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

Experiment with new techniques and products as you find your signature style and perfect popular and trending looks.

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 and Makeup courses are portfolio based; giving you the chance to build up a catalogue of what you can offer.

We offer VTCT qualifications, widely recognised qualifications giving you the certification you need to practice.

From Nail Technology and LED Gel Polish Techniques to Lash Extensions and Beauty Specialist Techniques; see our course list to discover what you could learn today.
