What this course is - and what it is not

This is online theory training with a certificate on completion. It does not include supervised practical training or hands-on assessment. These online theory courses are knowledge-based only. They are designed for qualified professionals with relevant prior training and/or industry experience, and may be suitable as refresher training or to widen theoretical understanding. They do not replace practical onsite training and do not automatically provide insurance eligibility. Check your insurer's requirements before treating clients.

Who is this online training for?

Beauty and aesthetics professionals adding this service, practitioners refreshing their knowledge, and learners preparing for hands-on training who want the theory first.

The course covers key theory around needle depth awareness, skin barrier disruption, erythema expectations, contraindications, consultation, aftercare and treatment planning.

Do I need previous experience?

There are no formal entry requirements for the online theory. It is easiest with some prior beauty, skin or aesthetics knowledge, and admissions can advise if you are unsure where to start.

Do I receive a certificate?

Yes - your certificate is issued on completion, usually the same day you finish the course.

How do I access the training?

Checkout takes a couple of minutes and your login details are emailed straight after purchase, so you can start the same day.

Can I speak to someone before I buy?

Yes. Request a callback or speak to admissions if you want help choosing between online theory, VTCT study and hands-on training.
