Five-star Google review for MSTA from Collette Smith
Collette Smith left a five-star Google review for MSTA, Milele Skin: “Had such an amazing week with MSTA. My trainers were Jemma and Hollie - they were so knowledgable and patient, always willing to help. At the start of the week I was a complete beginner with no confidence and by the end I felt comfortable/confident in what I had learnt. I can't wait to get my skin care business up and running and hopefully return back to MSTA for future education and training. Thank you girls xxx

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Felicity Burgin
Felicity Burgin left a five-star Google review for MSTA, Penelope Skin Clinic: “I came to MSTA with no real experience in the skin care world but very keen to get started and having just completed my level 3 with them I've already booked level 4 because I was so happy with the training received. Not only are the lady's all extremely knowledgeable and professional but they're all so friendly, kind and helpful. They all genuinely want to see you do well and are there to support you every step of the way. I've trained in different areas of the beauty industry before and can honestly say the experience and level of dedication from MSTA is on another level. I'm very excited to go on to do level 4 and then hopefully all the levels available after that. Thank you to everyone on the team for making this journey so enjoyable and exciting. See you all again soon, felicity x

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Kirby Timmins
Kirby Timmins left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I cannot give this course enough stars! The training, knowledge, confidence and new lease of life it has given me is honestly incredible. I first spoke to Kirsty in 2024, again in 2025 and finally took the plunge in 2026 and I only wish I had done it sooner. Keji is one of the most insightful, thorough trainers I have ever met. Her knowledge is second to none, and the support she has continued to give me even after completing the course is something I'll always be grateful for. The world truly needs more women like her. MSTA is so much more than just a training academy. It provides guidance, business advice, ongoing support, and a genuine community that wants to see you succeed. I honestly couldn't recommend it enough.

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Tara
Tara left a five-star Google review for MSTA, Nuyu Skin: “I honestly cannot recommend the MSTA course enough. The week itself is incredible. The trainers genuinely want you to pass, and you can truly feel how much they care about every single student. The support, encouragement and attention to detail throughout the week is second to none. Keji is an outstanding trainer. Her knowledge is exceptional and everything she teaches is delivered so effortlessly and confidently. Her previous medical background really shines through and gives you complete trust in what you're learning. You feel informed and confident every step of the way. If you're thinking about booking this course, my advice is simple. Just do it. I first enquired around two years ago and didn't take the plunge, and now I can't help but think where I could be in my skin career had I started back then. There will never be a perfect time, but this course is absolutely worth If you're on the fence, take this as your sign Thank you Zoe, Keji and the whole MSTA team
Five-star Google review for MSTA from Hayley Collins
Hayley Collins left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I trained with MSTA just over a year ago, on their 5 day advanced skin specialist course. After having my little girl I really wanted to carve out a career for myself which offered work life balance, something I struggled to find being employed, this is honestly the best decision I could have made for myself and my family. I now have a flexible work life and I am fully present in my family life too. The course was thorougher and really enjoyable, the team at MSTA make you feel really comfortable and at ease and the support post course has been exceptional. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to train in skin and get into the beauty industry
Five-star Google review for MSTA from Amy Fairclough
Amy Fairclough left a five-star Google review for MSTA, Studio Glow: “I trained with MSTA in March 2025 after deciding it was time for me to take the leap. The training was literally the best week ive ever had professionally and reinforced that I was at the right place at the right time for me. Hollie, Zo and Olivia were just the best. Nothing was a silly question, nothing was too mych trouble and they were our biggest cheerleaders the whole weel through. We even had a little pop in video from the gorgeous Kirsty to top the week off. From the day I started to now the support from the girls at MSTA and Estiworld has been unbelievable. They have pushed me to develop my business and pushed me to personally grow in confidence too (which is a task to take on). Kirsty and Jordan have continually worked relentlessly to provide easy to follow, clear processes designed to help you be the best that you can be and the fact that they are so approachable allows you to feel comfortable when you wobble, drop the ball or even in times of crisis with clients. I'm so pleased that I chose to invest in myself with the support of MSTA and I cant wait to grasp every learning opportunity they provide for me and my beautiful, developing business. Thank you all so much xx

Jade Williams left a five-star Google review for MSTA, Haus of Skin: “MSTA is truly an amazing training academy - had an amazing week as a beginner learning all things skincare and building my skincare business. A full on and jam packed week, learning not just how to do a facial, but the science behind the benefits of each treatment for each client. I met the most amazing girls on the course, and Jemma, Zoe and Sophie were incredible educators. I started the week super nervous, but by the end I felt confident and knowledgable thanks to the girls at MSTA! And the support and training even after the course looks fantastic. Thank you so much girls

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Grace Apps
Grace Apps left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I am so pleased I was recommended MSTA because their training completely excels any other aesthetics/skin training I've received- it's even made me realise how poor and unregulated the standard aesthetics training is in comparison and how every training should be at the level MSTA provides. The coursework is detailed and accommodates for different ways of learning, the practical is professional and supportive and everyone has been so kind. Thank you to all at MSTA.

