COURSE INFORMATION · BEFORE YOU ENROL · FOREST HILL
Good training starts with clear information. This page answers the questions prospective students most need settled before booking: whether a course suits your experience, how fees and dates are confirmed, what a completion certificate does and doesn’t mean, and what you are responsible for before you offer treatments to clients.

QUESTIONS 01–04
Not sure where to begin? Our guide Learning Cosmetic Tattooing: Where to Start walks through the first decisions in plain English.
Yes. Our hands-on training is designed for adults starting out in the beauty industry as well as beauty professionals adding a new technique. Classes are small and taught directly by Olha Po, a licensed cosmetic tattoo artist who has worked professionally since 2016, so lessons follow your individual progress rather than a fixed pace.
Learning cosmetic tattooing is far more than operating a machine and following a design. Alongside technique practice, training covers mapping and symmetry, colour theory, pigment choice, skin and hygiene, and aftercare guidance. See Before the Needle: How We Teach for the full method.
Most students start with one of our core courses: the Eyebrow Tattoo Course (powder and ombre brows), the Lip Tattoo Course or the Eyeliner Tattoo Course. If you want broader training, the Cosmetic Tattoo Course Package brings the core techniques together. Specialist options include microblading, fine line tattooing, laser tattoo removal, saline tattoo removal and laser hair removal. Torn between brow techniques? Read Powder Brows, Ombre Brows or Microblading?
Course fees, what is included, training dates and duration are confirmed directly with you when you enquire, so the details match the course and the timing you’re considering. Training is face-to-face in Forest Hill, Melbourne, and students from across Australia are welcome, provided they book and attend in person.
COMPLETION CERTIFICATES
A longer explanation is in our article What a Course Completion Certificate Means.
IT REPRESENTS
That you completed the practical skills training for your course with us.
That you trained directly with Olha Po in a small, hands-on class.
A starting point for continued practice, not an endpoint.
IT IS NOT
A government-accredited or nationally recognised qualification, or a university degree.
A licence, professional registration or permission to perform regulated procedures.
A guarantee of employment, income, independent competency or regulatory approval to practise.
RISKS & SAFE PRACTICE
Cosmetic tattooing, tattoo removal and laser treatments are practical procedures that carry risks. They must be performed with appropriate training, hygiene and safety precautions. That is why skin assessment, infection control and aftercare guidance are taught alongside technique, and why we treat them as part of the craft rather than an afterthought.
Olha teaches as a practising cosmetic tattoo artist and trainer. She is not a medical practitioner, and our courses don’t replace medical advice for clients with health concerns.
BEFORE YOU OFFER TREATMENTS COMMERCIALLY
01 Business registration that applies to you
02 Appropriate insurance
03 Infection control requirements
04 Local council and state regulatory requirements
Meeting these requirements is the student’s responsibility. Check with the relevant authorities where you plan to work.
