SKIN COLLEGE L2 – L7 AESTHETIC PATHWAY

STARTING THE PATHWAY: If you are commencing your journey into ‘Aesthetics’ and do not wish to undertake a traditional Beauty Therapy route we have an ‘Aesthetic Pathway’ starting at level 2, with the option to progress (in certain modalities) to level 7, which is structured to enable progression (with mandatory elements we call ‘pre - requisites’) at each level, with added ‘optional’ modalities along the way that we believe may enhance your knowledge and expertise.

If you do not require an Ofqual regulated qualification, you may purchase any of our theory courses (50% discount) & practical course (25% discount) - you will receive a Skin College CPD Certificate of Completion.

IF YOU HAVE MANUFACTURER, SUPPLIER AND/OR CPD CERTIFICATES: If you have undertaken Manufacturer, Supplier and/or CPD training, have the required pre- requisites, and wish to ‘upgrade’ your skills to an Ofqual qualification, then our recognition of prior learning (RPL) route will ‘fill the gaps’ in any of your knowledge and/or practical sk ills to enable us to formally assess and verify your competency.

IF YOU HAVE ‘OFQUAL’ QUALIFICATIONS AND ARE READY TO PROGRESS TO A HIGHER LEVEL: If you are already on your journey and can evidence your Ofqual qualifications of prior learning you will be able to enter at the level most appropriate to your verified competency.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Our Pathway is designed for those who truly wish to gain superior amounts of knowledge and competency in Aesthetics – studying with us will take considerable time, we make no apologies for this; it will not be easy! If you are new to the industry and are looking to fast-track, we would not be the right fit for you, as our courses involve comprehensive study, assessment, and dedication of time and commitment.
