Beauty Therapy Level 2

This diploma offers a perfect blend of hands-on experience and theory, preparing you to deliver a wide range of treatments. You'll cover core beauty therapy techniques, all taught in a professional, friendly, and supportive environment:

• Facial skincare treatments
• Manicure and pedicure services
• Waxing techniques for various areas
• Eyebrow shaping and tinting
• Application of makeup and basic beauty consultancy
• Health, safety, and hygiene in beauty settings
• Professional conduct and client care
• Salon reception duties and retail skills

It would be helpful for the student to have a kit to practise routines at home and to purchase a textbook to help with homework and assignments. The suggested textbook is The Foundations Beauty Therapy Level 2 7th Edition by Lorraine Nordmann

Students will need to have five GCSE passes at grade 3 or above, preferably including Maths and English. Alternatively, students will be accepted onto the course if they have an equivalent vocational qualification at merit grade, and Functional Skills Maths and English, preferably at Level1.

All students must have achieved, or show the ability to achieve, Maths and English to grade 3 or equivalent. Where a student has not yet fulfilled this requirement, a functional skills qualification is a mandatory part of this course.

You don't need any previous experience in beauty therapy to enrol - just a keen interest in the industry and a desire to learn! You should enjoy working with people, have good communication skills, and an eye for detail. Your passion for beauty and dedication to providing excellent client care will be your biggest strengths throughout the programme.

Level 2 Diploma in Beauty Therapy Studies

Upon completion of this Level 2 Diploma, you'll be able to progress to more advanced training, such as the Level 3 Diploma in Beauty Therapy. Your journey into the beauty world could lead to roles in salons, spas, beauty clinics, or even self-employment as a beauty therapist.

You'll be assessed through a combination of practical assessments, written assignments, and portfolio building. The practical aspects allow you to demonstrate your new skills on real clients, while the written work ensures you understand the theory behind each treatment. You'll receive guidance and feedback every step of the way to help you achieve your best results.

Most of the homework can be completed in independent study, larger assignments will be given over holidays, Christmas and Easter breaks.

You'll have the chance to participate in work experience where you can gain hands-on experience. Engage with inspiring speakers from the industry who will share insights about their roles and career paths. Additionally, you may have the opportunity to visit various workplaces to observe professionals in action.

You will wear a uniform whilst carrying out practical activities in the salon. Cost of kit and uniform will be discussed prior to enrolment. We do try to get most workshops free, but this is not always possible and there may be a charge to hold one. This will be at a reduced cost for the students and we will give plenty of notice of when these will take place. Additional qualifications may be offered if suitable for the student.