I feel confident to now carry out treatments in my own salon. Business was builder session was very useful and again Georgia was great answering our questions and recommendations for books and podcasts.

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Kate Drye
Kate Drye left a five-star Google review for MSTA, Skin Specialist Clinic: “I completed my training last year and as someone in my mid forties it took me ages to make this jump but I am so glad I did. I really enjoyed my week training and it was so lovely to spend time with people who were just as happy to chat all things skin all day long!! The support was great and I felt the course was thorough and detailed enough for me. I am an ACP in the NHS and wanted to expand my non clinical skin knowledge and bridge the gap between that and my clinical skills. It more than delivered on that front and the standard was high. The ongoing support and education has been fabulous also, if you are thinking about it, I really don't think you will regret it! Highly recommend!

At the time it felt like the beginning of something, but I could never have imagined how much it would shape my journey. Today I have my own little brand something that started as a dream and is now growing into a business I'm incredibly proud of. It continues to evolve, transform, and teach me every day. I'm so grateful for the guidance, the inspiration, and the confidence it gave me to believe that I could build something of my own. This is just the beginning, and I'm excited to watch my little business keep growing

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Sophia Raftery
Sophia Raftery left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I trained with MSTA back in June, after doing my research and coming to learn that they would be the best academy to train with. I had a call with Kirstie, who explained to me everything that the course had to offer and more, I instantly felt she wanted to help me pursue my ambition and I warmed to her straight away. On my course week, I had the best tutors who also shared an ambition to help myself and the other girls on my course achieve our goals and more. It's been just over a month since I left the course fully qualified, and I still have access to the best resources in the industry thanks to MSTA and have found myself in a community full of people who want to learn and achieve their goals together. Signing up to train with MSTA has been the making of my new start to which I am so grateful.

No question is a stupid question and you get so much support. The girls are so kind and thoughtful and make you feel so at ease! Making sure you leave with as much knowledge possible and continued support forever, with a great community! There is lots of training modules and studying to complete before the course date starts. To get you prepared in the best way possible. So you don't walk in, knowing nothing. Cant thank the girls enough

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Tracy Gardner
Tracy Gardner left a five-star Google review for MSTA, Faces Skin Clinic Liverpool: “Full disclosure, I've already reviewed MSTA when I first trained with them but that was over 3 years ago and so I felt it was worth an update! This company has grown from strength to strength and evolved over that time and has brought along all of its students with them.. they consistently offer trainees, both past and new, an unmatched level of ongoing support that I've never come across with any other business. Training with them genuinely grants you life long access to the team, a huge community, online resources, events, brands and more. They're always adding new (often free) training/webinars and offers to us in the community. It's genuinely like a big family cheering you on when things are going well and supporting you and lifting you up when you struggle.. you are only as good as your training so choose the best, and that's MSTA.

Ami Lloyd left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I debated booking a Model Standards course for over 12 months and my only regret is that I didn't book on sooner! The 5 day intense course is the perfect amount of time to master both the practical and theory sides of skincare. Nothing is too much trouble for the girls, every question is answered, they share all their inside tips and tricks and give you the tools to step out and start your own successful skin business. The support doesn't finish when the course ends, and the community they have built is amazing! Absolutely worth every penny

MSTA have given me the most incredible opportunity as no previous experience is required, just the passion for the industry. As a single mum I felt stuck with my career and the one week intense course was perfect to take that first step. They dont just teach you how to do treatments they teach you how to take care of your clients and meet their skin needs. They also teach you about building a business and they have created a great community and still support you after you qualify! It really has changed my life and now all the hours I put into my business are to create a better life for my little one and be present.

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Caitlin Gallacher
Caitlin Gallacher left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I've been on quite a few courses and I have to say MSTA has to be the best by a long way. Kirstie & Hollie both ran my 5 days of training and were both amazing! So lovely and inspiring. The number of people on the course is kept to a minimum which means you get the personal 1 on 1 training you need, whilst learning alongside other amazing girls; helping each other along the way. I've been on other courses before where I've felt too nervous to ask or answer questions, or as though my questions are stupid… but Kirstie & Hollie make you feel comfortable enough to ask whatever questions you have without any embarrassment. I've learnt so much and gained so much confidence because of this course and have gained a huge clientele since. My business is growing with the continued support from WhatsApp/ facebook groups with all the girls who have trained with MSTA and the amazing trainers themselves who are there 24/7 with continued support for any questions or advice needed. Thank you so much MSTA for helping me achieve my lifelong dream!

