Theory & Course Structure

All theory work is completed online in your own time, allowing you to study flexibly around your schedule while progressing through the course at a pace that suits you. Once your online theory and coursework have been successfully completed, your practical assessment will then be arranged.

Assessment Options

We offer both online and in-person practical assessment options, allowing students to choose the training pathway best suited to their schedule, location, and learning preferences.

Online Assessment

Our online assessment option offers flexibility for students training from anywhere in the world. Practical assessments are completed live via Zoom with real-time guidance and support throughout. Students will receive an assessment kit to complete their case studies, with a full comprehensive professional kit provided upon successfully passing the course. This option is ideal for those wanting flexible training while still benefiting from high standards and one-to-one support.

Our in-person assessment takes place at our Liverpool studio, where students complete their practical training and assessments in a professional studio environment under direct supervision from our experienced team. This option is ideal for students who prefer face-to-face learning and additional in-person support during their assessment process.

Both assessment pathways are designed to ensure students receive the knowledge, confidence, and practical experience required to progress professionally within the piercing industry.
