I travelled from Ireland to Liverpool to complete my pathways. I was extremely nervous as I didn't know what to expect. From the second I walked in the door I was made feel completely at ease. The time patience and knowledge this team has is amazing. Since leaving I have opened up my own salon and this is thanks to these absolutely fantastic trainers. I will be forever grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to take the next step or in my case my first step into this mind field of an industry. So thank you all so very much 💓.

I am a non medic and took the beginner course, I was so nervous as it was a totally new experience for me but I must admit the girls at the Warrington clinic were absolutely amazing. They made me feel so comfortable and welcome from the minute I got there and were constantly re assuring me throughout the whole process. I want to give a special thanks to Rachel as she really helped calm me down and believed in me. I could not have done it without her. Such an amazing person and great teacher. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend as I went in so anxious and left feeling confident.

We will be back for more courses!

My sister and I took the pathways course and we are very happy with the knowledge we have gained from all the tutors. Their work and teaching skills were outstanding and we left feeling confident and excited to start offering treatments. Everyone was super friendly, professional and we felt so welcome.

We had a slight confusion with one of the courses but it was resolves very quickly. They really accomodate their students with all their needs and they clearly do well as the clinic was so busy.

Special thanks to Nicole, Hannah, Lydia, Rachel, Lauren, Chloe and Birdie!

Advanced Ant-Wrinkle Injectables & Lemon Bottle Fat Dissolve

I attended those 2 trainings at Chester branch. Edel is fantastic, she is so knowledgeable, and we learnt so much. There were 2 of us so the training was almost 1:1 which I loved. Edel gave us some practical tips about business such as pricing each procedure. Models booked and arrived so busy clinic and a lot of hands-on experience. Highly recommended.

I’ve just completed 5 advanced aesthetic courses in Warrington and I can’t express enough how amazing my experience was!!
Far superior training compared to my “Doctor Led” foundation course I did in London back in January.
I love the fact there are small groups on each training course so you can practice lots of times on each model. The most in each group on the courses were just two of us, but I basically had 1-1 training most of the time.
I have learnt so much this week and I feel so much more confident now!
Nicole, Emma, Lydia, Lilly, Rach, Chloe and Lily you made me feel so welcome and I cannot thank you enough for this amazing experience!!
I wouldn’t recommend anyone else for aesthetics training and I’ll definitely be returning for more learning!

SPMU

I've just completed my semi permanent makeup course with you guys in Liverpool and just wanted to say how much I loved the course. Kate was incredible. She was so informative, didn't miss out on any information and helped my confidence grow each and every day.
She was so positive and friendly and made me feel so comfortable. She was extremely knowledgeable and made sure we understood every part of what we were learning before moving on. Nothing was too much trouble.

Every staff member I encountered was so lovely and helpful, the building was so clean and I was made to feel very welcome.

I would 100% recommend to everyone and will definitely be back in the future for more training.

Thank you again so much for such a wonderful experience. It has been my most favourite training experiences to date.

Vampire facial and PRP scalp…

I done my vampire facial and PRP scalp injection training yesterday with Emma and i couldn’t recommend her enough! She was very clear with her teaching both theory and practical. She gave us lots of tips on how to grow our clinics. You can tell she knew what she was talking about and she’s amazing at what she does. I left the clinic feeling very confident with the treatments I was taught and I’d definitely go back for any course in the future! Thanks so much emma.

A massive thank you!

I first trained with Empire last year, and can honestly say, the staff are incredible!
I booked all of my courses through Amy George, who is so helpful and accomadating (especially when I was pregnant) and ensured I could fit my courses around my business and being a mum.
My first course was the advanced antiwrinkle with Laura & then advanced dermal fillers with Katie, both tutors were extremely thorough and ensured I was completely confident in all of the treatments we studied.
I more recently did a chemical peel & microneedling course with the lovely Edel, not only was she fantastic at demonstrating and assisting in the treatments but also offered help & advice on the marketing and administration side of how to run our businesses.
Then just last week, I enlisted on the lips masterclass with lovely Aisha, and I can’t thank her enough with the new lease of confidence her tutoring has given me!
Whether you’re brand new to Aesthetics or want to advance in your treatment skillset, I can’t recommend Empire enough, they go above and beyond to make sure you’re 100% confident and knowledgeable in whichever treatment you’re learning. Keep smashing it ladies, I can’t wait to book in again soon!

I recently completed my pathways training in Liverpool. The entire team was amazing. From start to finish they just made me feel at ease. Danielle, Lydia, Nicole and lauren have the patience of saints. I left feeling, confident and ready to start my little business. Knowing I have the after support makes it even better. I would highly recommend them.

I did my derma filler and advanced botulinum toxin training at Warrington. Hannah was our tutor and she was amazing. She was knowledgeable, patient and the ultimate hype woman! Shame she couldn’t teach us on the Friday :(
Unfortunately Friday was the let down, no tutors in Warrington and we weren’t told until after we had arrived and someone told us we had to go to the Liverpool site. Ok that’s fine but then we had one tutor trying teach, supervise 7students. This was not what we had paid for and the poor tutor did her best.

Face and Scalp PRP

I completed face and scalp PRP training with Nicole at the Empire academy in Warrington and I would definitely recommend anyone considering this training to go ahead and do so. The course itself was good value for money, the booking process was simple and all the course materials were emailed over promptly.
Nicole was a great teacher. She was so friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I immediately felt at ease which I think is very important when it comes to getting the most out of your training. The training itself was informative yet efficient, which I really appreciate. We began by running through the theory, then Nicole performed a demo, and then we each took turns completing models for the remainder of the session. I was comfortable to ask questions at all points throughout the day and left feeling confident adding this service to my treatment list. Thank you again Nicole :)
