SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE FOR SKIN HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND AESTHETIC PRACTITIONERS

WELCOME Skin Group International (SGI) have created a suite of courses in specialist areas of practice, including Laser and Light therapies, Skin Rejuvenation Procedures, Body Contouring, Semi Permanent & Paramedical Pigmentation, Advanced Skin Studies & Aesthetic Practice, among many others. Our qualifications and professional development courses in aesthetic practice incorporate an unprecedented level of study in skin science, skin health management, cosmetic dermatology and remedial skin treatment. OFQUAL ACCREDITED They are accredited by OFQUAL and aligned to the qualification standards established by the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) in preparation for industry regulation, whilst equally being aligned to the procedural protocols of the Cosmetic Practice Standards Authority (CPSA).

OUR VISION This course guide focuses on our qualifications in Advanced Skin Studies & Aesthetic Practice, developed as a result of the evolution of a separate sector within the industry – that of Aesthetic Practice and the Medispa. With the rapid growth in the industry over recent years, SGI identified a need for robust education and training. To provide this, we secured the services of experienced subject experts and acquired intellectual property through targeted acquisitions. SGI acquired The Sally Durant brand in 2019 to enable us to continue to respond to emerging trends, both for those already working in the sector, and for individuals who may wish to enter the sector from a non-traditional beauty therapy or medical background. Sally developed the level 4 qualifications in this sector and has been commissioned by SGI to undertake the development of Level 5 & 6. Thus, our vision is that our courses will enable you to stand out in this competitive specialist field as the best of the best. METHOD OF LEARNING These courses are modular in nature with a flexible, blended learning approach for ease of access by busy working professionals looking for progressive postgraduate training. Our audio-visual e-learning programmes ensure that you can tailor your studies around your work, family and social commitments while still enjoying hands on practical training. Equally, you can build your qualifications gradually in line with your needs and budget.

QUALIFICATION CATEGORIES In line with OFQUAL guidelines, our qualifications are categorised as Awards, Certificates or Diplomas, depending on the size of the course: ● Awards 1 – 12 Credits (10 – 120 hours) ● Certificates 13 – 36 Credits (130 – 360 hours) ● Diplomas 37 + Credits (370 + hours)
