I am a beauty therapist can I attend this course?
Sorry due to insurance protocols and the problem of beauty therapy being an unregulated qualification, we are unable to facilitate training for beauty therapists.

No, we provide all models for the practical component of the course. If you do wish to bring along a model, please let us know at the time of enrolment.
