THE HANDAN KESER
METHOD
OMBRE BROW TRAINING PROGRAMME
A CPD-accredited, one-to-one ombre brow programme, taught personally by Handan Keser and designed differently from traditional beginner courses. Rather than teaching everything within a few consecutive days, the programme allows you to develop your knowledge, confidence and practical skills over time.
CPD accredited · Certificate on completion · 1:1 private training · Starter kit included · 4-block programme · Supervised live model
WELCOME TO THE ACADEMY
Our aim is not simply to certify students. Our aim is to produce safe, confident and competent Ombre Brow Artists.
At Handan Keser Academy, we believe that competency cannot be rushed. Permanent makeup is a skilled profession that requires patience, consistency and ongoing practice.
Every student learns at a different pace. For this reason, progression through the programme is based on demonstrated competence rather than attendance alone, and each stage must be successfully completed before moving on to the next.
Throughout your training you will receive ongoing guidance, constructive feedback and support at every step of your learning journey.
FOUR BLOCKS. THIRTY-NINE MODULES.
The Handan Keser Method is delivered over four structured training blocks, combined with independent study and supervised practice. Each block develops specific knowledge and practical skills before moving on to more advanced techniques. Between blocks, students complete assignments, practical exercises and portfolio work. Certification is awarded once all assignments have been successfully completed.
HOW EACH BLOCK WORKS
i. One day of teaching: a full day of one-to-one classroom training with Handan.
ii. Live demonstration: Handan completes a treatment on a model, showing every step in practice.
iii. Assignments and practice: students complete set assignments and practise, building their portfolio.
iv. Review: work is brought back and reviewed together at the start of the next block.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need previous experience?
No. The course is open to everyone, from complete beginners to experienced beauty professionals. Block 1 covers all of the theory and foundations before any machine work begins.
Why is the course split into four blocks?
Each block is a full day of one-to-one teaching, finishing with a live demonstration on a model. Students then go away to complete assignments, practise and build their portfolio, and bring their work back to be reviewed at the next block. This means every skill is properly understood and practised before moving on.
What does CPD accredited mean?
The course has been independently assessed against continuing professional development standards, and you will receive a certificate recording your CPD points on completion.
Will I be able to work on clients afterwards?
You will need appropriate insurance and, in London, a licence from your local borough. Guidance on both is covered during the course.
How much does the course cost?
Please enquire for pricing. Handan will be happy to talk you through the investment and upcoming dates.
