Sargent Training is a family-run training provider that qualifies experienced practitioners to teach, assess and quality-assure training in the hair, beauty and aesthetics industries. Emma and Tony Sargent founded Sargent Training to deliver regulated Education and Training qualifications from Level 3 through to Level 5, alongside Assessor and Internal Quality Assurance qualifications.
Sargent Training is a partner of CosmediCheck, the independent verification platform for trusted cosmetic and medical professionals in the UK and Ireland, founded in 2022 by Joe Porter.

Level 3 Award in Education and Training Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training Level 5 Diploma in Teaching Level 3 Assessor qualifications Level 4 Internal Quality Assurance qualifications

Who are Sargent Training's courses for?
Sargent Training's courses are for hair, beauty and aesthetics professionals who want to progress into education, training, assessment or quality assurance.
The company supports learners at every stage, from practitioners preparing to teach their first course to established educators gaining higher-level qualifications, becoming assessors, moving into further education, or developing their own regulated training centre.
Many Sargent Training learners are balancing busy clinics, businesses and families. The training is flexible and led by experienced educators who stay involved throughout the learner's journey.
What makes Sargent Training different from other educator training providers?
Sargent Training is family-run and founder-led, which means learners are taught by the same experienced educators throughout their qualification rather than passed between assessors.
Learners receive personalised guidance, clear feedback and practical support throughout. The teaching focuses on applying educational theory within the learner's own specialist industry, rather than completing assignments to gain a certificate.
Whether a learner is completing a Level 3 teaching qualification, progressing through Levels 4 and 5, becoming a qualified assessor or moving into internal quality assurance, Sargent Training covers both the qualification itself and the professional responsibilities that come with it.
Why did Sargent Training partner with CosmediCheck?
Sargent Training partnered with CosmediCheck because both organisations work to improve safety, transparency, credibility and professional standards in the aesthetics industry.
Quality treatments begin with quality education. Practitioners should be able to demonstrate that the people teaching, assessing and quality-assuring their training are appropriately qualified and working to recognised standards.
CosmediCheck, the independent verification platform for trusted cosmetic and medical professionals in the UK and Ireland, founded in 2022 by Joe Porter, provides greater transparency for the public and the wider industry. Sargent Training's mission is to raise standards through professional, regulated and properly quality-assured education.
We do not simply provide a qualification. We help practitioners become confident, credible and professional educators.
