This course combines the best of both worlds, we start your online learning through the beauty guild portal then once that is complete you begin the SQA Facial therapy treatment techniques course at SCQF Level 7. This is a flexible learning course with a minimum of 4 days attendance depending on your experience and qualifications. We recommend the course is done over 8 day sessions treating clients to cover all aspects of the qualification.
