What should I wear to the training course? +

We recommend professional salon-style clothing or comfortable black clothing suitable for practical treatments. Please also bring flat comfortable shoes, tie back long hair, wear minimal jewellery, and bring a notepad and pen. Clothing should allow ease of movement for practical sessions.

Do I need to bring a model? +

For many practical courses, learners work with each other during the training day. For some courses a model may be required for a specific assessment. If so, this will be clearly stated in your booking confirmation or course information email.

Do you provide equipment and products? +

Yes. All professional products, equipment, and materials needed for the training day are provided by the academy. You do not need to bring your own kit unless specifically advised in advance.

How long does the course take? +

Duration varies depending on the programme. Some courses complete in one or two days, while others run over several weeks or months. Full details are provided on each individual course page.

Can I take a course as a refresher if already qualified? +

Yes. Many learners attend for CPD or to refresh skills, learn new techniques, or regain confidence. Our courses are suitable for both qualified therapists expanding their services and those wishing to refresh existing knowledge.

Who are the courses suitable for? +

Our courses are suitable for:

  • Beginners entering the beauty or holistic therapy industry
  • Qualified therapists wanting to add new treatments to their menu
  • Therapists looking for CPD or refresher training

Some advanced courses may require previous training, clearly stated in the course details.

Is funding available? +

Funding depends on the course type. Some programmes may be eligible for government funding or Advanced Learner Loans. Full details are on each course page, or contact our team who will be happy to advise on available options.

Will I receive a certificate? +

Yes. Upon successful completion you will receive a Cedars Training Academy certificate. Depending on the course, this may also be awarded by VTCT, FHT, or ABT — all widely recognised in the industry and supporting professional insurance and CPD.

Are payment plans available? +

Yes. We offer PayPal, Klarna, and Clear Pay at checkout. For courses over £1,000, a direct instalment plan may also be available. Please contact our team before booking to check options for your chosen course.

Are payments refundable? +

Bookings are subject to our terms and conditions, provided during the booking process. If you are unable to attend, please contact the academy team as soon as possible to discuss available options.

How are courses delivered? +

Delivery varies by programme — in-person at one of our academies, online learning, or a blended approach combining practical and remote sessions. The method is clearly outlined in the course information before you book.

How do I book a course? +

Book directly through our website, social media pages, or by contacting the academy team. Spaces are limited to ensure high-quality practical training, so early booking is recommended.
