Plug-and-Teach: How MPE® Makes PMU and SMP Training Easier, Smarter, and More Scalable

Creating a training program from scratch sounds noble—until you’re buried in lesson plans, fumbling through enrollment documents, and second-guessing every decision. That’s where Micropigmentation Educators® (MPE) steps in. We offer a licensed, plug-and-teach curriculum for PMU and SMP trainers who want to teach with excellence, without the guesswork.

Because great educators deserve better tools.


Save Time Without Cutting Corners

Let’s face it—developing quality education takes time. From designing PowerPoints to drafting assessments and formatting workbooks, the admin work alone can be overwhelming. For many PMU and SMP trainers, this often leads to cutting corners—or worse, never launching a training program at all.

MPE® provides a done-for-you framework that’s already been vetted, tested, and optimized for real-world success.

Included in your MPE® partnership:

  • Pre-built lesson plans and instructor guides

  • Online student portal and private URL

  • Homework assignments, quizzes, and final exams

  • Branded graphics and editable sales templates

  • Printed or digital textbooks and workbooks

Everything is customizable to your studio—without the struggle of starting from zero.


Teach With Confidence in Any Setting

Whether you prefer intimate studio sessions, multi-student bootcamps, or virtual masterclasses, MPE® equips you to deliver your program with confidence and consistency.

No more ad-libbing lessons. No more inconsistent student outcomes. No more imposter syndrome. You’ll walk into every class with structured content that’s built for adult learning and aligned with national standards.

Our tools help you:

  • Stay on track during class

  • Monitor student performance with clarity

  • Ensure consistent outcomes for every trainee

  • Maintain quality across hybrid or online formats

When you’re not scrambling to prepare, you can focus on what really matters—coaching, mentoring, and leading.


Scale Without Sacrificing Integrity

Most PMU and SMP trainers plateau after a few successful classes because they lack scalable systems. With MPE®, you can break that ceiling.

Our business-in-a-box model supports:

  • Recurring course offerings with clear pricing and payment tools

  • Marketing assets and copy templates to attract more students

  • Built-in structure that allows you to add team members or assistants

  • Support systems so you’re never teaching in isolation

You’re not just a solo trainer anymore. You’re running a professional education arm backed by a national brand.


Growth Isn’t About Hustle. It’s About Systems.

MPE® wasn’t designed for artists who want to “wing it.” It was created for serious educators who understand that structure builds trust—and trust builds growth.

With our support, you’ll spend less time trying to figure out what to teach and more time becoming the go-to educator your community (and the industry) respects.
