QUESTIONS & ANSWERS FOR STUDENTS
Question - "How do I become a GW Facial Therapy® Member and can I then call myself a GW Facial Therapist?"
Answer - To ensure the quality, authenticity and integrity of GW Facial Therapy® treatments, we have established the following policy for the benefit of all our GW Facial Therapists. In order to claim to be a GW Facial Therapist , individuals must successfully complete an in-person GW course with an authorised GW Trainer and remain a GW Member.
Discounts are also available for Members for future courses they may wish to attend. For reference purposes Members must maintain a Membership subscription to the online GW Members Resource Library. Payments for the $33 monthly Membership subscription and training may be tax-deductible for your business. You can cancel your membership subscription anytime.
​
Question - "Is there a restriction on what I can charge clients for a GW Facial Therapy® treatment?"
Answer - No restrictions. You can charge what you like. We have proven $110 to $130 an hour is very acceptable, and some GW Facial Therapists do charge more.
Question - "As a member of another association, will I need to join IICT as well? I already have insurance and haven't been able to check if they will insure GW Facial Therapy® or not?"
Answer - No you don't need to belong to the IICT to be a GW Facial Therapist™. In regard to IICT Therapist Insurance - this benefit is really for start-ups/new businesses/people who don’t already have insurance for a similar treatment which would cover these additional techniques. If you do need therapist insurance, as an IICT member you can apply through the IICT. IICT have a relationship with an insurance company. If needed insurance may be available to an individual by applying through IICT, if they have completed and hold the Gorgeous Woman Japanese Facial Rejuvenation® Completed Certificate. This is possible because GW Facial Therapy® is recognised as a training provider and modality by the IICT.
Existing Therapist insurance - Because the GW Facial Therapy® techniques are natural facial techniques, although we can’t guarantee it as insurance companies can be tricky, you would expect that existing insurance for facial massage treatments may cover the therapist.
​
Do I receive a Certificate?
Answer - Yes you will receive a Completed Certificate for each course you attend except for the Gorgeous Woman Japanese Facial Rejuvenation® course which has different requirements. For this course you will receive an Attended Certificate on the second day of the Gorgeous Woman Japanese Facial Rejuvenation® course. To receive a Completed Certificate there are additional steps you can take, which are not difficult. See below -
The process includes -
1. attending the Gorgeous Woman Japanese Facial Rejuvenation® two-day training course,
2. completing a self-correcting 20-question theory questionnaire and
3. performing 12 practical treatments on friends, clients, or family members. Use the form in the GW Members Resource Library.
Then submit this information to your State trainer to receive your 'Completed Certificate'.
For IICT insurance
Should you need IICT insurance you will need the Gorgeous Woman Japanese Facial Rejuvenation® 'Completed' Certificate. Present the 'Completed Certificate' with your insurance application to the IICT.. They will then consider your application at their discretion.
