Model Standards Skincare Training Academy (MSTA)

MSTA (Model Standards Skincare Training Academy) is a medic-led skincare training academy in Liverpool, founded by Kirsty Stevenson. As a VTCT-approved centre, we deliver Ofqual-regulated qualifications from Level 2 to Level 6, taking complete beginners through to advanced skincare professionals. Training covers facials, chemical peels, microneedling, dermaplaning, LED light therapy and advanced aesthetic treatments, taught hands-on in small groups by educators who still treat clients every week. The academy grew out of the Model Standards skincare clinic, founded in 2014, and has trained more than 1,000 students, helping to launch over 500 skincare careers across the UK.
