Start earning while you qualify

When you train with us on a Focus Awards practical course, there’s a clear structure to ensure you're supported every step of the way. After your in-person training, you’ll complete your observations, case studies, assignments and compile a portfolio of evidence. This takes time – and rightly so, as it ensures high standards and full compliance with regulated qualifications.

But we know you want to start offering treatments as soon as possible. That’s why, once your tutor has assessed your case studies and you're deemed competent, you’ll be awarded a CPD Certificate of Completion. This means you can begin offering blemish removal treatments and earning an income, while your official Level 4 Focus Awards certificate is processed and issued.

In addition, in our CPD course you will also be taught how to do additional blemish removal types such as

• Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra
• Milia 
• Molluscum Contagiosum
• Sebaceous cysts
• Sebaceous keratosis
• Spider Naevus
• Syringomas
• Telangiectasia (thread veins on face)
• Thread veins on legs
• Verruca's 
• Warts
• Xanthomas

We’ve built this process to help you build your confidence, income, and client base – without unnecessary delays.
