The course is divided into seven modules - six online theory modules plus a practical module which allows Intermed's assessors to check the learner's skills.
If the learner does not have access to suitable equipment, the practical assessment can be carried out at one of the parent company's (Skin Group International Ltd) fully equipped centres. Please contact for costings.
It is vital that each module is completed in order and each modules assessment passed before purchasing and moving onto the next module in the series. We do not issue individual module certification.
