All of our courses are online, and you can enroll at any time. Our courses are designed as independent study programs, so you study from home at a time that suits you.


As soon as you enroll, if you pay in full you will receive full access to the course inside our online classroom. Alternatively, you may wish to opt for an affordable payment plan, in which case your course will be released in phases, as each payment is made.


Within the online classroom, you will find your course laid out for you. We provide a variety of study materials: 


  • Comprehensive and beautifully designed textbooks which are provided to you as PDFs to either download or print.
  • Downloadable workbooks and worksheets to complete as you progress through the course, to help you complete activities and solidify your knowledge.
  • Video lessons and demonstrations. We have made them “bite-sized”, they are anywhere from between 5 to 20 minutes in length long
  • Downloadable reference charts and templates for record keeping.
  • Quizzes to test your knowledge.
  • Practical activities to put your learning into practice.
  • Formulations/recipes created by our professional in-house cosmetic formulators.


All of this is hosted inside our mobile responsive online classroom so you can access your course wherever, whenever you want.


You’ll meet your fellow students and the course tutors in our new Student Online Community.  The community offers:

*  You’ll meet your classmates in the peer-peer support community forum

*  Attend weekly tutor-led discussions: Fun, expert-led chats about trending skincare topics and ingredients 

*  Take part in Formulation Challenges: We’re hosting a series of formulation challenges each year with different focuses. 

*  Member Directory and Find a Study Buddy: If you’re new to a course and want someone to study alongside for a bit of accountability and support, this is the perfect place to reach out and find a buddy.

* Attend our monthly Live Formulator Forums, where you'll get the chance to meet the tutors and network with your fellow students live on Zoom.  You'll also have access to recordings of the previous formulator forums


When you have worked through the lessons, you take the end-of-course quiz or complete the assignments. On successful completion, you’ll be issued your Certificate of Completion.
