Course Details:

We may not be able to prevent nature's impact on our appearance but we are in a position to reduce certain of its effects on our skin. At around the age of 25, the first sign of ageing begins to appear and is more noticeable on our faces. Masks have been developed to work on a multitude of skin problems from brown age spots to superficial scarring and to rejuvenate the skin.

In this course the student is taught how a 'facial' is a treatment in which a number of creams are applied to the skin to help with any specific problem and to generally improve the overall condition. Furthermore, you will be taught treatments of skincare routines that will help you or your client to look and feel better.

Management/Leadership Skills Test
All students of this course have the option to take a Management/Leadership Test for an additional cost of €35.00. This test is conducted on our behalf by Verax international. This test has to be taken on line and the results will be sent directly to each student by email usually within 3/4 working days.

The test will allow you to assess your own performance against 16 key management/leader competencies - such as customer focus, decision making, creativity and team working - which are valued by employers and which are very important for effective performance as a manager or team leader. There is one test for managers in the public sector and a separate test for all other managers. Depending on which version chosen, your performance is benchmarked either against 15,000 or so managers in the database or against public sector managers only.

In summary, this unique test will show you what to stop doing (or do less of) and what to start doing (or do more of) in order to become more effective in your current role/activity. In effect, you are told what you need to do to become a more effective manager and team leader and most important of all, how to do it.'
