Master’s PMU & Paramedical Apprenticeship Program
The Most Comprehensive Training Program at the Academy of Advanced Cosmetics
​
The Master’s Apprenticeship Program is our flagship training designed for students who want to master both cosmetic permanent makeup and advanced paramedical tattoo procedures while gaining real hands-on experience with clients.
​
Unlike short courses that send students home after a few days of training, this program provides structured mentorship, clinic experience, and business guidance so students graduate with real skills and the confidence to build a profitable career.
​
Students learn the technical skills, client consultation process, treatment planning, and business systems needed to operate a successful permanent makeup practice.

The Apprenticeship Experience
The program is broken into three phases.
Phase 1: Bootcamp Training
Students attend an intensive bootcamp where they learn:
• Skin anatomy and pigment science
• Sanitation and safety protocols
• Mapping and design techniques
• Machine fundamentals
• Procedure workflows
​
Phase 2: Guided Clinic Experience
Students participate in supervised clinic blocks where they work with real models.
During these clinics students practice:
• Consultations
• Treatment procedures
• Client communication
• Photography and documentation
• Portfolio development
This phase is where students build confidence and repetition.
Phase 3: Portfolio & Final Evaluation
Students complete their required models and submit their final work for evaluation.
Upon successful completion students graduate with AAC certifications and a professional portfolio.
Many Students Begin Earning Before Graduation
One of the unique aspects of our apprenticeship model is that students have opportunities to work with models during clinic blocks.
​
Many students choose to charge their models a reduced rate during these sessions.
For example:
Scar camouflage procedures often average $400 – $800 per treatment in the marketplace.
Just 2–3 clients per month can significantly offset the cost of training.
These clinic opportunities allow students to:
​
• build confidence
• grow their portfolio
• begin generating income while still in training
Facility Rental Opportunities After Graduation
Graduates may also continue working within our facility using our room rental system.
​
This allows artists to:
​
• rent a treatment room for the day
• bring their own clients
• charge whatever they wish for services
This model is extremely popular with graduates because it allows them to operate with very low overhead while building their client base.
Many graduates choose to continue using our facility long after completing the program.
