Laura Wilkinson becomes first UK 4TMedical certified trainer
Laura Wilkinson, semi-permanent make up technician (SPMU) and co-founder of a successful hair and beauty salon in Preston decided the time was right to make her dream of becoming a teacher, a reality.
“Teaching was a dream I believed in and with a lot of hard work, I made it a reality!”
The first hurdle was achieved in July 2018 when Laura received her Level 3 certification in education and training, a qualification required for individuals delivering training in the workplace.
Laura went on to become an independent trainer working alongside many of the industry leading brands before launching her own training academy, an extension to her already successful clinic.
Constantly looking for the next challenge, Laura set her sights on developing her own training materials.
After working closely with Emma Sargent, a professional external educator and writer, Laura’s manuals were submitted to Associated Beauty Therapists (ABT) one of the largest beauty and insurance membership providers for accreditation.
The final challenge would be to find a reputable supplier, one that would share her commitment to sound professional ethics. Laura was referred to 4TMedical an exclusive UK and Ireland distributor for a growing number of quality beauty and aesthetics brands. The introduction proved to be very timely as 4TMedical were planning to expand their current portfolio to introduce SPMU products.
In September 2020, Laura became the first in the UK to be awarded 4TMedical certified trainer as a result of a robust accreditation process. The relationship doesn’t stop there, Laura has been actively involved in testing their new SMPU product and equipment range which is set to be launched this year.
“We are delighted to have Laura as our first 4T Medical approved SPMU training provider. As the market for SPMU continues to grow, there is a big demand for professional courses and we are confident Laura will deliver an excellent programme of training using our new Digital Pop SE device.” Laure Tordjmann – marketing director.
Laura is the first to admit that the process was more difficult than she imagined but now with four years under her belt, a brand-new clinic, her very own training manuals, Laura is looking forward to developing her partnership with 4TMedical.
