FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

Are Dermace a reputable Academy?

Dermace are proactively being audited and monitored by external governing bodies. We don't just sing our own praises - we ask people like HABIA, BABTAC, ABT and VTCT to assess us in a variety of ways:

Our Academy - Does it meet all the health and safety requirements? Is it comfortable, clean, and a great place to learn without distraction?

Our Trainers - Are they qualified to actually teach in general, and are they qualified to teach Semi Permanent Makeup and Medical Micropigmentation? Are they properly insured and council registered?

Our Courses - Do they meet (or in our case, exceed) the standards required for accreditation by VTCT, HABIA, or ABT? Are Dermace committed to updating course content and keeping methods current?

We are committed to being continually reviewed and audited by the governing bodies we work with in the industry. All the accreditations we have are aimed at providing peace of mind to our trainees - and ultimately ensure you are getting the very best training possible.

Are the Trainers at Dermace Qualified and Experienced enough to train me?

Dermace trainers are PTLLS or equivalent qualified - which means they are 'trained to be trainers'.

This ensures that in addition to being some of the most experienced and talented technicians in the industry, they can also make sure that your training is as effective and focussed as possible. Everybody learns in different ways, which is why we don't operate a 'one size fits all' training experience.

We have the expertise and skills to ensure you get the most from your training in a one-to-one format. 

How do Dermace price their courses?

At Dermace we feel we offer the best value training courses in the UK.

We do not cut corners on any aspect of the training, and pride ourselves in teaching you a wide variety of techniques for each procedure.

Dermace are fully insured, council registered, Habia inspected (Centre of Expertise), ABT Accredited, and VTCT Approved - in short, we offer you the best packages for the best prices of any comparable Academy or course.

With Dermace, you're paying for your training, machine, and kit. You're NOT paying for huge marketing campaigns or celebrity endorsements.

Are your facilities set up for training, or is it just a treatment room?

The Dermace Academy at West Park street is one of the largest permanent makeup training centres in the UK. We have three floors with boardroom-style theory rooms, practical training rooms, breakout areas, and more intimate training rooms for one-to-one bespoke sessions.
We have plans to expand further still in in the coming years to better accommodate our ever-growing Permanent Makeup Supplies Store, and offer more beauty and aesthetics training.

Do you offer 1 to 1 Training?

Yes! We feel that a permanent makeup course as intensive as the Dermace Diploma requires focus and concentration.

Some of our Workshop courses are run with a group of technicians, but these are designed for experienced technicians where working with peers is beneficial.

We do NOT charge extra for one-to-one practical training - it comes as standard with your Diploma course if that's what you want.
