Kolaine · Kettering
Professional training in electrolysis, blemish removal, microneedling and laser
Learn from a practitioner who does this work every day. Kolaine Farr teaches Advanced Cosmetic Procedures, Electrolysis Hair Removal, microneedling and laser hair removal in association with Jane Bryan Beauty Training, with small-group, hands-on courses at her training locations, including her Kettering clinic. Dates are available on enquiry.
Why train with Kolaine
Taught by a working specialist. Kolaine Farr has worked in the beauty industry for more than 21 years and qualified in advanced electrolysis in 2011. She holds a Level 4 Advanced Cosmetic Procedures qualification and a PTTLS teaching qualification, co-founded Blemish Pro, and runs an award-winning clinic. You learn the techniques, the judgement and the client-handling that come from a busy treatment room, not a classroom.
Real clients, real skin. Practical days are run with live models, so you treat a variety of blemishes and hair types under direct supervision. Hands-on availability for specific blemish types depends on suitable models on the day.
Structured courses. Courses combine theory with supervised practical training and, where required, post-course case studies. Accreditation, certification and entry requirements for each course are set out in its current course details.
Support that continues. Case-study feedback and ongoing support after the course, so your first solo treatments are not your first without help.

Who the courses are for
Our courses are for practitioners who already hold the qualifications each course requires. Entry requirements vary between courses and are set out on each course page on Jane Bryan Beauty Training’s website, together with equipment guidance, case-study submission deadlines and CPD information. We ask for copies of your certificates before a place is confirmed. If you are unsure, ask before booking and we will tell you.
About the certification
All our courses are run in association with Jane Bryan Beauty Training and accredited through ThinkTree. On successful completion of each course you receive a certificate of completion; CPD information for each course is on its course page. Kolaine’s training insurance is held with Insync. Students must check with their chosen insurer that the course and resulting qualification meet their cover requirements before booking. These are not Ofqual-regulated qualifications. If you need a regulated Level 4 qualification, Jane Bryan Beauty Training offers a separate Focus Awards Level 4 pathway; we are happy to point you in the right direction. Certification for the microneedling and laser hair removal courses is set out in their current course details.
Training locations
Courses run at Kolaine, The Rear Barn, Glendon Lodge Farm, Glendon, Kettering, Northamptonshire, NN14 1QF, and at Kolaine’s other training locations. Dates and venues are available on enquiry.
Frequently asked questions
I am a beauty therapist. Am I eligible?
Entry requirements vary between courses and are set out on each course page on Jane Bryan Beauty Training’s website. Send us your certificates and we will confirm.
How big are the groups?
Small, with a maximum of eight students. Every student gets direct supervision on the practical days.
What happens after the practical days?
You complete your case studies in your own clinic or salon, submit them for feedback, and receive your certificate once they are signed off. Support is available throughout. Please allow two weeks for marking once you have submitted your case studies.
Can I do just the practical days?
No. The home-study theory is completed before the practical days and the case studies afterwards; all three are required for certification.
When are the next courses?
Dates are available on enquiry. Courses run at Kolaine in Kettering and at other training locations; get in touch and we will let you know current availability.
How do I pay for a course?
Contact us for current availability and payment options. Prices and booking details for each course are shown in its current course details.
Is this the same as Blemish Pro?
No. Blemish Pro is a supplementary membership platform for practitioners who are already qualified. It is not training and does not provide a qualification. Find out more on the Blemish Pro page.
