Fast Track Course Description
This Facial Treatments Beauty Therapy Award can be studied either as a solo course (just yourself) or bespoke course (with friends, family or colleagues). We also offer Professional Salon Training for staff members either at your own premisis or at one of our many Academies.
Performing a facial treatment is an opportunity for you to give your client a relaxing and enjoyable treatment designed to improve and rejuvenate their skin.
This course will teach you everything you need to know about offering a professional facial and includes a practical training session and assessment.
The GTi Facial Treatment course follows the National Occupational Standards and covers reception, consultation and ventilation.
