Level up courses.
The most popular questions and answers about professional development courses.
Who are level up courses for?
Such courses are usually intended for persons who wish to improve some concrete skills at a higher level. Completing basic training alone will not be enough. Everything is continuous and moving forward both in terms of techniques and materials. If you want to continue a profession and offer more services to your clients, be sure to attend this type of training.
Do I need to have prior knowledge when attending the level up course?
Yes, this training requires prior knowledge. Such courses are usually designed in such a way that when you arrive, you will not waste time on things you already know, but will focus on raising your knowledge in a specific field. There are qualification raising courses, you will be able to attend only after a certain time. For example, if a month ago you received a certificate or confirmation of completed basic training in eyelash extension, you may not be accepted to learn volume technique until at least 6 months have passed. These conditions may change and differ for each teacher individually.
What will you learn in such courses?
In this type of courses, different or complex techniques are learned in the specific field. For example, you received a certificate after completing the basic training in eyebrow modeling and coloring, but you want to try something new and expand the use of your services. You learned about a new eyebrow coloring technique, "Eyebrow coloring with an airbrush", and you want to learn it, then you go to level up courses, where you only learn about this technique.
How long do such trainings usually last?
Qualification courses usually last from a few hours to several days, but this duration can change depending on the complexity of the course and the instructor's instructions.
What should you take with you when going to such trainings?
It all depends on where you are going. Most often, all the necessary materials, including theoretical handouts, are provided by the instructors and are included in the price, but there are places where you may have to pay extra both for materials needed during training and for models. Before going to training, if it is not mentioned anywhere, be sure to find out in advance about all the necessary training process.

Why do the prices of level up courses vary so much?
The price of training is determined by each educational institution or private teacher individually. The most popular prices are the degree of complexity of the profession you choose to learn, the cost of materials affecting the training, the experience of the instructor or educational institution in the specific field, the existence of various types of permits and licenses, as well as many other factors that affect the payment for training. It is a common fact that the cheaper the training, the less information you will receive, which can lead to various types of consequences due to not receiving detailed information.
Can thevlevel up course also be taken remotely?
Advanced training courses can be taken both face-to-face and remotely. Now, when technologies have developed to a high level, it is possible to learn a lot of professions remotely, i.e. online. If the remote program is made with both theoretical blocks and video tutorials, where everything is shown and explained to you in detail, everything can be written. You can learn any diversion quite well and it looks good at a place and time that is convenient for you. All you need is an internet connection, a device from which you can learn the profession, and a time to learn the program.
How to choose where to go for level up courses?
You have to evaluate where to go to improve your knowledge according to many factors.
For instance:
- Is the educational institution licensed or accredited in any way for the private tutor for a specific program?
- Does the social network profile and/or website of the particular institution/teacher appeal to you as safe and reliable?
- Follow other people's reviews. Find out from others whether they would recommend the specific institution/teacher to you?
- What kind of communication do you have with the specific institution/teacher? Does their attitude appeal to you?
- Evaluate whether the price is acceptable for each place of learning for you? Are you considering whether the price meets the requirements of specific institutions/teachers?
- If you go to a private tutor, do you like that person's work style and ethics? Because this person is probably learning techniques from you.
Always seek new knowledge. This is how you will prove yourself as a professional master both among your customers and other masters! ;)
