Go beyond technique. Build the cross-service consultation craft that lets you bundle treatments, manage repeat-visit cycles across multiple disciplines, and position yourself as a complete beauty therapist rather than a single-service specialist.

Frequently asked questions
Entry requirements
We assess every applicant on their potential, not just their paperwork. A Level 2 Beauty Therapy qualification is preferable but not essential — equivalent industry experience or transferable skills can be just as valuable. Applicants should be aged 19+ on the first day of the course. Access to a laptop or tablet is preferable, so you can complete your enrolment and any funding paperwork online before you start. Get in touch for a friendly chat about your background.
How long is the course?
36 weeks of two college sessions per week, plus a mandatory minimum of 15 Community Salon sessions (up to 25 available) on real clients from Week 9 onwards. Live-client work runs throughout the course, supported by practical observation, written assignments, theory papers set by Focus Awards, and a portfolio of evidence built across all disciplines.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. On this self-funded route you can pay in full at checkout by card or PayPal, or spread the cost with Klarna or PayL8r — you choose at the payment step when you book your start date. If you’d rather not pay for the course yourself, the same diploma is also available with £0 upfront through an Advanced Learner Loan — see the funded version of this page for details.
Are your courses accredited?
Yes. This is a Focus Awards-accredited Level 3 Diploma in Combined Beauty Therapy Skills, delivered at our centre in Warrington.
What career support do you provide?
You’ll graduate as a multi-discipline beauty therapist — equipped for senior roles in salons, spas, hotel spas, mobile work, or running your own combined-service business. The breadth of this qualification opens the widest range of beauty therapist careers.
Do I need my own kit?
No — all the equipment and products you need are provided in-house, so there’s nothing to buy to get started. It’s preferable to have access to a laptop or tablet, so you can complete your enrolment and any funding or loan paperwork online before you start.
