Train with Faye Rielly:- AIPM Principal & AEP Assessor

 

 

 

Advice for Prospective Students

Don’t compromise on quality training by looking at the cost factor. You will be working on the FACE of your clients and the risk of disfigurement & scarring is very high if your trainer is not industry accredited.

Phone AP.A.A. 07 5575 9364 (Association of Professional Aestheticians of Australia) and check your trainer’s credentials.

Insurance Companies refuse to cover cosmetic tattoo unless they are satisfied with the level of training undertaken.

Our trainer, Faye Rielly is one of Australia’s foremost practitioners in the paramedical field. She was featured on ABC Australian Story for her work with burn victims.

MENTOR PROGRAMME

A mentor guides, inspires, encourages, counsels, advises, questions, and answers. The one-to-one relationship is the key to effectiveness in mentoring.  Faye’s relationship with her students does not end upon completion of their course.  It enters an exciting new phase and remains constant throughout the student’s career.

 

AIPM TRAINING IS 3 PHASED & STRUCTURED TO PRODUCE OUTSTANDING GRADUATES!

 

PREPARATORY: Upon booking, you will receive the theory component of your training. It is presented in a 50 page book and packaged with a preparatory theory exam. We ask students to read through and gain a basic understanding of the cosmetic tattoo process and familiarise themselves with terminology and relevant health and safety issues. The student presents their completed preparatory exam on commencement of training. This forms the base from which a comprehensive understanding of COSMETIC TATTOO theory is built upon in the following phases.

IN HOUSE:  The second phase is 4 days, one-on-one intensive training. You will progress from leather to working on “live models”. You will be trained to use the most current, tattooing techniques - including shading, feathering and natural hair strokes. At the conclusion of the 4 days, the instructor will assess you and map out your ongoing training. Assessment is conducted through completion of a practical and a theory exam. Do not be alarmed as there is no automatic failure. If you do not perform well in your assessment, your starting point will be a little further back at the onset of the probation period.

*You will be issued with An AIPM Certificate of Attendance so that you are able to secure your insurance prior to commencing your real world experience.

REALWORLD/ PROBATIONARY PERIOD: Students enter the probationary phase (approx 100 hours work experience) prior to final qualifications being awarded.

This work experience can be completed at our Gold Coast Institute or in your own Salon/Clinic or a combination of both. Students not attending our Institute must submit a photographic record of each treatment performed until competency is demonstrated. The instructor will review every procedure and personally provide positive feedback and advice.  Students wishing to complete work experience at our Institute can do so one day per fortnight. You will have the opportunity to observe treatments and perform fully supervised treatments on clients. Locally based students will need to bring their own models.You will also be required to keep a photographic record. Your photo portfolio is your best advertising tool as well as providing protection in a legal dispute. Photos are taken prior to procedure, after design and drawing of procedure; after completion of procedure and when the client returns for a retouch procedure.

GRADUATES: Upon successful completion of probationary period, you receive your final qualifications.

You can still avail yourself of our ongoing support and guidance. Faye provides all students with her personal mobile contact, so that you can call on her 24/7. We advise each graduate to commit to their ongoing education by attending refresher training or workshops annually.  AIPM refresher training is tailored to suit the individual student.

 

 

STUDENTS BEWARE:  The individual gets lost in the group environment. Competent, confident cosmetic tattoo practitioners do not emerge from group training environments. You will be working on a client’s face and your mistakes could be permanent. Your introduction to cosmetic tattoo should always be in a one-to-one setting. It should be conducted in an environment of trust and paced to suit you. You should feel free to ask questions and be comfortable to express personal concerns at any time during the training. There should be no pressure to perform.

 

 

EDUCATION for

THE INDIVIDUAL

SCHEDULES, BUDGET & INTERESTS vary and are as individual as you are. For this reason we have implemented a CHOICES PROGRAMME that allows you to design an education plan that is the perfect fit. 

You decide which electives you wish to study and when you wish to study them.  You will be trained one on one so our  focus will be on you.

Modules are structured to stand alone, so that a student is competent to perform treatments upon successful completion. Each module addresses relevant health and safety issues and medical contraindications.

As many of our students are keen to set themselves up in business, our course curriculum has been designed accordingly.  You will learn:

1.                  The laws pertaining to the safe practice of cosmetic tattoo in this Country – licenses, health and safety regulations and National Certification.

2.                  Indemnity, Consent and Medical Issues.  Students receive sample forms to duplicate for own use.

3.                  How to conduct initial consultation and address all enquiries with confidence and professionalism.

4.                  Client Screening – not all clients are suitable candidates, so it is important to identify which are not.

5.                  How to mix and match pigments to suit individual skin tones.

6.                  How to select shape and create symmetry and balance to enhance the client’s features. 

7.                  How to limit client discomfort – the use of topical anesthetics and other pain management techniques.

8.                  TECHNIQUES, TECHNIQUES, TECHNIQES – natural hair strokes, fine lines, bold enhancement. Our students leave with a full complement of techniques, so that they are equipped to offer both natural and dramatic aesthetic effects.

9.                  How to minimise bleeding and swelling.  Both impact greatly on the treatment outcome.

10.              Pre and post care instructions.  Your manual will include a sample of handouts to provide your client. 

11.              Pricing – cosmetic tattoo is a very lucrative venture. You will learn how to cost individual treatments and retouches if required.
