You will need to ensure that the PMU course you enroll with for your basic Microblading training is accredited by: the Society of Permanent Makeup Professionals (SPCP) or the American Academy for Micropigmentation (AAM), regardless of which training establishment you enroll with for your fundamental training. MOKO|DOJO is accredited by the AAM.

An accredited fundamental course will cover the basic theoretical, practical, and medical aspects of micropigmentation. After successfully completing your course,  you will then continue on to an apprenticeship or use this course towards your license application. 

Micropigmentation Apprenticeships are an opportunity to learn from someone in the PMU industry who is more experienced and can provide you with guidance while starting out in this exciting industry! You will work under a licensed Body Art Practitioner or instructor before you can obtain a permit to practice on your own. 

Towns and Cities may require an apprenticeship along with your certification in order to obtain your license. Apprenticeship requirements will vary by town, so we would recommend looking at several towns you are interested in, to see which town may be the best fit for your needs.

Microblading License Requirements may include a specific time frame, a certain number of hours, or a certain number of “models.” There is no right or wrong way to complete an apprenticeship, and We always recommend partnering with your local board of health for any specifics. 

For example, a 200 to 300 hour apprenticeship could be completed in a few weeks or a few months depending on how much time the individual can set aside weekly for their apprenticeship. 

You are able to generate revenue as an apprentice! Apprentices are not required to provide their micropigmentation services for free. We would recommend starting off with friends, family, and models, and once comfortable and ready you can begin charging clients for your PMU services!

We have officially Launched The Beauty of Business Apprenticeship Program! We are offering Eyebrow & Lip Blush Apprenticeships at DOJO.

This Apprenticeship Program is perfect if you:

• Want to take a beginner PMU training, or already have but unsure where to start after completion
• You want ample hands-on training, allowing you to refine your skills under the guidance of experienced professionals.
• You want to get connected with experienced professionals, fellow apprentices, and potentially future clients, creating valuable relationships that can support your career development.

• Proper safety and hygiene practices are critical in the beauty industry. We greatly emphasize on these aspects, ensuring that participants are well-versed in maintaining a clean and safe working environment for both themselves and their clients.
