Frequently asked questions
Is this an accredited qualification?
Yes — this is a VTCT-accredited Level 2 NVQ Award in Make-Up, delivered at our centre in Warrington.
Do I need any experience?
No prior qualifications are needed — just an interest in the treatment. It’s an ideal first step, or a quick way to add a new service to your existing menu.
How long does it take?
Awards are short and focused — most are completed in days rather than months. We’ll confirm the exact schedule when you enrol.
What can I do with it?
Offer the treatment professionally and insurably as soon as you qualify — as a standalone service, a rebooking-boosting add-on, or a stepping stone toward a full Diploma.
How do I pay?
Pay in full by card or bank transfer, or spread the cost — in-house instalments (no interest, no credit check), interest-free splits via Clearpay or PayPal Pay in 3, or flexible monthly plans through Payl8r.
When can I start?
We run Awards throughout the year. Enrol or get in touch and we’ll confirm the next available date.
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 online before you start.
