Do I have the right qualifications or career enrol onto your courses?

Our students come from so many different health or wellbeing industries, such as:

  • Nutrition & dietetics
  • Health coaching
  • Herbal medicine & Naturopathy
  • Skincare Formulation
  • Aromatherapy & Bodywork
  • Face Yoga Practitioners
  • Facials and beauty therapy
  • Esthetics & Medical Esthetics 
  • Dermatology

You don't need any specific qualifications to enrol onto any of our skin nutrition courses.

What do I need to complete these courses?

All courses are online so you'll need a laptop and good internet connection (to be able to watch videos). All courses are in British English so you'll need a high-level of written and spoken English.

Do I need to attend live classes?

No, all of our qualifications are available as online self-study classes. BUT if you'd prefer to study with a live class (live online or live in-person) have a look at our events page as we post live skin nutrition classes there.

How are students assessed?

We have 3 types of assessment that are part of our accredited skin nutrition courses:

1. Self Assessment quizzes: These are usually at the end of each lesson so you can assess you're own learning and see any knowledge gaps. They are not graded but you will get a feedback sheet that shows your incorrect answers to help you revise.

2. Graded exams: Each course has a graded final exam that you must pass (70% passing grade) in order to earn your certificate. For longer courses there are also graded tests at the end of each module while you'll need to pass (70% passing grade) to move to the next module.

3. Practical or written assignments: for some courses you'll need to undertake a more in-depth task which could be as simple as designing a 1-day diet plan or as complex as submitting a case study. Some courses also have a written element such as investigating a specific phytochemical and writing 500 words on it.

What student support is available?

We pride ourselves on providing excellent student support and we have 4 distinct ways to do this:

1. Forum: once you're enrolled you'll have access to our forum where you can post questions and join in discussions with Star and other students

2. Messaging: Inside the student area there is also a button where you can send us a message using the school's internal messaging system

3. Feedback: on certain tasks or quizzes you'll be given personal feedback by Star Khechara to help guide you if you're struggling with any of your studies.

4. Social networking: Our school has its own in-built social networking function so you can make friends with other students and get / offer peer support. Like being at college where you all help each other. 

Are there payment plans?

Shorter masterclasses and courses under $500 don't usually have payment plans but longer courses do especially our big diplomas which offer you two ways to study:

Fast Track: pay in full to access the entire course instantly
Pay-As-You-Go: a longer payment plan where lessons are slowly released over a set period of time (usually 1-2 years)
