Become the therapist clients trust for real skin transformation.
My Platinum Skin Specialist Programme has been designed for therapists who want to move beyond basic beauty treatments and become confident, knowledgeable and results-driven skin specialists.
This is not simply a treatment training course.
This is an advanced skin education programme combining corrective skin therapy, regenerative treatments, advanced consultation skills, skin physiology, barrier function, inflammation management, treatment planning and real clinic experience across three intensive training days in Plymouth.
Over three days, you will learn how to confidently assess, treat and plan corrective skin programmes using a modern, evidence-led and barrier-conscious approach to skin health.

Why Train With Me?
I am an award-winning clinical skin specialist and educator with over 20 years of experience treating real skin concerns in an active clinic – acne, hyperpigmentation, ageing, rosacea and barrier impairment, every single day.
This programme has been built entirely from that experience. Not from textbooks. Not from theory alone. From over two decades of understanding why skin behaves the way it does, and how to change it safely and sustainably.
You are not learning from someone who only teaches treatments. You are learning from someone who works with skin daily within real clinic practice.
What you’ll achieve with me:
- I will teach you how to safely perform professional clinical dermaplaning, skin peels and skin needling.
- You will understand the science, applications and skin physiology behind each treatment, not just the steps.
- You will practise on live models under my direct supervision across all three training days
- You will leave with a CPD-accredited certificate and the skills to treat at a premium level immediately.
- You will complete a free CPD A&P Level 3 course to support your clinical foundation.
Why This Programme?
My Platinum Skin Specialist Programme is fully accredited by The CPD Group - Approved Provider #778687. Your qualification will be officially recognised, fully insurable and trusted by clients and clinics across the UK.
But more than the certificate, this programme will fundamentally change the way you understand and approach the skin. Three treatments. Three days. One clinical framework that connects them all.
Three Days Training
Each day is structured to build progressively from skin science and consultation through to advanced treatment practice.
Online Pre-Study
You will complete your online pre-study theory first, building your clinical foundation before your first training day.
Training Products Provided
All products and equipment used across all three training days are supplied by me. You arrive ready to learn.
Free A&P Level 3
I have added my Anatomy & Physiology L3 course at no extra cost, essential groundwork for every therapist on this programme.
Live Models
You will practise on live models under my direct supervision, building real confidence with real skin across all three advanced treatments.
CPD Certificate
On completion, you will receive a fully accredited CPD certificate recognised, insurable and ready to use
Insurance Help
I will guide you through the insurance process so there is no gap between qualifying and treating clients professionally.
Ongoing Support
My support does not end when you leave the clinic. I am here for questions, guidance and ongoing help as you build your practice.
A Barrier-First Approach to Skin Peels
This Is More Than A Skin Course
Most skin courses teach treatments. This programme teaches you how to think like a skin specialist. My Platinum Skin Specialist Programme focuses heavily on:
- Skin anatomy and physiology
- Advanced skin analysis
- Barrier function
- Chronic inflammation
- Fitzpatrick assessment
- Corrective treatment planning
- Regenerative skin therapy
- Consultation confidence
- Client communication
- Long-term skin transformation
Because successful skin therapists do not simply perform treatments. They understand why the skin behaves the way it does. How inflammation impacts skin function. When the skin needs correction and when it needs repair.
This level of clinical thinking is what separates advanced skin specialists from standard treatment providers.

You will qualify in three advanced clinical skin treatments and receive training in LED and combination therapy planning in one intensive programme.
