This course is structured over one day and runs from 10am – 4pm. We ask students to arrive at 9.45am to ensure a prompt start. You will learn the theory of the treatment firstly, and spend the majority of the day practising your practical skills, with a short break for lunch. You will give and receive treatments as part of the course and must be prepared to remove your make-up during the course. 

We do not include any kits within our training courses, however we provide all products and tools required to complete the practical training on the day, at the training centre for you to use. We took this approach following student feedback so that students are not tied into specific kits or brands of products as part of their course fee, before they are trained and able to make an informed choice. Our training courses teach the generic treatment techniques and processes, they are not brand specific.

We recommend attending training where you will gain advice about different brands and suppliers to enable you to purchase products from your chosen supplier directly following your training. We do offer selected starter kits available to purchase through our website & supplied directly from the supplier to you by courier.

Facial skincare treatments are hugely popular with a diverse range of clients, all looking to improve the condition and appearance of their skin. This course will teach you the essential skills to offer an Express Facial skincare treatment to your clients to cover the key techniques to deliver a therapeutic treatment to bring an improvement in the appearance and condition of the skin. Following the course, you will be able to provide a professional Express facial skincare treatment working from home and mobile. It is also an ideal course to quickly learn new skills or refresh your knowledge of facial treatments for existing therapists.

Our diploma courses are suitable for complete beginners and do not require any prior learning to be able to train with us; many of our students are not yet beauty trained and are looking to start up a business in the industry. We welcome students of all abilities, whether you are looking to learn a new skill from scratch or currently working as a therapist and looking to refresh your knowledge of particular treatments.

Please note you will be required to give and receive treatments as part of the course and therefore will need to remove your make-up during the course. Students must not have undergone cosmetic procedures including skin fillers within the 12 weeks prior to the course.

All products and tools are provided for the training day at the centre when you attend. No kit is required to complete the training day, nor included in the course fee. On the training day, you only need to bring a hand and bath towel for your personal use, completed enrolment form and cold food for your lunch (e.g. sandwich/salad). Tea & coffee are provided on the day.
