3. How will I be assessed?

We combine both practical and theoretical assessments so that you will be completely confident and competent when performing treatments. Instead of the pressure of attending a traditional assessment centre you can progress at your own pace, revisit study materials and submit work when you’re ready.

You can expect to complete module quizzes and to submit video demonstrations of your practical technique. Rest assured, our friendly tutors will always be on hand to offer you any guidance or feedback that you may need.

4. How can the qualifications help my career and business?

Crucially, your certification will be accredited by The Guild of Beauty Therapists and the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM), allowing you to obtain insurance and immediately employ your skills. As a result, you can expand your treatment menu by building upon your existing expertise or by diversifying into new areas such as skincare, massage, tanning and eye area treatments.

Qualifications really are one of the most significant steps towards increasing earning potential and enabling career progression. With this in mind, we’re launching with a selection of courses that will offer day one revenue opportunities.
