What is Recognised by ILM?

Recognised by ILM is a professional recognition programme from International Lash Masters for lash artists, brow artists and educators who demonstrate the qualifications, experience and professional standards required for their chosen recognition pathway.

Your application and supporting evidence are individually reviewed against ILM's recognition criteria before recognition is granted.

What happens after I purchase?

Immediately after purchase, you'll receive a digital information pack containing a link to your relevant online application form.

Complete the application and upload the requested supporting evidence. Once your complete application has been received, ILM will begin the review process.

Does purchasing guarantee I will be recognised?

No. Recognition cannot simply be purchased.

Your payment covers your application, assessment and, if approved, your 12-month recognition and associated benefits.

All applicants must meet the relevant ILM recognition criteria before Recognised by ILM status is granted.

What evidence do I need to supply?

Evidence requirements vary depending on whether you are applying for Artist, Educator or Master Recognition.

Depending on your pathway, you may be asked to provide evidence such as professional qualifications, portfolio work, industry experience, insurance, training materials, student outcomes and other supporting documentation.

Your application form will clearly outline everything required for your chosen pathway.

How long will I be recognised for?

Your Recognised by ILM status is valid for 12 months from approval.

To continue using your Recognised by ILM status, seal and associated benefits after this period, your recognition will need to be renewed.

What do I receive if I'm approved?

Successful applicants receive their relevant Recognised by ILM digital seal and certificate, along with digital assets that can be used to communicate their recognised status across their website, social media and professional marketing.

Selected recognition pathways also include a premium printed certificate and enhanced directory benefits. Please refer to the inclusions listed on this product page for the benefits specific to your pathway.

Is there a renewal fee and process?

Yes. Recognised by ILM status is valid for 12 months from the date of approval. To maintain your recognition, you’ll be invited to renew annually at the applicable renewal fee.

The renewal process is simpler than the initial application and is designed to confirm that you continue to meet ILM’s professional standards. You may be asked to update key information such as your insurance, professional practice and any relevant changes to your qualifications or services.

If you choose not to renew, your Recognised by ILM status will expire. You will no longer be listed as currently recognised in the ILM Directory, your community access and member benefits will end, and you must discontinue use of the Recognised by ILM seal and any materials that represent you as currently recognised.

You’re welcome to apply for recognition again in the future.

PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION

MORE THAN A BADGE.

Recognised by ILM is a professional recognition programme created by International Lash Masters to recognise lash artists, brow artists and educators who demonstrate strong professional standards within their work.

Applicants provide evidence of their qualifications, experience and professional practice, which is reviewed against ILM's recognition criteria. Successful applicants receive Recognised by ILM status for 12 months, along with the relevant recognition assets and professional benefits.

A qualification shows where you started. Recognition shows the professional you've become.
