TrichoCare Education

TrichoCare Education: regulated trichology training for hair professionals

TrichoCare Education is a training provider based in London that delivers courses and qualifications in trichology. Its offering is presented as the only regulated trichology qualification in the UK and is designed specifically for hair, beauty and medical professionals who wish to expand their practice into the diagnosis and treatment of scalp and hair problems.

The company describes itself as the largest provider of regulated qualifications in trichology and, in its presentation, notes that as such it is bound by regulators to maintain the highest standards in its training. The regulated qualification is presented as a guarantee of the quality of its programmes.

Trichology courses and qualification

TrichoCare Education's catalogue is built around trichology courses designed and managed exclusively by the organisation itself. The stated aim is for professionals to be able to turn their existing knowledge into a new career as an accredited trichologist in practice, that is, as a hair and scalp specialist.

The training leads to an internationally recognised qualification, according to the company's presentation. The courses are intended for those already working in hairdressing, barbering, beauty or health who want to incorporate trichology into their professional practice.

Clinical and diagnostic approach

TrichoCare Education's training approach is based on clinical practice in trichology. The organisation maintains that most common hair and scalp disorders can be treated through accurate scientific diagnosis, without the need for complicated courses of treatment. This principle guides both the teaching and the professional activity of its leaders.

The company stresses that hair loss is not only a cosmetic condition but also a physiological and psychological one, and that offering advice, treatment and support to clients suffering from hair disorders has a significant impact on their wellbeing.

Teaching team and origins

TrichoCare Education was founded by Brian Plunkett ART, who ran salons in Hertfordshire before qualifying as a consultant trichologist. Plunkett is a former vice chairman of the Institute of Trichologists and practises at clinics in Bedfordshire and London.

Students are supported by a faculty of professionally experienced tutors and qualified trichologists, who provide encouragement, advice and mentorship throughout the period of study.

Infection prevention

In addition to trichology courses, the organisation offers resources on infection prevention. These materials are aimed at hairdressing, barbering and beauty teams, and bring together recommendations and solutions for working safely and preventing the spread of infection.

Reach and training links

Based in London, TrichoCare Education has well-established training links with further education colleges in various countries. The company presents itself as an experienced provider of trichology education and its regulated qualification is aimed at those seeking an internationally recognised accreditation.
