In-Person Training

THE ACADEMY ADVANTAGE

Both learning formats have their place. But for mastering precise hand techniques—blade angles, pressure control, fan-making—in-person training accelerates your confidence dramatically. Real-time feedback means mistakes get corrected immediately, not discovered on your first paying client.

Your Technique Gets Fixed Immediately

Online videos can't tell you your hand angle is wrong or your pressure is too light. In-person training means real-time feedback while you're actually doing the work—not discovering mistakes on your first paying client.

 

Practice On Real People, Not Plastic

You'll work on 2-3 live models during training—different skin types, different challenges. Walk out having performed actual treatments, not just watched demonstrations.

 

Walk Out With Everything You Need

Professional equipment worth £200-300 included in academy courses. No "you'll need to buy these separately" surprises. Everything for your first 20-30 clients, packed and ready.

 

Qualified and Insured Same Day

CPD certificate issued immediately after completion. Insurance accepted, licensing guidance provided. Start taking bookings the same week.

 

"In-person training gives you real-time feedback while you're learning - someone correcting your hand angle immediately, not after you've practised it wrong. That's the advantage of the academy format."


Lara Barrett - Founder and Lead Trainer

FAQs

Academy Training Questions

Quick answers to help your decision-making

For technical skills requiring precise hand positioning, pressure control, and real-time feedback—yes, in-person matters. Online courses work for theory-heavy topics. They don't work for learning whether your microblading angle is correct or if you're applying too much lash glue.


Academy training means:

  • Your mistakes get corrected while you're making them
  • You practice on real people with different skin/lash types
  • You've performed actual treatments before your first paying client

If you genuinely can't commit to fixed dates, our online courses are available. But if you can make in-person work, it's a better investment.

Rescheduling is available up to 7 days before your course date at no charge (subject to availability). Contact us immediately if circumstances change.


Cancellations within 7 days of the course are non-refundable, but your payment can be transferred to a future date within 6 months.

Yes—if you practice properly. Here's the typical timeline:


Weeks 1-2: Practice on friends/family (often free or heavily discounted). This solidifies your technique without financial pressure.

Weeks 3-4: First paying clients. Start at lower price points while building confidence.

Months 2-3: Course investment recovered (typically 2-4 paying clients).

Months 3-6: Full pricing, building a regular client base.


Most students feel "ready enough" within 2-3 weeks. Perfect technique comes with repetition—but you'll have the fundamentals down immediately.

Yes. Groups of 3+ booking together receive 10% off the total booking. Contact us directly for group bookings—we can also arrange private training days for salon teams.


Email: info@lararosetrainingacademy.com


Phone: +44 7852 868814

More than 7 days before course: Full refund or free rescheduling


7 days or less before course: No refund, but payment transferable to future date within 6 months


Non-attendance: No refund, no transfer


We keep class sizes small (4-6 students), so last-minute cancellations impact other students and course viability. We recommend booking with Klarna if you're uncertain about commitment.

Yes. We offer flexible payment plans through Klarna at checkout:

  • Pay in 30 days: Buy now, pay in full within 30 days
  • Pay in 3 instalments: Spread over 3 months, interest-free
  • Pay in 4 instalments: Spread over 4 months, interest-free


Available for all courses. Subject to Klarna approval.

CPD certification is awarded upon course completion—there's no "pass/fail" in the traditional sense. However:

  • If you're not confident by the end of training, we'll arrange additional supervised practice (typically at reduced cost)
  • Lifetime email support means help doesn't stop when training ends
  • Most students need 5-10 practice sessions with friends/family before feeling fully confident


We're invested in your success, not just your enrolment.

No. You obtain insurance after qualifying. We provide guidance on insurance providers who accept our CPD certification (all major beauty insurers do).


Typical insurance costs: £80-150 annually, depending on treatments covered.
