split-payment options are available subject to eligibility and agreement with the training team. The deposit is 50% of the course price.

When is the remaining balance due?+

The remaining balance is due no later than 5 days before the course start date.

What happens after I pay my deposit?+

You receive a booking confirmation email and your course manuals, and you are booked into an onboarding call with an advisor. Complete the required preparation as instructed before the relevant practical training.

Can I reschedule my course?+

You may reschedule once if you give at least 14 days’ notice before the course start date. If you request a reschedule within 14 days of the start date, your deposit is lost.

What are the cancellation/refund terms?+

If you cancel at least 14 days before the course start date, your deposit is refundable less a £250 non-refundable booking/admin fee. If you cancel within 14 days of the course start date, your deposit is lost.

Can I see who my tutor will be before booking?+

Yes. Tutor information can be shared during the booking process and before booking if you request it.

Where can I read student reviews?+

Read student reviews and messages on our Reviews page.
