regulated qualifications with dermalogica
CIBTAC-endorsed qualifications: level 4 and level 5 upskill
upskill in chemical peels and microneedling
We are proud to offer two CIBTAC-endorsed Level 4 qualifications and two CIBTAC-endorsed Level 5 qualifications to Dermalogica Partners to support your continued professional development and advance your treatment options.
With the rapid growth in non-surgical cosmetic procedures there is increased pressure for formal licensing and regulation and greater demand for nationally recognised competency frameworks.
The CIBTAC-Endorsed Level 4 and Level 5 Microneeding and CIBTAC-Endorsed Level 4 and Level 5 Skin Peeling qualifications allow you to confidently and credibly conduct these treatments to the highest standards.
“I thought the course was fantastic. The level of support I received was huge and invaluable. The level 4 microneedling qualification was difficult, but I felt supported throughout the whole 12 weeks and am so proud to have completed and passed the course”
Kristen Lucas,
“This course has provided me with extra in-depth knowledge to really understand and be able to share with clients exactly how microneedling works to provide a superior treatment. It has also really enabled me to provide a very thorough consultation with more structure than I would have previously used. Highly worthwhile and would recommend.”
Rosemary McPherson
“My knowledge and confidence has improved tenfold and this has massively impacted my business. I now feel really comfortable and confident offering advanced services to my clients, and they are really impressed with my level of knowledge about the skin. Consequently this has created a huge revenue increase to my business, and I am an Elite Platinum Partner which I’m hugely proud of.”
