PATHWAYS TO AESTHETICS COURSE GUIDE 2021

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.
