NJ AAM BOARD CERTIFICATION PROCESS
Did you know that in order to offer powder brows, microblading, lip blush, etc, you must first be certified as a permanent makeup artist in the state of new jersey?!
3 Step Process
100 HOUR FUNDAMENTALS COURSE
You must attend an accredited AAM or SPCP training program. In this program you will complete 100 hours(6 days) and learn the fundamentals of permanent makeup (brows, lip blush, eyeliner) and get hands on experience. 6 hands on models will be worked on that will count towards your total 15 model requirement.
APPRENTICESHIP (15 MODELS REQUIRED)
You are required to complete 15 models in total under the supervision of a certified permanent makeup artist. 6 models should have already been completed during your 100 Hour Fundamentals Course leaving you with only 9 remaining models. We highly recommend the student supplying their own 9 models in order to begin building their clientele and experience. The procedures must be supervised by a board certified practitioner in order to count towards the apprenticeship. The apprenticeship models are charged at an additional cost per model and can be completed at the students own pace.
AAM GOLD EXAM (FEE $397)
This exam will be taken directly via the AAM's website once the previous steps have been completed and all prerequisites have been submitted.
