Platinum Training Academy
Train with people who still do the job every day
Beginner to advanced beauty and aesthetics courses, taught inside a working salon in Woolston — or delivered at your own salon. Small groups, real models, hands-on from the start, and support that does not stop when you walk out with your certificate.
Accredited training provider
Accredited by the International Guild of Complementary Therapists

Courses & prices
Every course we run
Payment plans are available on request. Tell us your background and we will place you on the right course — even if it is not the one you first asked about.
Aesthetics
Our advanced injectable courses — the ones that add the most to a treatment list, taught with anatomy work before you go anywhere near a model.
Advanced skin
Results-led skin treatments that let you charge properly and rebook clients on a course rather than a one-off.
Beauty
The everyday treatments that fill a column book fastest when you are starting out — and the ones clients rebook without being asked.
Hair
Taught by Kerry, who has been fitting extensions for over thirteen years and still fits them in the salon every week.
Meet your trainers
Fifty years between them
Both directors still work in the salon. That matters more than it sounds — it means what you are taught is what is working on paying clients this month, not what was in a manual five years ago.
