The Teresa Tarmey Academy

  • The Teresa Tarmey Academy is a CIBTAC-endorsed training course for skincare professionals ready to refine their practice, build confidence and master results-driven techniques that work. Created by Teresa herself as a result of a growing frustration towards fundamental techniques such as needle extractions being increasingly overlooked, this programme cuts through skincare trends to teach what truly matters: how to give a good, effective facial treatment.

    This education programme is designed to raise the standard of professional facial treatments by returning to clinical fundamentals, with a focus on proper cleansing, extraction mastery, cutting-edge ultrasound technology integration and scientifically-backed ingredients.


    All participants receive £327 worth of Teresa Tarmey products to support their training and at-home practice.

    • Endorsed expertise: CIBTAC-endorsed training that adds a recognised, global qualification to your skill set.

    • Hands-on device training: Understand how to integrate advanced technologies like the Skinmater Plus by Brera for elevated results.

    • Real-world, clinic-tested protocols: Discover the techniques Teresa has developed and refined over 27 years and 50,000+ hours of hands-on-skin experience.


    • Blended learning format: Start with online learning, then gain in-person experience through a practical demo day and a 1-2-1 live assessment.

Become Certified. Become Confident. Become a True Expert.

"I believe in going back to basics. Healthy skin starts with proper cleansing and precise, informed extractions - skills that are often rushed or overlooked in modern facials. This course is about restoring that lost art whilst bringing in the best of modern skin tech, specifically the Skinmaster Plus machine that has been designed, engineered and manufactured by Brera Technologies in Italy. Rooted in my 27 years of experience, this is not a masterclass, it’s real, deep-rooted expertise packed into a professional, endorsed education programme." - Teresa Tarmey
