An Interactive Learning Experience
We use Moodle LMS. A personal development plan will automatically contribute to a portfolio of all the learning activities the learner has undertaken. It assists the tutor and enables the learner to track their learning and development and show how their skills and knowledge have developed over a set period of time.
CPD Accredited Courses
The majority of our advanced courses are accredited by a leading independent CPD accreditation institution, the Centre for CPD Excellence. This means that the accredited courses we offer have been independently scrutinized to ensure integrity and quality.
CPD Accredited Trainers
The CPD Group and National qualifications verify our credibility as tutors and trainers, and demonstrate that we have all the credentials to deliver excellent high standard of CPD learning.
Digital Open Badges
Open Badges is the leading standard for digital credentials originally developed by Mozilla and now managed by IMS Global Learning Consortium®. It's now a popular and widely-adopted standard used by many organisations involved in skills, education and training. Through Open Badges we can offer a credible tool to assess competencies, validate prior-learning, support professional development, and create motivating and engaging recognition systems for achievements.
Who can attend the courses?
We are a New Zealand based company. Those who have undertaken beauty therapy at Level 4 or higher, nurses, dentists and medical doctors can enroll in our courses. Some course may have prerequisites. Please don't hesitate to contact us prior to enrolling in a course, should any doubt arise.
How long will it take to complete each course?
Courses are accredited anything from 4 to 20 Hours of CPD learning and the learner will have access to course materials up to 6 months. Additional special consideration for extension can be granted for a course where extraordinary circumstances prevent the learner from completing the course.
What will you learn from the courses?
The course aims to ensure that you the learner understands the basics of health & safety and anatomy & physiology of the treatment. The online theory covers the treatment background, benefits, consultation and contra-indications, potential side-effects, aftercare and equipment, and products required to perform the treatment.
Do I need to buy textbooks or any training accessories?
The fees include all training materials, including eTextbooks, journal articles, apps, online content, diagrams, videos, interactive instructions, quizzes and accessories as needed.
Are courses accredited and will I receive a certificate?
Online course certificates will state online course and can be given on completion of reading, watching videos and assessing the online materials. Most of our courses offer an option to engage in a blended learning experience and are accredited with the CPD Centre of Excellence. Learners will get certificates and digital badges from all these courses after completing the online modules and/or hands-on workshops.
What information is contained within an Open Badge?
Open Badges include information on the organisation or individual who issued the badge; the criteria that the badge has been assessed against, evidence, when the badge was issued, a verifiable reference to the recipient and a number of other optional properties. Some badges contain links to detailed evidence, expiry dates, tags and alignments to learning outcomes or standards.
How to log in to your course.
As a learner you will have received your username and password in an email of acknowledgement when you enrolled. Log in directly on the DermaLearn Moodle site at https://dermalearn.moodlecloud.com/login, enter your username, and click the "Open ID Connect" button.
Who can I contact for help or support?
If you receive an error "user id not found", it can be a conflicting Microsoft account or Edge browser, try using incognito/private browsing mode or switched to a different browser e.g. Firefox. If any technical difficulties persist or questions arise, the learner may contact the customer team info@dermalogistics.co.nz. Tutors will also be regularly available online during normal office hours to assist with course related issues.
Do you offer finance, or can I pay in installments?
We believe training to be a significant financial commitment so we help as much as we can to ensure the fees are not a burden to the learner. We accept payments via various methods.
What is the refund policy?
The refund policy states that once a learner has logged in or gains access to the course, a refund cannot be provided for the online component of the course. If the learner has purchased a course, hasn't signed into the website yet and then decides to withdraw, they should contact us to help recoup any available fees.
