Questions
Asked often
I trained somewhere else. Can I join without Professional Facials?
Yes, if your previous training is equivalent. Mention it in your application and the academy will talk it through with you when they call.
Do I pay anything when I apply?
No. The application is free and nothing is charged online. The academy calls you first; your place is held once the deposit is paid.
The intake I want is full. Should I still apply?
Yes. A full intake stays open to applications as a waiting list. Places do come free, and a place that does can be offered to someone on it.
Can a parent, relative or employer pay the fees?
Yes. Payments are recorded against the student’s place whoever makes them, with the payer’s name on the receipt.
What does it take to earn the certificate?
Three things, all of them written down per course: the minimum attendance, a final grade at or above the pass mark with every assessment marked, and the fees cleared. Each course page shows its exact requirements.
What if I am ill and miss a class?
Tell the academy. An absence recorded as excused is taken out of the attendance calculation entirely, rather than counted against you.
I am under 18. Can I apply?
Yes — or a parent or guardian can apply for you. Before enrolment the academy needs your date of birth and a parent or guardian’s details and consent.
