I recently completed the VTCT Level 4 Award in Laser & IPL Hair Removal, and it exceeded all my expectations. The course was incredibly thorough, covering both theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to perform laser and IPL treatments with confidence. The instructor was experts in her field, offering clear explanations and real-world insights that made the learning process engaging and effective.
The training facilities were excellent, equipped with the latest technology, which allowed me to practice on industry-standard machines. This hands-on experience was invaluable and really helped to solidify my understanding of the techniques. The small class size of only 2 ensured that each student received personalized attention, and the supportive learning environment made the complex material much easier to grasp. I highly recommend this course to anyone serious about gaining expertise in laser and IPL treatments.
