Expand the services you can offer, one treatment at a time

Our individual unit courses are a great way to expand the range of services you can offer clients. Not only can you perfect your trade, but we’ll teach you the essential health & safety training and business skills you need to professionally offer treatments.

Share your passion and creativity

On our Beauty & Aesthetics courses, you will have the opportunity to take part in enrichment workshops, such as spray tanning, lash extensions, Eve Taylor facial skin care products, gel polish and exciting trips to industry exhibitions or competitions at a national level including World Skills UK.

Our busy salons are open to the public, giving you the professional experience that you need to confidently take on new clients. Throughout your course, you’ll learn through real-life scenarios and practice as you provide treatments for clients in our salons. We’ll teach you not only how to deliver the right treatment, but also how to make sure your clients leave looking and feeling their best.

Expand your portfolio

Most of our Beauty & Aesthetics courses are portfolio based; giving you the chance to build up a catalogue of treatments that you can offer.

We offer VTCT qualifications, leaders in the industry, giving you the certification and confidence you need to practise safely with experience behind you, especially given likely changes in legislation.

From Level 2 Beauty Specialist Techniques and Nail Technology to Level 3 Beauty incorporating Massage Therapies and Facial Electrics like microdermabrasion and non-surgical facelift.

For those interested in entering the exciting and growing world of Aesthetics, why not consider the fast-track route of Level 3 Entry to Aesthetics, followed by any of our new Level 4 industry must haves, for example Laser and Light Hair Reduction, IPL Skin Rejuvenation, Skin Peeling, Skin Needling or Radiofrequency.
