Questions
Quick Answers
No. Upscale starts at skin anatomy and basic protocols, so complete beginners are welcome. Practising therapists join the same cohort and go deeper in the advanced modules.
Yes. A deposit secures your seat and the balance is spread across the training period. Message us before you enroll and we'll set the plan up. Card and bank transfer both work.
Both. Theory runs online with recordings you keep for life, and the practical days are held in person on live models — because you cannot learn extractions or needle depth from a video.
Attend the required practical sessions and pass your assessments. Certificates are issued at the end of the cohort with a verification code employers and clients can check.
You keep lifetime access to the alumni community, help sourcing products and tools, and check-ins as you build your practice. Combo students get three months of one-to-one mentorship.
