ExploreFind the right training
Most learners arrive with one of these four goals. Choose yours and we'll match it to the right course type, study style and level of support.
New to beauty, or changing direction. You want a solid foundation and a qualification that opens doors rather than a single standalone skill.
You're working already and want to add a treatment or technique to your menu without stepping away from your clients for long.
An employer, insurer or next step is asking for a professional qualification. We'll talk you through the VTCT/ITEC options and what each is suited for.
Prior experience, an overseas certificate or years in practice without paperwork. Ask about an initial assessment or recognition of prior learning.
How you'll study
Every course states clearly which applies, so you know before you enrol whether attendance is needed.
Complete the whole course remotely. Theory is delivered through video, diagrams and images, with activities you can revisit and tutor feedback on submitted work.
Online theory plus in-house practical attendance. You build knowledge at home, then come in to develop and be assessed on hands-on technique.
Online learning · study from anywhere
Theory modules, video demonstrations, and workbooks accessed through the online portal — complete at your own pace before your practical day.
Real training at AuraLuxe Academy
Online courses are delivered through guided video demonstrations and structured workbooks, so you arrive at your practical day with the theory in place and ready to work on models. The same modules underpin the blended pathway — the difference is how much of the learning happens remotely versus in person.
Blended learning · practical day
Facial protocols practised on real models, with feedback as you work.
Skill refreshers · technique
Brow and waxing technique corrected hands-on, not just watched on video.

Real learners, real outcomes

Quality you can see
Every qualification is backed by internal quality assurance — your practical work is verified by our IQA before any certificate is issued. That's the standard whether you're studying fully online, blended, or one to one.
1:1 mentoring
Mentoring and skill refreshers are delivered one to one, at your pace — ideal if you're returning to work, holding overseas certificates, or want a specific technique signed off with confidence.

A quiet word on certificates
They serve different purposes. Knowing which one you need saves time and money.
You receive an AuraLuxe certificate carrying ABT accreditation. These courses are intended to support insurance eligibility — acceptance always rests with your own insurer and the country you intend to work in, so please confirm before booking.
Awarding-body qualifications suited to career progression, further and advanced study, and wider-recognition pathways. We don't make claims about international recognition — verify anything you need directly with the relevant body.
Insurance and recognition requirements vary by insurer, country and treatment. Please check your own requirements with your insurer and the relevant awarding or regulatory body before enrolling — and ask us if you'd like help understanding the options.

A short message is enough. We'd rather help you start in the right place than have you enrol in something that doesn't fit.
