Why take Online Facial & Skincare Course

Our ✨ BRAND NEW ✨ Online Facial & Skincare course is comprehensive, engaging and it’s everything you’d want in an online facial & skincare course, and more.

Learn from the Best

With over 70 years of experience in training world-class facial specialists, our Academy is uniquely qualified to condense the renowned in-person VTCT Level 2 Award into an accessible virtual curriculum.

More than just an introduction to facials, this course offers our unparalleled expertise that generations of students have come to trust. Our expert tutors break down fundamental techniques, essential knowledge, and best practices refined over decades of real-world experience in our latest and most innovative online learning platform.

Why Our Course Stands Out?

  • Flexible and Convenient: This course is accessible anytime, anywhere. All you need is an internet connection.
  • Comprehensive Content: Covers every aspect of facial treatments, from health and safety to client communication and career advice.
  • Hands-on Learning: We are not just about theory. It offers practical demonstrations and activities to give you a hands-on experience.
  • Insurable in the UK: This course is accredited by ABT. Have the confidence that your certificate is approved, validated and insurable at the UK’s leading membership and insurance provider.

While online courses may seem comparable on the surface, none match the substance of our curriculum or the reputation of our Academy. Our commitment to excellence and emphasis on practical skills produces facial specialists ready for rewarding careers.

The journey of skincare is personal and unique to each individual. With our course, we aim to empower you with the knowledge and skills to make this journey a fruitful one. Whether you want to enhance your personal skincare routine or aspire to become a professional skincare therapist, our course is the perfect stepping stone.
