I couldn’t recommend Empire more!!

I couldn’t recommend Empire more!!
From first walking in the door the atmosphere was so lovely. The first day I had Hannah teaching and it was the most pleasant time. Had Lydia for the rest of the week and she made sure to check in on each student to ensure they were okay and understood. Each and every staff that was in the building was so unbelievably helpful and supportive it was such a nice environment.
Thank you so so much to every one of the staff especially Lydia who was so unbelievably supportive and caring. I will definitely be returning! ❤️

I had the most incredible experience…

I had the most incredible experience with Empire Aesthetics Training Academy. From the moment I walked in, everything felt so professional, welcoming, and of the highest standard. I honestly felt like I had found my people!

A very special thank you to Lydia – she was supportive, funny, friendly, and endlessly encouraging throughout the whole pathway. She made the training both enjoyable and inspiring, and I know I can always reach out in the future (as she reminded us, there’s no such thing as a silly question!).

What really sets Empire apart is that this isn’t just a week of training and then goodbye – the ongoing support is amazing. I’ve not only gained skills and confidence but also made lifelong friends in both my peers and tutors.

Thank you to the whole team for believing in us, for striving for the highest standards, and for sharing your knowledge, tips, tricks, and incredible energy. I couldn’t recommend Empire Aesthetics Training Academy enough!

Completed the pathway to aesthetics

Completed the pathway to aesthetics. Great experience from start to finish. Would like to thank Edele for the best week. I feel confident leaving the academy with the knowledge I have learnt from Edele. I also finished the end of the week with Hannah for skin boosters and PRP which I enjoyed. I would also like to thank Jess she’s a great asset to front of house and admin.

Completed the pathway to injectables course at empire with Hannah as our tutor, she was great at explaining the course work to us in a friendly and professional manor giving us lots of extra helpful hints and tips along the way. You can see why she has her own successful clinic. It was a really enjoyable and informative day and would definitely recommend.

My experience with Empire was second to none, I completed my training with Hannah who was absolutely brilliant at explaining everything so clearly and demonstrating how to complete the facials in a safe manor. Hannah was brilliant at giving feedback back on our practical explaining where I had gone right and where I needed to improve, I would definitely recommend empire to anyone who is wanting to get into the beauty industry and you’ll be even luckier to have Hannah as your teacher🩷

Fantastic results

I couldn’t be more pleased with the results of my recent aesthetic treatment. I’ve had numerous treatments and my skin looks significantly smoother, more radiant & youthful. Feels brighter & tighter. The before & after photo are incredible. The results are natural yet noticeable.
The teams are incredibly knowledgeable from Jess who is welcoming friendly, reassuring and immediately put you at ease. Tutors Hannah & Aisha are amazing. The students are very knowledgeable & confident. From the initial consultation to the post-treatment care, the entire process was seamless.
I would highly recommend Empire Academy of Aesthetics for great results

Nicole was AMAZING

I booked the Expert Dermal Filler course with Nicole after hearing so many great recommendations—and I’m so glad I did. I’d had a really bad experience with my previous training academy, so this time I wanted to make sure I was learning from the best. The academy was spotless, the team were lovely, and Nicole was honestly amazing. She made me feel so comfortable, she really knows her stuff, and was just a genuinely lovely person to be around. I left feeling confident, reassured, and honestly a bit gutted I didn’t do all my training with them from the start. I’d highly recommend and I’ll definitely be back for more courses in the future.

Highly recommend

I’ve just returned from several days of training at Empire Academy, and I’m feeling both confident and inspired to take my aesthetic business to new heights. As a medic, I usually attend courses tailored specifically for medical professionals, which often come with a hefty price tag. That’s why I was so delighted to discover Empire Academy—a training provider offering exceptional value without compromising on quality.

The standard of teaching and level of support were truly on par with the more expensive medic-focused courses I’ve attended. The trainers were not only experienced and knowledgeable but also incredibly patient. Jess was fantastic in helping me rearrange my schedule when one of my courses was unexpectedly cancelled; she went above and beyond to ensure I didn’t miss out.

I must also mention Hannah, whose expertise in skin boosters and polynucleotides was outstanding. Emma quickly recognized my prior experience and tailored her teaching to help me further develop my skills and boost my confidence. Her business advice was very valuable and I am grateful to her for sharing her secrets to success. She was also kind enough to respond when I messaged her after.

Thanks to the entire team, I feel more equipped than ever to elevate my business.

THE BEST TRAINING ACADEMY🤍

This is by far the best training academy to go to! I was so nervous being new to the skincare/aesthetics industry, and they made me feel so at ease, no question was every silly and the knowledge i have walked away with is amazing, i never thought i could get so much out of a week! My tutors were Rachael, Edel, and Hannah, and they were all AMAZING! The expertise and knowledge they have is unmatched! All of the clinic staff are so friendly, and have everything planned out for you, and are there to answer all of your questions, even after completing your training!

Lauren the clinic manager was fab, helped me book my training and answered any questions i had any day of the week, always making sure you’re comfortable and happy, and get the best out of the course, she’s amazing! The support is outstanding! I will 100% be back and recommend to everyone 🤍xxx
