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?

32 weeks in total — 24 weeks of college sessions (one day a week), followed by a further 8 weeks of Community Salon sessions on real clients. Live-client work is supported by practical observation, written assignments, theory papers set by VTCT, 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 VTCT-accredited Level 3 Diploma in Beauty Therapy Services, delivered at our centre in Warrington.

What career support do you provide?

You’ll graduate as a well-rounded beauty therapist — equipped for roles in salons, spas, hotel spas, mobile work, or running your own beauty therapy business, with skills spanning skincare, waxing, nails and massage.

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.
