Course Overview

This fully accredited 1-day intensive Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) training has been carefully designed to provide students with the practical skills, clinical knowledge and confidence required to safely perform professional lymphatic drainage treatments.

Unlike traditional classroom-based courses, our academy uses a blended learning approach.

Before attending your practical training day, students are required to complete our mandatory online Pre-Learning Portal, allowing you to study the theory in advance at your own pace. This means your in-person training can focus on practical application, hands-on experience and developing confidence under expert guidance.

During your practical training day, you will refine your techniques through live demonstrations, supervised practical sessions and individual feedback to ensure you feel confident treating paying clients.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is one of the beauty industry's fastest-growing treatments, helping clients reduce fluid retention, bloating and puffiness while improving circulation and supporting overall wellness—making it an excellent addition to any treatment menu.

Training is delivered in small groups to ensure every student receives personalised support throughout the day.

Mandatory Pre-Learning Portal

To ensure every student arrives fully prepared, completion of the online Pre-Learning Portal is mandatory before attending the practical training day.

The portal includes comprehensive theory covering topics such as:

• Health & Safety
• Anatomy & Physiology
• The Lymphatic System
• Contraindications
• Client Consultation
• Treatment Theory
• Hygiene & Infection Control
• Business & Professional Standards

Students can complete the lessons in their own time before the course, allowing more time for practical learning on the training day.

Failure to complete the Pre-Learning Portal before your course may result in your practical training being postponed.

Small Group Training

To maintain exceptionally high training standards, this course is limited to a maximum of 2 students per training day, London training has a capacity of 6.

This allows for:

• Individual coaching throughout practical sessions

We intentionally keep class sizes small to maximise every student's learning experience.