The course was structured perfectly, especially for us skin specialists already working in the industry - access to all online pre study for 4-6 weeks before the course to complete in your own time, then the full 5 days at the academy completing models, theory exams, portfolio and the practical exam.

Hannah Clarke left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “Literally the best week of my life. Cant put into words how thankful I am to have trained with Kirsty and the team. The week consists of theory, demos then putting it into practice. Being my first ever course and new to the skincare world I was so nervous, but by the end of the first day it was like second nature. The one thing that has stuck out is just the support. You would think that after a course you just get your certificate and leave that's it. Not with MSTA. Your placed within a group chat with the other angels and the team in which anything you need help with someone is there. Its nice to have shared the same training with the girls and to see everyone's progression. I'm proud to have trained with MSTA Team they are the best in the business!

The advice, let alone the information, throughout the course truly is priceless and their extensive experience really shines through. If you're thinking about it like I was, just go ahead and get it booked you won't look back it really has changed my life. Massive thank you to Kirsty and the team I couldn't be more grateful!

I can't thank Kirsty, Hollie and Lauren enough for how much they have taught me and how comfortable they made me feel. The course goes into so much detail both theory and practical to ensure you leave knowing everything and their knowledge is on another level! It was the best week ever I didn't want it to end!! Thanks so much girls xx

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Isobel Jewell
Isobel Jewell left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I completed my skincare course with MSTA Training Academy back in October and honestly couldn't recommend them enough! The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Caitlin, Zoe, Jemma and Georgia were all so supportive, knowledgeable and genuinely encouraging throughout the training. They created such a comfortable learning environment where no question felt silly, and they really took the time to make sure everyone felt confident. A special thank you to Georgia, who really helped me when I was doubting myself – her encouragement meant so much and made a huge difference to my confidence. If you're thinking about doing a course, I would 100% recommend MSTA. Such a positive, professional and empowering experience!

MSTA is more like a family, the support you get not only during the training but after is unreal they are always there to help you with whatever.

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Jennifer Bulll
Jennifer Bulll left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “MSTA has completely changed my life! I loved every single second of the course and have created my own clinic at home. I trained in September and I am already gaining steady clients. I was telling my husband last week how I constantly used to think about what I would do differently if I 'had my time again', but I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart, this is the first time in my life where I feel like I wouldn't have done ANYTHING differently because I'm finally here. I took the leap, did the course and it has completely re-wired my brain and my goals. I can't tell you how liberating it is to know where I'm actually headed for once. If you have a passion for the industry like I always did and you're on the fence, please take my very own advice and just do it. Put YOU first, do the course, make friends with all the girls and do not look back. I am so thankful, grateful, and proud of myself for believing in myself and taking the step; it brings about fulfilment and satisfaction I never really thought I would have. Love Hollie, Kirsty and Liv; they have continued to support me even after the course and are always there to answer questions. Best thing I have EVER done for myself xxxxx

Jessica Jones left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I HAD THE BEST WEEK EVER!!! This course has been life changing not just for me, but my family too. This course has given me a chance to do something I'm truly passionate about. I'm honestly so sad that the course has ended. But I'm SO excited to get stuck in and start my skincare business. I've honestly had the most amazing time. The girls made you feel so comfortable from start to finish. The skills and knowledge you learn on this course are second to non. I feel so confident to carry out the treatments and I've had gained so much useful information. Kirsty, Olivia and Hollie are your gals to go to if you're wanting to learn everything there is to know about skin. They are so helpful and answer any questions you may have. I feel like I've come away from this course feeling really excited and positive for what's to come from now and into the future. Thank you so much again for this opportunity. MSTA is literally the best in the business and the place to go to if you're wanting to start your business in skincare! I'm so happy I took that step and went on to do this course! X

Katie Holbrook left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “A great week of training at MSTA. A place where girls can feel empowered & gain knowledge on all aspects of skin & business. Support is offered even after the course has finished and we all have each other there to help if needed. The theory is in depth & allows you to gain confidence to start on clients, Hollie was fantastic throughout the course & Kirsty is super knowledgable. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to specialise in dermaplaning, chemical peels & Microneedling! A really fun Instagram day as well, lots of tips & advice.

