Bryony Clements

“I couldn’t recommend this amazing training academy more highly. Astra is an incredible trainer, hugely knowledgeable and very supportive. I left the training day feeling confident to offer these procedures in my own clinic. I can’t wait to train with Astra again. Thank you!”

Carly Jane

“I highly recommend Astra and Lisa at Devon & Cornwall training academy. They have provided a fantastic training session on Peri oral rejuvenation and advanced lip techniques. I felt I achieved all of the competencies I required and had lots of practice mastering the techniques which were taught. I will be returning!”

“
Karina Williams

“I completed the cheek and mid-facelift course yesterday with Astra. It was by far the best course I had been on! There was enough theory and she was able to answer any questions. There was plenty of hands-on practice with live models which I find really important and severely lacks from the big training companies!! Lunch was also included which was of great standard! I feel more than ready to start offering these treatments, thanks for a great course!”

“
Nina Prisk

“I attended the advanced mid-face course and was honestly so impressed with the teaching from Astra. Not only is she very knowledgeable and skilled, but she is also so personable, and learning from her felt very easy! The small group of delegates alongside many models meant we were able to practice until we were completely competent. I will definitely be returning for more courses in the future.”
