The course ensures you gain the experience, knowledge and competency required so you gain the best chance of gaining employment or setting up your own business. Courses are limited in size with only 4-6 students to give you as much time and help as possible.
You will be asked to complete written assignments at home which we will mark for your portfolia, and undertake written exams at the end of each unit.

We also offer VRQs which are stand-alone national qualifications on specific units. For example, if you intend to only specialise in facials, then you might want to consider a VRQ In Facial Skincare.
