The manual and videos are packed with both theory and practical information, giving you everything you need to learn to use Facial Gua Sha techniques on yourself and teach them to others.

 

You’ll keep these resources for life, so you’ll always have them to refer to as you continue on your Facial Gua Sha journey.

 

We ask you to complete at least 12 hours of study before moving on to the assessment phase. But you can choose to do more if you prefer. There are no time limits – we want this training to fit easily around your life.

When you are ready, you’ll complete the certification process by doing a short written assignment to check your knowledge and understanding. You’ll email this to your trainer, who will mark it and reach out to book your 30-minute 1:1 video call.

 

During the first ten minutes of this call, you’ll complete the practical exam. Don’t let the word exam put you off – we just ask you to teach a mini Gua Sha class as though you were leading a session for clients.

 

After the practical, you’ll have the opportunity to review your learning with your trainer, ask questions, and get feedback. Then, we’ll send you your diploma and you’ll officially be a qualified Facial Gua Sha Teacher. 

Your teacher training course was designed and written by three passionate, experienced wellness professionals (myself, Katie Brindle and Katie Blake). Together we collaborated to bring you the very best course to ensure you are fully equipped to teach facial Gua Sha.
