Choosing a career based on your love for beauty can be a little overwhelming because you are presented with a lot of options. If you love people and boast excellent communication skills, and know how to make them feel and look good at the same time, then you are not wrong about choosing a career in the beauty industry. The beauty industry in the UK is thriving. It is not only lucrative in terms of monetary benefits but also a highly scalable career choice.
Nevertheless, the beauty course you choose must be accredited by a reputable body like VTCT, ITEC, or City & Guilds. This is important because choosing an award-winning and trusted organisation will enable you to learn and carry out treatments professionally.
On the other hand, there are fast-track NVQ courses in beauty therapy that are usually administered in private institutions and training centres. These are basically diploma courses that enable you to schedule and study at your convenience.
We advise you to go with NVQ Beauty Therapy because it is not only highly sought after qualification in the Beauty Industry, but also ideal for those who are new and just starting out. Level 2 Beauty is the starting point and it is designed for students who don’t have a year to spare on the traditional beauty programmes. The course will conclude in as little as 17 weeks to a year long course, depending on the training providers you choose.
CPBA offers free employment advice and guidance to their beauty therapy learners. We also offer free beauty therapy courses and funded level 3 beauty courses with work placements.
