PART-TIME BEAUTY COURSES FOR ADULTS
Our beauty and complementary therapy courses are designed to give you the skills and experience to be successful in the industry.
We offer a huge variety of courses in the industry, taught by our staff who all have industry experience themselves.
A qualification in this subject could lead to a job. If you currently work in the industry, gaining further qualifications will help you specialise and increase your earning potential.
You don’t need to be an expert. Our courses start at Level 1, so you can work your way up to the level you feel is right, even if you’ve never tried the subject before. Beauty and complimentary therapies covers a range of massage techniques, but also makeup application, nail treatments, and a range of alternative therapies such as crystal therapy.
Our courses will help you gain the skills you need to gain employment, or even start running your own business, and our experienced staff are always happy to give you any help and advice you need.
All our courses are taught in the Hair and Beauty Centre at the Knightstone campus, giving you access to industry standard facilities.
