Practical Training

We ask that you provide models for training however, there is no waiting area so they would need to travel to the academy independently. We can provide models for your practical sessions, however, we must be notified in advance. Failure to do so may result in not enough models available for you to work on. Students will be very carefully observed and continuously assessed to make sure they reach the required standard and are competent to work independently or within a clinic.

​

You will need to bring your own model/s for your assessment day.

​

You will be required to provide 2 case studies and 1 top up. These will need to be submitted and signed off with complete consultation forms and before and after photographs before you can attend your assessment day. You will be given a Certificate of Attendance at the end of the 2 days.
