Not Professional

There's nothing professional about the Professional Aesthetics Academy. I had a bad experience with this company.
I asked for a refund when it became clear that I'd effectively spent close to two thousand pounds on 3 poor quality zoom meetings of 45 minutes filmed on the Dentist's phone as she pointed to screen-grabbed anatomy images on her scratched iPad screen. What's more, I found her accent difficult to understand. This is not the kind of training I would feel any pride or confidence in going forwards. And I would not want to be a client of anybody who learned with this company. Going into aesthetics I would want to know I can serve my clients well but I did not leave feeling like I could serve them at all as I had not been adequately trained. When I asked for a refund on the grounds the course wasn't being delivered with reasonable care and skill and is not of a satisfactory quality, my request was denied; but only after I'd been strung along and led to believe I would be refunded if I gave them enough feedback. I spent an hour of my time writing a feedback email with pointers on how they could improve, only for this to be metaphorically thrown back in my face as Mr Alvi disagreed with my experience and told me I would not be refunded. I made him aware that I had spent my lifesavings on this course, as I had lost everything including my previous career during covid, but he showed no mercy. After this, I tried to meet half way by suggesting I could take the 'course' again (the 3 zoom calls of 45 minutes each again) if the problems I mentioned were rectified (sound and filming quality to be adequate) and I be offered a reasonable discount on the second half of the course. The 'second half' being a day in London injecting poor unsuspecting people in the face without being properly trained.

Seeing as the only way to pay for this course is by bank transfer and not on credit card, you don't get the financial protection a credit card would afford you. I'd be very careful. They might reply saying they don't recognise my name or that my review is 'fake'; I go by an alias on trustpilot.
In summary, If you're considering a career in aesthetics and want to be professionally taught and supported, I'd look elsewhere.
