Learn professional lash lift and tint, online and in the Academy
Our Lash Lift and Tint Blended Learning Short Course at Cedars Training Academy is designed to provide learners with the essential knowledge, practical skills and confidence to carry out professional lash lift and tint treatments.
Combining the flexibility of online learning with hands-on practical training, this course allows you to complete the underpinning theory at your own pace before attending our Academy for a focused, tutor-led practical session.
You'll learn how to enhance the appearance of natural eyelashes through professional lifting and tinting techniques, creating the appearance of longer, darker and more defined lashes without the need for eyelash extensions.
The course also covers essential health and safety practices, client consultation, contraindications, patch testing, treatment procedures and aftercare advice.
Anyone receiving a Lash Lift or Tint treatment during practical training, including learners and external models, must attend Cedars Training Academy in person for a compulsory patch test (approximately 5 minutes) at least 48 hours before the practical training date. This is a separate visit, it cannot be completed on the day of the course, and it must be arranged in advance. Please make sure you can attend before you book.

However, depending on group size and the suitability of learners practising on each other, you may be required to arrange your own model to attend the practical training session.
All individuals receiving treatment during the practical session must attend the Academy for patch testing at least 48 hours beforehand. This includes external models and learners who will be receiving treatments from one another. The Academy will confirm the necessary arrangements ahead of your course.
Patch testing
For the safety of all learners and models, patch testing is a compulsory requirement for anyone receiving a Lash Lift or Tint treatment during practical training. All learners and any models receiving treatment must attend Cedars Training Academy in person for a patch test at least 48 hours before their scheduled practical training date.
- Compulsory Academy attendance: Learners and any models receiving treatment must attend the Academy for their patch test before the practical training day. Patch testing cannot be completed on the day of the course.
- Minimum 48-hour requirement: Patch testing must take place at least 48 hours before the practical training session, or earlier where required by the product manufacturer's instructions.
- Pre-treatment consultation: All individuals receiving treatment must complete the necessary consultation and disclose any relevant allergies, sensitivities, previous reactions or medical conditions that may affect treatment suitability.
- Treatment suitability: Anyone who experiences an adverse reaction or is identified as unsuitable for treatment will not be permitted to receive the affected treatment.
- Model arrangements: Where an external model is required, they must also attend the Academy for patch testing at least 48 hours before the practical training date.
- Failure to complete patch testing: Anyone who has not completed the required patch test within the specified timeframe will not be permitted to receive the treatment during the practical session. This may affect the learner's ability to complete their practical assessment as scheduled.
Arranging your patch test
We'll contact you ahead of your course to confirm the arrangements for your compulsory patch test, including when you and any required models will need to attend. Please ensure you are available to attend the Academy for this additional 5 minute appointment before booking your course. If you are arranging an external model, please do not confirm their attendance for the practical training day until the Academy has advised you of the necessary patch-testing arrangements.
Important: Patch testing is a mandatory safety requirement and must be completed before practical treatment can take place. A satisfactory patch test does not guarantee that a reaction cannot occur, and all treatments remain subject to consultation and suitability checks.
