About Your Diploma

This diploma is perfect for those seeking entry into the field of aesthetics or progressing in healthcare and wellness careers. Although designed to be completed within a year, many students finish in 8-10 months due to its flexible structure. Some universities only require 80 UCAS tariff points.
