Beauty Therapy Course
Course Overview
Work in the beauty industry is both interesting and varied. Job satisfaction is high. As a Beauty Therapist, you would usually work in a salon with other beauticians, hairdressers etc. Or you can, if you wish, decide to be your own boss and run a 'mobile' business, visiting your clients in their own homes. Whatever path you choose, it's a job you'll love doing, and you'll make new friends too!
The great thing about our Beauty Therapist course is that you can study in your own time, at your own pace, from the comfort of home or from work. You will also have your own professional personal tutor offering full support by email and post and the course has been mapped against the National Occupational Standards for the Beauty industry set by habia.
What are the advantages of being self-employed?
After qualification, you may choose to start your own Beauty Therapist business. The advantages of being self-employed are superb: being your own boss, not having to answer to anyone but yourself, choosing your hours, working from home…the list is endless! Just think, no more tedious commuting to work, no more long hours…the world is your oyster. Starting up your own business is less daunting than you think, and once you've started, you'll never look back.
