  • I recently completed my VTCT Level 4 Micropigmentation course with Tracy at Signature Academy, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. Tracy was absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire course. Her knowledge, experience, and support were incredible, and she helped me so much throughout the whole time while completing my qualification. I genuinely loved every part of the course with her.

    I’d also like to mention Angela, who was equally amazing. SHe was very supportive, relaxed, encouraging, and always available whenever I had questions or needed guidance.

    Both trainers are extremely experienced and knowledgeable in their field, and they create such a welcoming and supportive learning environment. I highly recommend Tracy and Angela for any courses you may be interested in — you definitely won’t be disappointed.

    Highly recommend Signature Academy to everyone!

  • My experience with Tracy from the very beginning has been nothing but a pleasure and a breath of fresh air. From our early conversations, Tracy made a very big effort to understand me, my motivations, strengths and potential weaknesses whilst keeping the conversations extremely personable and transparent - at no point did I feel her service was transactional or sales driven. Throughout the training, she shows up with enthusiasm and genuine care, going above and beyond her 1-2-1 support. It’s safe to say she has been one of my biggest cheerleaders whilst I navigate starting my own business and learning my skills. Tracy has my utmost respect and demonstrates an all round great person, trainer and mentor. I would recommend highly, and have confidence you’re in great hands - the pleasure is all mine!

  • I’ve completed all of my qualifications with Signature Academy and couldn’t recommend them enough!

    The training days are always so enjoyable, and the support I’ve received after completing each course has been amazing too.

    Thank you so much to the whole team at Signature Academy for your support! ✨

  • 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.

  • 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!

Do I need prior experience or qualifications to enrol?

Entry requirements vary by course. The VTCT Level 2 Beauty Therapy and VTCT Level 2 Facial Massage and Skincare courses require no prior qualifications. The VTCT Level 4 Micropigmentation and microblading courses also welcome complete beginners. Advanced courses such as the VTCT Level 4 Certificate in Advanced Aesthetic Therapies require a regulated Level 3 qualification in Beauty or Facial Electricals, or completion of the VTCT Level 3 Access to Aesthetics. All applicants must be aged 18 or over and have a good command of spoken and written English.

How large are the classes at Signature Academy?

Signature Academy deliberately keeps class sizes very small. Most VTCT courses accommodate a maximum of three to four learners per session, ensuring close one-to-one trainer attention throughout. Some permanent makeup courses are delivered on a one-to-one or one-to-two basis with Tracy Fensome herself.

Is finance available to help pay for courses?

Yes. Signature Academy offers flexible payment options including a deposit to secure your place, PayPal Pay in 3 or 4 months at 0% interest (subject to a 2% admin fee), and Klarna. Full payment options and any available savings are detailed on individual course pages or can be discussed by calling 07980 578252.

What happens after I complete my course?

On completion of an Ofqual-regulated VTCT qualification, students receive their award and can immediately seek insurance to work with clients in a salon, spa, or as a mobile or home-based therapist. Signature Academy also provides post-course business mentoring, access to training videos for up to six months, and ongoing support from Tracy Fensome and the training team. Progression pathways are mapped out for every learner to guide their next qualification step.
