Welcome to Ocho Training Academy
Beauty training in Glasgow city centre.
We offer a range of fully accredited beauty and holistic treatment training courses, for both beginners starting their career in beauty and holistic therapies, or experienced professional therapists looking to expand their skills.
Fully Accredited Beauty Training Courses
All courses are approved and professionally accredited by ABT (Associated Beauty Therapists), meaning you can become fully insured once you have successfully completed the course.
Why Train at Ocho Academy?
All our courses are taught face-to-face, which gives you the best hands-on and practical experience. We have over 20 years experience in the beauty industry, continue to carry out treatments on our own clients, as we are so passionate and love our work. With our training academy we wants to give back to the beauty community, by delivering the highest quality courses using our combined knowledge and experience.
Each course comes with a manual for you to keep, full of practical tips, advice and guidance on best practice, preparation, and detailed step-by-step instructions. Each manual covers in detail:
the history and background of treatments
contra-actions and contraindications
how to carry out a consultation
how to provide aftercare advice
and much more.
Some courses request pre-study to help prepare you for training days. Some courses also offer you the opportunity to purchase equipment kits to help you get set up and start building your clientele.
Our training courses train you to carry out your new treatments confidently and safely. It’s important to us that we provide a fun, relaxed learning environment so that you can excel. We want to ensure you leave feeling confident and will continue to support you after training.
At Ocho Spa Training Academy we are always growing as therapists ourselves, and continually invest in training for new products and treatments, helping the beauty industry grow and get stronger.
We are incredibly passionate about learning and delivering the best possible experience for our clients, and we want to share that with you.
