Flexible blended learning (mostly online theory + practical clinic day/s) with full tutor support, portfolio build and progression routes to Level 4, Level 5 and Level 7.
This Ofqual-recognised qualification is designed for absolute beginners who want a credible route into aesthetic practice without a prior beauty or medical background. You’ll cover core topics such as skin science, health & safety, client care, professionalism and the foundations for advanced study.
Our training also focuses on skin health and rejuvenation — helping you understand how to create visibly radiant, smooth and glowing complexions for your future clients. Learn the foundations behind achieving that luminous “glass-skin” effect through professional techniques and product knowledge.
