Pastiche Resources are an internationally recognised provider of quality educational resources designed specifically for the development of individuals who work within the professional skin care industry.

The evolution or divergence of the traditional beauty therapy industry into the areas of aesthetic therapies and corrective therapies has required that individuals wishing to transition toward the area of corrective therapies to significantly up skill and re-educate themselves in order to be credible and
effective.
Founded in 1994, Pastiche Resources recognised that even the most advanced beauty therapy curriculum's were (and still are) out of date in terms of practical knowledge and skills to effectively diagnose and treat many skin conditions that clients suffered.
To this end, programs were developed to provide generic education and resources covering a myriad of subjects that allow the aspiring beauty therapist and aesthetician a path to becoming a professional skin treatment therapist.
Since 1994, thousands of beauty therapists and aestheticians from around the world have benefited from post graduate education provided by Pastiche. 
More recently, a new market has emerged where physicians and practice nurses are moving in to the lucrative field of Medical Aesthetics, and Pastiche is proud to be able to provide specialist programs that update their knowledge to allow them to enter this market with confidence.

While Pastiche are recognised as a generic education provider, we enjoy working with progressive collectives, associations and skin care companies who share the Pastiche philosophy of developing professional skin care in to a paramedical sphere.

To this end we can present educational programs that are tailored to the individual philosophy and direction of many organisations.
The strategic advantage is that non-product related technical education could be provided by a third party with an international reputation of technical excellence.

Other benefits of employing Pastiche programs are increased credibility of your organisation as a quality education provider with a progressive perception that attracts prospective members and clients. It can offer more revenue opportunities by providing advanced information technology your competitors do not have.
