I have recently completed the VTCT level 4 Micropigmentation course with Signature Academy and I could not be happier and more excited to start my new career in permanent makeup. Right from the first phone conversation I had with a Tracy I knew she was the right person to train with, even though she’s over 200 miles away from me! Not only is her expertise unmatched, she is passionate about her work and has been such a great mentor, and will continue to be throughout my career. If I have any questions or need help, Tracy and her team of expert trainers are only on the end of the phone. If you decide to train with Signature Academy you won’t be disappointed and with the level of support you get, it was worth every penny. I will definitely be back for more courses in the future.

I went to Signature academy owned by Tracy Fensome as a model for her student to have a permanent makeup lip blush. Tracy and her student were very professional and helped me choose the perfect colour to match for my skin tone and to keep it natura. They explained the process and kept me updated all the time in the progress! The treatment was painless and very comfortable! I loved listening to Tracy teaching her student and her student was very professional and kept checking my comfort. Anyone who is thinking to be a model I would highly recommend Signature Academy. From the start to the end with full aftercare I felt safe and looked after. The colour is amazing and I’m super impressed with the look even after three days Absolutely LOVE! Thank you to the team!

I recently completed the Areola and Nipple Reconstruction course at Signature Academy, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Tracy and Caroline are true experts in the field, combining exceptional professionalism with warmth, patience, and a deep commitment to their students' success.
The training was thorough, structured, and delivered at the highest standard. It gave me the knowledge and confidence to help women reconnect with their bodies after some of the most challenging experiences of their lives. This course was a truly meaningful and unforgettable experience.
In addition to the areola reconstruction training, I was also qualified in scar and stretch-mark revision as well as camouflage techniques, which together provide a comprehensive skill set for restorative and paramedical tattooing.
For anyone looking to learn from the very best in the industry, Signature Academy is the perfect choice.
