Licensing Process Explained
In India, the licensing process for tattooing, piercing, permanent makeup (PMU), microblading, and tattoo removal varies by local authority but generally involves several key steps. Practitioners must apply for a Special Treatments License from their local council, which requires proving their competence and adherence to strict hygiene standards. This often includes submitting detailed information about their premises and operational procedures, completing a health and safety course, and sometimes passing a specific examination. Additionally, for treatments like PMU and microblading, practitioners may need to show certificates from recognized training courses. The aim of these regulations is to ensure that all procedures are performed safely and to a high standard, protecting both practitioners and clients.

Course refunds
You may request a course refund within 30 days of purchase. If you have done more than one lesson, you are not eligible for a refund under this policy. Logging in, accessing the course, or doing only one lesson does not by itself make you ineligible. This policy does not affect your applicable statutory rights.

Pay As You Go is flexible: pay for each next part only when you are ready. There is no obligation to purchase subsequent parts, and choosing Part 1 does not commit you to later payments. Part 1 is not the full course and does not by itself qualify you for the full-course certificate.
