Exciting Update: Expanding our Level 2 and 3 Facial and Skincare Course Curriculum

ray cochrane school update

At Ray Cochrane Beauty Aesthetic Academy, we are committed to providing our students with the best and most relevant training possible to help them excel in their careers.

We’re always adapting to meet your needs and stay ahead of industry trends, ensuring your education is always relevant and up-to-date.

In line with this, we are thrilled to announce a significant update to two of our most popular courses – the VTCT Level 2 and 3 Combined Facial and Skincare course and the VTCT Level 3 Facial Electricals Course. To both of these facial courses, we’ve added the Anatomical and Physiological Knowledge Of Body Systems as part of the Level 3 Anatomy & Physiology Award at no extra cost, enhancing the learning experience and providing even greater value to our students!


Why Does The Course Upgrade Matters?

Previously, our facial courses focused primarily on facial anatomy and physiology. However, in response to your feedback and the evolving industry, we’ve expanded the curriculum to cover full-body anatomy and physiology. This upgrade ensures students on these courses get the most comprehensive education on how the body works, making your investment in your future even more valuable.

This in-depth knowledge will be particularly beneficial for those who wish to progress to advanced treatments like the Level 4 Laser and IPL courses, which involve using laser and IPL technology on the entire body, not just the face. Clients use treatments such as Laser and Microneedling to treat skin concerns such as discolouration and stretch marks all over the body.

We genuinely believe that this upgrade will better equip our students for the future, opening up new opportunities for career progression and enhancing their ability to provide holistic skincare treatments.


What’s New in the Upgraded Courses?

With the integration of the Level 3 Anatomy & Physiology Award, students will now gain:

  • VTCT Level 3 Facial Electrotherapy Award: 

    This part of the course will continue to cover advanced facial treatments, including the use of electrical therapy machines for skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing treatments.

  • VTCT Level 3 Anatomy & Physiology Award:

    This new addition provides a thorough understanding of critical body systems, their structures, and functions. Understanding the body holistically ensures that students can offer comprehensive skincare solutions.

  • OFQUAL-Regulated Certification: 

    Our courses are regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (OFQUAL), ensuring that the standards of your education are recognised nationally and internationally.

  • Seamless Progression:

    After completing the course, students will be well-prepared to move on to Level 4 courses, including the Laser and IPL qualifications, which focus on advanced, full-body treatments.

Student Review:

“I made my level 3 beauty therapy in this school and I was very pleased with our teacher Korrin. She was very open to give a lot of knowledge, very diplomatic and patient, caring and attentive. The school location is very convenient, the course was informative and I enjoyed Sunday attendance as it allowed me to work during the week. The interior rooms are quiet simple but they had everything needed for the course.”
