Each course consists of 2 modules.

Module 1

Your theory work & assessments.

Module 2

At our Liverpool studio you will complete your hands on piercing training, final assessments and written exam.

The length of your module 2 will depend on the training course you book.

On your training you will be trained one to one to give you the best experience and ensure you receive the undivided attention of your teacher as well as having constant guidance and reassurance throughout. You will be using different clamps, both metal and disposable and a range of needles.

It is important to understand that models choose their piercings and therefore we cannot guarantee you will get to work on each piercing equally. We do, however, limit the amount of each piercing that can be booked to ensure we provide enough piercings to gain the necessary experience to qualify as an ear piercer.

Simply booking your course does not guarantee a pass.

We expect you to complete your theory successfully before your practical training. On your practical days, you will be required to pierce your models from start to finish, this is from setting up, to providing aftercare advice and everything in-between. You will be required to show a certain level of competence when piercing, and be able to handle stressful situations if, or when they arise. Although your teacher is there to help, support or take over if an unforeseen problem arises, it's important you show that you are capable of doing your job independently as you work through each piercing booking.
