Eyelash Extension Training FAQs – Saint Benedict’s Beauty & Lash Academy Norwich
Thinking about becoming a qualified lash technician?
At Saint Benedict’s Beauty & Lash Academy in Norwich, Norfolk, we specialise in ABT-accredited eyelash extension training for beginners and beauty professionals.
We’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions about our lash courses, qualifications, practical training and starting a career in the beauty industry.
Can I become a lash technician without beauty qualifications?
Yes! Our beginner eyelash extension courses are designed for people with no previous beauty qualifications or lash experience.
You’ll learn essential theory, lash health and safety, application techniques and professional client care before completing your practical assessments.
Are your eyelash extension courses accredited?
Yes. Our beginner eyelash extension training is accredited by ABT (Associated Beauty Therapists).
Accreditation means the course has been reviewed against the accrediting body’s requirements. Students should still check their chosen insurer’s eligibility criteria before offering treatments professionally.
How long does it take to become a qualified lash technician?
Our beginner training combines flexible home-study theory with a three-hour practical session at our Norwich academy.
After practical training, students complete three case studies, which must be assessed and approved before certification.
The total time to qualify depends on how quickly you complete your theory and case studies.
What types of eyelash extensions will I learn?
Our beginner course covers three popular techniques:
Classic Lashes: Applying one extension to an individual natural lash for a defined, natural-looking result.
Hybrid Lashes: Combining Classic extensions with Volume fans to create a textured, fuller appearance.
Russian Volume Lashes: Applying lightweight fans of extensions to suitable natural lashes to create additional fullness.
You’ll also learn about lash lengths, curls, thicknesses, mapping and safe application techniques.
Is a professional lash kit included?
Yes! Our beginner eyelash extension course includes a professional lash kit to support your training and initial practice.
Your kit is provided on the day of your practical session, so you don’t need to purchase your own training kit beforehand.
Do I need to bring my own model?
A live model is required for practical training.
We can help arrange a model if needed, or you may be able to provide your own. Please confirm your model arrangements with the academy before your training date.
Can I get insurance after completing my lash course?
Once you’ve successfully completed your training and received your certificate, you can apply for professional eyelash extension treatment insurance.
Insurance approval depends on your chosen provider, the treatments covered and its individual requirements.
We recommend confirming eligibility with your insurer before accepting paying clients.
Can I start my own lash business after qualifying?
Our beginner training is designed to provide the foundations for starting your lash career.
Once qualified, appropriately insured and compliant with any applicable business and local authority requirements, you may be able to offer lash services from a salon, suitable home-based treatment space or other professional setting.
Where is Saint Benedict’s Beauty & Lash Academy located?
Our academy is based in Norwich, Norfolk, making it accessible to students from Norwich and surrounding areas.
We welcome students who want to develop their lash skills in a supportive, practical training environment.
