Some Spas and Salons will now accept these certificates as well.

If you are unsure about which course to start with or if it’s suitable for you drop us a message and we will be happy to advise which course of right for you

This depends on the course and if you reach the required standard to pass.  Some of our courses require case studies that need to be completed prior to certification. We will advise this on booking.

We may ask you to perform the treatment at home on a friend or family member and send us some photos of your completed work, or sometimes a video of you carrying out the treatment.

The majority of our practical courses require students to provide a suitable model. We will always let you know in advance if a model is required for the course you are booking.

It is the student’s responsibility to arrange their model and ensure they are available on the day of training.

If you are struggling to find someone, please let us know with as much notice as possible. We are usually happy to help and will do our best to arrange a model for you.

Please be aware that any model we arrange attends voluntarily, so although we will make every effort to ensure they attend, we cannot be held responsible if a model cancels or does not attend on the day.

Jade is incredible. The massage course exceeded expectations and I feel like I’ve learned so much and been fully supported along the process. Thank you so much! Would absolutely recommend taking this course if you’re looking to move into massage therapy. You will learn so much and have fun along the way!

I have just completed two waxing modules with Jade. Training is clear and concise, with plenty of hands on learning. I have left feeling confident to now go ahead and offer this as a new treatment in my salon!

Excellent communication prior to the course, equipped with the manual in plenty of time. The course itself only had a few people which really helped my nerves, and allowed us to get plenty of time with the tutor. Tash was extremely patient and explained everything fully. Made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in.

Done my first course here today, and can't recommend this training school, and Jade especially enough. The course was so relaxed and everything was explained perfectly, felt at ease asking questions and Jade was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Very knowledgeable tutor, and definitely knew her stuff. Explained everything in detail and even in the lead up to the day was on the ball with emails etc so I felt confident going Wouldn't hesitate to book another course here in future 5 stars from me
