Learn skin, safety, color and equipment principles.
Watch live demonstrations from your instructors.
Practice mapping and machine movements on latex and artificial skins.
Receive direct feedback before moving forward.
Prepare consultation, consent and aftercare documentation.
Work on live models under supervision after meeting license requirements.
Review photography, healing and touch-up decisions.
