  • Will I be able to get insured and charge for the beauty treatment after my practical training day?

    Yes. All of our diploma courses are fully accredited by ABT and IPHM. To successfully pass your course, you must complete the online study and attend your practical training day. At the end of your practical training, your tutor will assess your work and provide feedback. Once you pass, you will receive an accredited certificate of completion, allowing you to obtain professional insurance and begin offering treatments to paying clients. If for any reason you do not meet the required standard on the day, you will be invited to attend another practical training session free of charge.

  • How long will it take to complete the online part of the beauty course I have enrolled on?

    Depending on the course you choose, the online learning consists of approximately 3 to 5 hours of structured theory content. This must be completed before attending your practical training day. You will retain access to your online learning portal for 12 months after completing your course, allowing you to revisit the material at any time.

  • Are there any case studies needed?

    No. You are not required to complete case studies to pass our courses. To gain your accredited certificate, you must complete the online learning and attend your practical training day. Your tutor will assess your practical performance on the day and provide feedback. If required, you will be invited back for further training at no extra cost.

  • Do I need to bring any products or equipment with me for the practical training day?

    No. Everything you need for your practical training day is provided for you. This includes all professional products, tools and materials required for your course. You do not need to bring anything with you.

  • Are our beauty courses online or in person?

    Our courses follow a hybrid learning model. You will complete your online theory study through your personal learning portal before attending your in-person practical training day at our London venue. The online study must be completed prior to your practical session. You will have access to your online learning for 12 months.

  • Can I bring a model to work on?

    No. Due to usually having full classes, students practice on each other during the practical training day. This allows every learner to both receive and perform the treatment under tutor supervision.

  • What is the difference between the Classic Lash, Hybrid Lash and Russian Lash courses?

    The Classic Eyelash Extension Course teaches one-to-one lash application, where one individual extension is applied to one natural lash. This creates a natural, defined finish. The Hybrid Eyelash Extension Course includes everything taught in the Classic course, plus the application of pre-made Russian Volume fans. This allows you to combine classic lashes with volume fans to create fuller, textured hybrid sets. You will not be trained to make handmade fans on this course. To enrol on our Handmade Russian Volume course, you must have held a Classic or Hybrid accredited certificate for at least three months. This ensures you have sufficient experience with isolation, placement and lash control before progressing to advanced volume techniques.

  • Do I need any experience to enrol on any of the courses?

    The only course that requires previous experience is the Russian Volume Accredited Diploma. You must have at least three months experience with Classic Lashes to enrol. All of our other accredited diploma courses are suitable for complete beginners.
