Practical Demonstration
Practical demonstrations allow students to observe professional techniques in real time. Focus on shield placement, lash adhesion, correct perming and neutralising procedures, and precise tint application. Demonstrations should emphasise client comfort, hygiene, and step-by-step execution.

Practical Practice
Hands-on practice is essential for skill development. Students should begin on mannequins and gradually progress to live models under supervision. Encourage precision in lash lifting, correct shield selection, tinting, and client aftercare guidance. Regular practice reinforces confidence and ensures treatment safety.
Theory Exam
A structured theory exam tests students’ knowledge of anatomy, product chemistry, health and safety, consultation, and treatment protocols. This ensures they have fully grasped the principles behind lash lift and tint treatments before performing them on clients.
Practical Assessment
Practical assessment evaluates students’ ability to execute the treatment safely and effectively. Assessors should review shield placement, lash adhesion, perming, tint application, and aftercare instruction. Constructive feedback allows students to refine their techniques and gain confidence.
Certificate of Completion
Upon successfully completing both theory and practical assessments, students receive a certificate of completion. This credential validates their skills and knowledge, providing them with professional recognition that can be presented to clients or employers.
