ABOUT OUR TRAINING
I have worked in the industry now for over 20 years and worked in education for the last 10. I still have a client base and offer treatments as well as training and am constantly on training courses myself as I feel we can always learn more!
A few years back, I realised that most skincare training courses were just teaching a specific skincare treatment... dermaplaning, chemical peels, microneedling, or something else.
The big problem here is that the students attending those courses aren't necessarily being taught how to actually solve people's skincare problems. They are simply being taught how to deliver that treatment, regardless of the client's specific facial problems.
The students would leave the training qualified in that specific treatment - but without a deep understanding of the skin, the different underlying skin problems people can have, & which other treatments might better suit that person's problems... the students can actually cause more damage than good to their clients face.
