Training Solutions Group, Salon System Appointed Training Provider are urging members during this period of uncertainty to undertake the MASCED (Melanoma and Skin Cancer Early Detection) accreditation programme. Recognised training endorsed by BABTAC, HABIA and NHBF – worth 2 CPD points, this online training programme, developed by national skin cancer charity SKCIN, provides hair and beauty industry professionals with the tools and resources to learn how to spot the early signs of skin cancer and confidently signpost clients to seek appropriate action.
As hair and beauty professionals, we see our clients on a regular basis and are therefore perfectly placed to observe changes that may occur on their skin, particularly in areas they can’t see themselves. This puts us an invaluable position. By taking the time to learn how to identify suspicious lesions, we can detect the early signs of skin cancer and advise our client(s) to take action. This could prevent our clients from disfigurement through surgery and in the case of spotting melanoma early, we could even prevent their death!
Please join the MASCED community and register at masced.uk. The course costs £20 and Training Solutions Group students can take advantage of a 10% discount using the following voucher code: TRAININGSOLCON2020. All money derived from the training is ploughed back into the charity to support their work.
Please contact Nykki at Training Solutions on mailto:nykki@uktrainingsolutions.co.uk for further information.
