The course involves a considerable amount of practical work, alongside employer involvement. There will be masterclasses set up by employers throughout the learning programme.
During workshop sessions you will watch demonstrations of skills, which you will then practice on each other before progressing to work on paying clients. You will also receive separate lessons in theory, anatomy and physiology which will help to develop your knowledge and understanding of all aspects of Beauty Therapy.
Practical assessments are externally set by the awarding organisation and internally marked. Candidates will be able to identify and use effective skills, knowledge and understanding from across the unit’s content area and will be judged against the unit grading criteria. You will always need to be in full uniform and carry your kit to all practical classes. You are required to keep a record of achievement log book as evidence of treatments performed. Exams will be externally set and marked. You are also required to do two weeks of work experience.
This course requires you to purchase a uniform and kit and we include trips to enhance your learning and experience of industry. All of these costs will be explained at interview and students in receipt of financial assistance will be supported with these costs.
Once the course is completed you can apply to progress onto the Level 3 in Beauty Therapy. Those students who do not wish to go onto the next level course can obtain employment within the beauty industry.
