Introducing Body Massage as a Course

Now available, is the GTi Body Massage course, which is fully accredited by the Guild of Beauty Therapy, and on offer here at Sanctuary.  You could begin taking your own clients or adding this treatment to your own list of available treatments for your clients.

Body Massage makes a good addition for a Reflexologist and Indian Head Massage practitioner, as well as being a fabulous stand alone treatment.

What could you do with this treatment?

  • Full Body Massage
  • Back, Neck and Shoulder Massage
  • Hand and Foot Massage (makes a great add on for facials – for that empty time when the mask is on)  A great way to give that something extra to your client.

Cost £265

The theory is online and covers all anatomy and physiology needed for this stand alone course.

Now available for booking online, or simply send us an e-mail at ask@sanctuarytrainingacademy.co.uk

You will have approximately 21 hours of online study to do at home, which covers all aspects from reception to videos of the body massage routine itself.  When those have been completed, you come to us for your practical session.  On successful completion of both elements, you will be able to download a PDF version of your Guild Accredited Qualification, which will allow you to gain insurance and work within the industry. The course has a CPD points value of 39.

Bookings now open.  Course can be bought by getting in touch with us, or through the product page – Body Massage Training Course

Payment is via Paypal or by direct Bank Transfer.  We can send you an invoice for payment if you would prefer to book this way instead of online.

Pre-requisies:  GTi Professional Standards for Therapists – Free with the course if you do not already have it.

On completion of this course, you will be entitled to buy the Aromatherapy GTi course, to allow you to perform Aromatherapy massage.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Beauty Day Courses in Aberdeen

Beauty therapy training is something that most of us think we have to learn at college, for 2 years or more.

In the real world, while that’s ideal for youngsters straight from school, or for those who have the time to devote to college full-time, it’s not right for everyone.  Beauty day courses in Aberdeen are growing.  While you do the online theory at home, you can go to a training school like ours, the Sanctuary Training Academy, and do the practical session with us, which then means you can start your own business with your new day qualification.

The Guild of Beauty Therapists accredits their own courses, which we provide here at Sanctuary.  When we have assessed you as competent, you can then gain insurance, and begin to earn money by selling your skills.  These truly are fast track beauty courses, designed to get your earning in a short time.

Not all courses are equal.  While some courses at other schools do not have practical sessions, you would be unlikely to get accreditation from any of the beauty associations or good insurance without some practical training.  Always make sure you choose accredited training that is recognised by a beauty association, and allows you to gain your insurance to practice.  While it might be tempting to work without insurance, we’re not all perfect, and mistakes can happen to anyone, at any time.

The beauty day courses in Aberdeen that we provide are:

  • Facials
  • Indian Head Massage
  • Ear Candling
  • Beginner Waxing

Our online courses are:

You can choose to:

  • Buy online, and pay by Paypal or BACS, with your order number attached to your BACS payment.
  • Message us, and we’ll send you an invoice for you to make a direct bank transfer.

When we have verified payment, we will send you a link to activate your course.  If you are new to the Guild of Beauty Therapy, you will be required to pay a joining fee of £10 + VAT, which also includes the Professional Standards for Therapists online course, if you do not already have it.

Upon completion of your course, we can provide you with a discount code to buy your insurance from the Guild of Beauty Therapists.   Beauty day courses are also fabulous for existing therapists who’d like to add new skills to their portfolio.  Give us a call today, or send us a message.

Accredited Facials Training in Aberdeen

The GTi Facial Treatment Course provided by Sanctuary Training Academy, is accredited by the Guild of Beauty Therapy, and consists of two elements.

Theory

Upon receiving your activation e-mail from us, you first proceed to completing the theory online, and you will have the opportunity to watch videos, giving you a chance to practice at home.

Practical

When you have completed your modules online, we arrange your training day.  We are flexible for practical days, and don’t always have set days.  We understand that your need is sometimes not compatible with set days.  Even if you are the only student, the course will still run.

All students are provided with a PDF manual by the Guild of Beauty Therapy, to use as a reference.

In the unlikely event you do not reach the required standard, then an additional practical training session will be available at no extra charge, although you may be required to fit in with another training day.

If you do not have Professional Standards for Therapists from the Guild of Beauty Therapy, you would be required to complete this before beginning your Facial Treatment modules.  Please ask for more details.

As part of your practical training day, you may receive a treatment, as well as giving one, if you are completing the course as part of a group.  If you have sensitive skin, an infection or allergies, please notify us as soon as possible.

Expectations on the day

We have a dedicated training therapy room, which is used for most of our practical sessions.  Please wear dark clothing.  Comfortable clothes are a necessity.  Clothes with tight waistbands can be uncomfortable when you perform lengthy treatments while sitting down.  If you don’t own salon wear, dark clothes are more likely to hide any potential stains you may pick up while performing a treatment.

Tea, Coffee and water is provided.  Please take along a packed lunch.  Don’t worry if you forget, as there are shops close by.  We also have a microwave and a kettle, and you are welcome to use the staff room to eat your lunch.

All equipment and products needed to complete the course are provided.

  • Long hair should be tied back.
  • Comfortable shoes must be worn.
  • Minimal jewellery should be worn.
  • Socks or tights should be worn.
