IS THIS YOU?
Wherever you're starting from, this course meets you there.
You do not need an existing qualification to train with me. This course is built to take complete beginners all the way to a recognised facial therapy qualification - and to give practising therapists a well-loved treatment to add to their menu.
You're starting from scratch
You've never trained as a therapist before, and that's absolutely fine. The online theory takes you right from the beginning - skin science, consultation, hygiene and safe practice - so you arrive at your practical day ready to work, not guessing.
- No prior therapy qualification needed
- Theory builds your knowledge from zero
- Small, supportive practical day with plenty of guidance
- Thinking of launching your own therapy business? Optional guidance and business mentoring is available too
- Want more practice after you qualify? Additional case studies are available on request, purely optional, to help build your confidence
You already hold a therapy qualification
If you're already qualified in massage, reflexology or another complementary therapy, this course adds a genuinely popular treatment to what you can offer - with the client-handling groundwork you already have.
- Add facials to your existing treatment menu
- Builds on skills you already have
- Optional business mentoring to help you introduce it to clients
ALREADY QUALIFIED?
Refresher training day for qualified therapists.
If you're already holding a recognised facial or complementary therapy qualification but it's been a while since you last practised, my refresher day brings your technique back up to speed in a single, focused session - without paying for the full course again.
A lower-priced option tailored to what you already know: we review your current skills, refine your technique, and rebuild your confidence so you can take clients again the same week.
Book once. Everything else is taken care of.
You buy the course, and from there it's all handled for you — enrolment, theory access, and your practical day, arranged around your own pace.
Everything is included in the price you pay at checkout — theory, your practical day, the facial products kit you use and take home, your certificate, and (if you add it) the Gua Sha tool. The only decision to make is whether to add Gua Sha training. There's nothing else to pay for along the way.
Book your course
One purchase covers everything — if you've added Gua Sha, that's included too.
Enrolled within 24 hours
I'll enrol you onto the theory programme within 24 hours of booking, with a support call or message from me to get you started. If you've booked the bundle, this includes both the facial theory and the Gua Sha theory.
Work through your theory at your own pace
Start with the Professional Standards module, then the rest of the theory. When you're ready for your practical day, just let me know — we'll talk through timing and find a date that suits you.
In a hurry? We can move faster.
If you need to qualify quickly, tell me and we'll look at accelerating your theory so you can get to your practical day sooner. Every student is looked after individually — this isn't a fixed timetable.
Your practical day
A full day of hands-on training in Nuneaton, working on three different clients (provided for you) so your assessment covers the full range of skin types and consultation scenarios. Cohorts are capped at four students, so it's genuinely small — book with others or entirely on your own, at no extra cost. Add Gua Sha and it becomes 1.5 days, with continual assessment throughout.
Your GTI certificate — within 7 working days
Your Beauty Guild-recognised facial therapy qualification, ready to insure and start working with.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Before you book.
Do I need any prior qualifications or experience?
No — this course is open to complete beginners. The online theory takes you from the very beginning, so you arrive at your practical day fully prepared.
I'm already a qualified therapist - is this still for me?
Yes. This course is popular with therapists who already hold a massage or reflexology qualification and want to add facials to their treatment menu. Your existing client-handling experience will serve you well.
What happens after I book?
You'll receive instant access to your online theory within 24 hours. Lindsey will be in touch to welcome you and discuss dates for your practical training day in Nuneaton.
Can I train faster if I'm in a hurry?
Yes. If you work through your theory quickly, get in touch and we can look at bringing your practical day forward, subject to availability.
Is Gua Sha part of the facial training, or separate?
Gua Sha is available as an optional add-on or a standalone workshop. If booked alongside facial training, it extends your practical training and gives you a combined certificate.
Is there a solo, 1:1 practical day option?
Yes, 1:1 training is available on request if you prefer individual tuition rather than a small group of four.
Do I need to bring my own models for the practical day?
No, models are provided for you so you can focus entirely on your hands-on practice, consultation, and technique.
How long does it take to get my certificate?
Your GTi accredited certificate is issued within 7 working days following successful completion of both your theory modules and practical training day.
