Step into the world of professional skincare with our BRAND NEW Online Facial and skincare course. The course is designed to provide learners with comprehensive knowledge and practical expertise from the comfort of their homes! Whether they’re looking to enhance their skincare routine or become a certified skincare therapist, this course is the perfect starting point.

Backed by over 70 years of excellence and experience, our beauty and aesthetic academy has decided to offer our renowned Level 2 curriculum through an innovative online platform. Students can learn at their own pace, with access to expert-led video tutorials, detailed demonstrations and interactive activities that bring practical skills to life.

Key areas of study include:

• Health and Safety for Facial Treatments: safe, hygienic practice, infection control, waste disposal, PPE and emergency procedures.

• Client Care and Consultation: professional consultations, privacy, record‑keeping, handling feedback, and guiding clients.

• Facial Skin Care Theory: skin analysis, skin types and conditions, contraindications, skincare products and equipment, aftercare.

• Facial Treatment Demonstration Videos: real‑world demonstrations illustrating the treatment flow from prep to aftercare.

Fully accredited by ABT, this course equips graduates with a certificate recognised and insurable in the UK, empowering them to start their professional journey confidently. However, if you want to gain a full qualification and can attend our course in person, you should consider our VTCT Level 2 Facial Course instead.

BONUS LESSON: Anatomy & Physiology Extension Learning

We have included a series of anatomy and physiology resources from Level 3 A&P training, including the skin, muscles and bones, and the cardiovascular system, at no additional cost.

At Ray Cochrane, we highly recommend that students develop strong and extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology, because facial and skincare treatments are closely connected to the wider body. The face and skin are not separate from the body; they are part of the body’s systems, structures and functions. This bonus lesson will help our learners build a deeper understanding of how the skin, muscles, bones, blood circulation and body systems relate to facial treatments.