Laura left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I cannot recommend MSTA enough, I trained with them last year in Liverpool - the trainers were fantastic, so knowledgeable and lovely too. The main thing is the aftercare - the support after you finish the course is unreal! Having access to a community 24/7, having online webinars every week - especially the business coaching calls have been absolutely essential to my new career being a success. Also somewhere to ask questions and get advice is so nice when you're new to the industry. Best decision I ever made!!
Five-star Google review for MSTA from Leila ONeill
Leila ONeill left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I was so anxious to start this course but that was quickly put to ease by all the MSTA girls. All the girls were so welcoming, supportive and attentive. The course is very intense and you definitely cover a lot in such a short period of time but the girls are so supportive and reassure you every step of the way. If you're thinking about it, go for it and get booked in. Worth every penny and would highly recommend
Five-star Google review for MSTA from Linzie Dunning
Linzie Dunning left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I have always been interested in the beauty industry particularly skin but having never done anything before in this sector, being in my 30s and having a toddler I thought a career change like this would only work for "someone else" Eventually I plunked up the courage, decided to be brave and do something for myself for once and my god was it the best thing I have ever done. The course was really informative, I actually didn't think I would learn as much as I did in the 5 days if I am honest it but the course and the girls out do themselves! The support from Kirsty, Liv & Hollie during and after is amazing and its so lovely to have a support group with the other MSTA Skin Angels on hand at the drop of a text. My business is growing at a steady pace, far quicker than I expected and with continued hard work am so excited to see where I am in a years time
Five-star Google review for MSTA from Lisa White
Lisa White left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “Fourteen months ago, I had 5 star training from MSTA. The support I still receive from them is incredible, and I am so grateful. I work in my clinic the other days and have cut down my workdays to three. I will never be able to express my gratitude for the freedom this has given me. It's all because of MSTA that I love my work as a skin specialist. My life has changed, and I am grateful to Kirsty, Lauren, and Holly for that.
Five-star Google review for MSTA from Maria Murphy
Maria Murphy left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “To this day I still count myself extremely lucky to have been able to be trained by the best. I knew straight away when picking the course with MSTA that it was for me. The support given from the moment I downloaded the brochure, all the way through the course and afterwards has been incredible. I still feel to this day that they are on the end of the phone if I was to ever need them. They have created not just a fantastic course but also a community of likeminded business women who support one another. Each day of my course was packed with so much knowledge, questions, answers and practical training. Kirsty, Olivia and Hollie made me feel so at home and at ease especially when everything was so new to me. The in depth aspect of the training helped me leave the course with so much confidence and love for my new chapter. It was honestly the best week. I can't thank MSTA enough for everything they did that week and what they continue to do to this day.

So glad I booked with MSTA. The main reason they stood out to me was because of the support they offer after the course. I would definitely consider going back to them for future courses. A*

Absolutely loved it and the girls who taught us are the most gorgeous lovely teachers who made us feel so at home and there teaching was amazing! I wasn't sure if I was going to feel confident enough after only 5 days but I promise you know you really do feel like you know what you are doing by the end of it! I also love that we are all in a WhatsApp group with everyone who did the course plus the girls from MSTA if you ever need help someone is always on hand to answer, and always fab to see what other people experience, feel like I've learnt a lot from just being in that group! If you are thinking of doing this course then just do it! You won't regret it xxx

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Sophie Stephens
Sophie Stephens left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “Life changing! I have always been interested in skin/ skincare/ treatments/ beauty but never in a million years did I think I would have the confidence to not only deliver these treatments but run my own business too!! Until I came across MSTA - I followed their instagram for a while and was hooked from the start but lurked in the background wondering whether this could be my reality. Then one day the stars aligned and for many, many reasons I took the plunge and signed myself up! For starts, I can tell you that I wished I had done this course sooner. What a wonderful opportunity this has been for me, it has allowed me to go part time in my current job (which is a world away from anything beauty!) and I know eventually I will leave it completely having been given the confidence that I can achieve anything when I put my mind to it. MSTA is so friendly and helpful and professional - the support after the course has been invaluable too! I just simply cannot put into words how grateful I am! If you are in two minds….I promise you will not regret this decision…..go for it!

Five-star Google review for MSTA from Sophie Stewart
Sophie Stewart left a five-star Google review for MSTA: “I trained with MSTA in October 2023 and it has completely changed my life for the better. Being a complete newbie to the industry and wanting the best possible training I researched for months for different academy's and NONE could offer what MSTA could. Every minor detail was covered in the course, you leave feeling confident on each treatment and how to help different client's skin needs. Even after you qualify you receive lifelong support through the amazing MSTA Angel community so you never feel alone. Thank you to MSTA for giving me the opportunity to change my life for the better and allowing me to be my own boss
