Patch Testing

Some course require students/models to complete a patch test prior to attending the practical training sessions. We also strongly advise all students to patch prior to starting any home learning where routine or products that meet the skin are used. 

Whilst reactions are very un-common, it is the students responsibility to ensure patch tests have been completed as per our terms and conditions. If you are at all worried please contact us and we will be delighted to help you further.
