The dermal therapy industry shifts constantly. New technology and higher consumer expectations drive the need for current, evidence-based skills. ACHW Short Courses take our experience and expertise in higher education and distil this into efficient, relevant, and practical unaccredited workshop training programs.
We developed these targeted skincare training courses to connect foundational knowledge with advanced clinical application. They provide a highly immersive and interactive educational experience, teaching students to perform new treatments and modalities or gain relevant business skills tailored to the needs of the health science and dermal therapy industry.
ACHW Short Courses are designed for people working in diverse areas of beauty, cosmetics, dermal therapy, and other forms of skincare. The content of these courses ranges from teaching primary industry skills, such as how to perform particular dermal treatments, to secondary skills around professional communication and client management.
These courses have value for dermal therapists seeking to expand their offerings, clinic and salon managers who want to improve their client relationships, and cosmetics and skincare brand representatives who want to learn how to perform a professional skin analysis, among other examples. This technical understanding transforms a standard sales pitch into a genuine, results-oriented consultation.
Whether you are an experienced industry professional who wants to learn a new skill or are just starting your dermal therapy journey, ACHW Short Courses can help you achieve your goal.
Practitioners require flexible learning options that deliver immediate value to their businesses. Our workshops enable you to implement new protocols safely and effectively from the outset. By focusing on evidence-based practice rather than trends, we verify that every participant leaves with a clear understanding of the “why” behind the treatment, not just the “how”.
For experienced professionals, ACHW Short Courses provide an opportunity to refine niche skills without the time commitment of a degree. Whether you want to master a specific device or enhance your consultation technique, these modules seamlessly integrate into your professional development plan.
We have structured our delivery to respect the schedules of working clinicians. ACHW Short Courses are delivered either in-person, online, or with a blend of online study and in-clinic practical learning.
The in-person training allows you to gain real-life experience working with real people, whether that is your fellow students or clinic models, which gives you confidence and preparation that online theory cannot provide. For courses with significant scientific theory segments, you will learn through our online learning platform. This tactile experience is essential for any professional skincare short course, as developing the correct touch and tissue response is crucial for client safety.
The theory behind our training courses allows you to digest complex anatomy and physiology at your own pace. By front-loading the theoretical knowledge in our training courses in our blended delivery courses, your time on campus is dedicated entirely to hands-on skill acquisition and technique refinement under the guidance of expert supervisors.
Our short courses are designed to be accessible, so we invite those starting their journey in professional skincare to begin with one of these programs before committing to a full higher education qualification. We have structured our delivery to respect the schedules of working clinicians.
