We have carried out VTCT facial training for many years and have been frustrated at the amount of time we have to spend on the theory, assignments, A&P and exams. Much of this theory was repeated many times and irrelevant, the electrical machines and techniques we are required to teach are also outdated in the current beauty industry which is turning towards the aesthetic market.

You will only learn what is relevant to carry out commercially viable facials that give great results, work with up to date facial machines, cosmeceutical products and advanced techniques. Our training focus is on the quality of treatment delivered; equipping the therapist with knowledge and expertise to enable them to confidently prescribe facials to their clients and give great results to ensure their clients keep coming back for more.
