Ten modules, in the order you need them.

Questions
Is the certificate a licence to pierce?
No. It is a certificate of completing an online course. It does not qualify anyone to pierce the public on its own. Your next steps are certified bloodborne-pathogens training, practice on practice skin, and a supervised apprenticeship.
Do I need any experience?
No. The course starts from zero and is built for people who want to become professional piercers, and for new piercers who want a solid foundation.
Can I use this to pierce myself or my friends at home?
No. There are no self-piercing lessons. Every technique lesson is demonstrated on practice skin, and you should pierce people only under a supervising professional.
How do I pay?
Send the amount by GCash, Maya, MariBank or BDO (or scan the QR code on the payment page), then upload a screenshot of your receipt. Your course unlocks as soon as Edz confirms the payment, usually within 24 hours.
How long do I keep access?
For life, including lessons added later.
What if it isn't for me?
You can ask for a full refund within 7 days of enrolling, as long as you have completed less than 20% of the lessons.
