Before you book
A path through skin training

Why skin science matters
Understanding how the skin barrier works helps you choose the right treatment, product and timing for each client. Courses in corneotherapy and one to one mentoring support that thinking, whatever treatments you offer.
Online and in person
Practical treatments such as needling, peels and dermaplaning are taught face to face. Skin science and mentoring can suit more flexible formats, so check each listing.
Before you choose
- Check you hold the entry level needed for advanced courses.
- Ask whether products and equipment are included.
- Find out how case studies and assessment work.
- Confirm your insurer covers each new treatment.
Your questions, answered
Where should I start with skin training?
A Level 2 course, such as the VTCT Level 2 Award in Facial Massage and Skincare, gives you the foundation for every later skin treatment.
Do I need Level 2 before Level 4 skin courses?
Advanced skin courses usually expect an earlier beauty qualification. Check the entry requirements for each course.
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning uses a fine blade to gently remove dead skin cells and soft facial hair, leaving the skin smooth. It is taught here at Level 4.
What does a skin mentor do?
A mentor works with you one to one on your skin knowledge, client cases and treatment planning, helping you grow with confidence.
Are skin courses accredited?
Several courses here are VTCT qualifications, and the corneotherapy course is Habia endorsed CPD. Each listing shows the details.
Where can I compare microneedling and peel courses?
See our Microneedling and Chemical Peel Courses page for every option in one place.
