On the day of your training
After the initial introductions the session will start by recapping the online theory knowledge followed by some more theory regarding the treatment process. Once this theory is completed you will carry out a treatment on someone in the class. To prepare for this it is beneficial to watch/re-watch the demonstration provided on this online platform. If this it will be your first time doing a treatment on someone you will be supported but you can practice some steps at home like doing a basic cleanse routine and applying moisturiser.
There are additional products that you may wish to purchase from our student retail cabinet to enhance your starter kit. These can be purchased during your training and taken away with you on the day.
Once the course has been completed successfully you will be emailed your certificate.
