If you have any concerns about your journey, please get in touch and we’ll do our best to advise. Some delegates prefer to stay over in Manchester the night before training. We can recommend local accommodation if required.

Dress code is professional. Please dress appropriately as this is a real clinic environment (no jeans, trainers etc).

Do bear in mind you’ll want to be comfortable too, as you can expect to be on your feet a bit and will want to be suitably attired for carrying out treatments.

Your training materials will be emailed to you separately and should be downloaded within 7 days on a computer (not phone or tablet). Please read this documentation thoroughly in advance of attending our training school.

Remember, passing your course is not guaranteed. We assume a reasonable knowledge of facial anatomy & physiology and you will be asked questions to check your understanding.

Therefore it is essential you read and digest your training materials.

All delegates are required to complete our “Code of Conduct” form in advance of training, to ensure that all delegates have a productive and enjoyable experience at SkinViva Training.

Save time by printing this beforehand, signing and bringing with you to your practical training course.  Please return it to a member of the staff BEFORE starting the course.
