Learn to deliver EMS muscle sculpting safely, honestly and professionally. This blended course teaches high intensity electromagnetic technology with radio frequency on two named machines, the EMSzero and the WL-EMT80S, with the emphasis on who should not be treated, what the treatment can honestly achieve, and what you may and may not say to a client.

How it works
The course is 12 hours: 8 hours of home learning in this academy, then a 4 hour practical day, 10:00 to 14:00, in the clinic at 26 The Avenue, Southampton. Your written assessment is marked on the practical day, where you treat models with your trainer beside you and are observed on your final model. Your certificate, naming the machine you trained on, is issued on the practical day once the written assessment, the practical observation and your case study records are all complete. Home learning alone does not complete the course.
