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! -
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!

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.

An exceptional first time appointment.
I’d been searching for someone I could trust for treatment to help me build my confidence & I’m delighted to say Tracy and her team nailed it!
Very professional, caring & friendly.
5 star rating from a very satisfied client for: communication, consultation, preparation, results & aftercare. My aftercare goodie bag, had everything one could imagine in it, including a bag of sweeties!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new eyebrows and wouldn’t hesitate going back for more treatment.
Sending a BIG THANK U!
I honestly couldn’t recommend Tracy, her training school and team enough, you will not be disappointed!

The VTCT Level 4 Micropigmentation and microblading courses also welcome complete beginners.

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.
