This Facials and Microdermabrasion QLS Level 2 course will be assessed through a series of written assignments, which will be sent and marked by your tutor. If you add on the practical day, your coursework must be completed before you can proceed onto your two days of practical training.

You may start at any time and have up to 1 year to complete your studies. This is more than enough time to give you flexibility and work at your own pace without the pressure of deadlines.

The Facials and Microdermabrasion QLS Level 2 course is designed for study by distance learning at home or at work. You will receive your course by post or e-mail and you will also need to attend a two days practical training. You choose out of a variety of centres throughout the UK where you would like to take your practical days.
Please note, if you add on the practical day, the 2 practical days will be split rather than taking place over 2 consecutive days to minimise the impact on working and family life. This also enables you to choose when and where the practicals take place.

At the end of this course, successful learners will receive two Certificates of Achievement from the Quality License Scheme and a Learner Unit Summary (which lists the components the learner has completed as part of the course).
If you add on the practical days, you will also receive a Salon Services Certificate. You can also benefit from being affiliated with Professional Beauty and Professional Beauty Direct Insurance.
