Sugaring is having it's moment, and it's only just getting started. There's no dominant brand in the UK or Ireland yet, no household name people reach for the way they do with waxing, which means there's real space for the people teaching it to shape what comes next. If you've thought about moving from doing sugaring to teaching it, here's what that path actually looks like.
Your course itself runs under School of Sugaring, that's the teaching brand your students enrol with and where your certification comes from. Radeq Lab sits behind it as your accredited product partner, which is what unlocks the discounts, the dual accreditation, and the visibility that come with the badge.
Why become an educator
Teaching changes your relationship with sugaring completely. Instead of being one more therapist offering the same treatments as everyone else, you become the person others come to for the skill itself. It's a genuine step up, both in how you're seen in the industry and in what you can charge for your time.
As a Radeq Lab authorised educator teaching under School of Sugaring, you're not doing this in isolation either. You get brand recognition through being featured on our social channels, association with Radeq Lab as a global brand, and product discounts for both you and your students. It's a partnership, not just a certificate on a wall.
What we look for
We keep the bar meaningful because your students deserve an educator who genuinely knows what they're doing.
A minimum of six months' hands-on sugaring experience. This isn't about ticking a box, it's about having done enough real client work to have met the awkward areas, the tricky skin types, and the moments that don't go to plan in a lesson demo. That's what actually makes someone teachable material into someone who can teach.
An AET qualification (Award in Education and Training). This is the recognised teaching qualification that proves you can actually deliver training, not just perform a treatment well. Knowing how to sugar and knowing how to teach someone else to sugar are two different skills, and the AET is where you build the second one properly.
If you've got the sugaring hours in but not the AET yet, that's a completely normal starting point. Plenty of brilliant technicians haven't needed to think about teaching qualifications before now, it's just the next step, not a dealbreaker.
What accreditation gives you
Once you're an authorised Radeq Lab educator teaching under School of Sugaring, here's what's included:
Feature spots across our social channels, so your name and your training get in front of an audience actively looking for sugaring education.
Association with Radeq Lab as a global, prebiotic-formula brand, which gives your course credibility with students who are doing their research before they spend money on training.
Discounted product for you and for your students, so the range you teach with is the same range they can affordably build their own kit from once they're certified.
Getting started
If you've got the experience and the AET, or you're working towards either one, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a message and we can talk through where you're at and what dual accreditation would look like for you specifically.
No pressure either way, but if you've been sitting on the idea of teaching, this is genuinely a good time to be moving into it. Sugaring's awareness is still low across the UK and Ireland, and that gap is exactly the opportunity.
