Introduction To The Beauty Academy The Beauty Academy was established in 1990 to provide the highest quality, short term, intensive beauty therapy training courses. During every beauty course, emphasis is placed on practical work in small groups where each student receives a great deal of individual attention and there is a lot of opportunity to ask questions. Our students say they are delighted at how quickly they learn and how confident and competent they feel after just a few days. Since we pioneered short-term private beauty courses, 23 years ago, the market has changed quite a bit. Today there are many schools offering courses but these are often held in hotels, trainer s homes or in local hair or beauty salons with very little genuine quality control and consistency of standards. We have 11 purpose designed training centres around England and all of our centres have the latest quality products and equipment essential for today s professional courses. Verifiers from our qualification awarding bodies regularly inspect these centres. Following successful completion of your beauty training all students are awarded The Beauty Academy Diploma, which allows you to obtain insurance and start your own business working from home or as a mobile beauty therapist. To be employed in a salon or spa you will need to have an NVQ qualification or a City & Guild award and we have designed our courses to help you achieve these levels as quickly and as economically as possible. We also offer a selection of more advanced beauty courses that enable those already skilled in the industry to further their abilities. Our beauty training courses often attract a number of qualified therapists who wish to add to their repertoire and offer their clients a more extensive selection of treatments. Whatever it is that you wish to do after your beauty training you can rely on The Beauty Academy to give you the best possible start in the wonderful business of Beauty, Nails and Make-Up.
Women empowered by professional training: Case Study 1: Sarah s Story When Sarah Mayes first came to The Beauty Academy she was just 19 and working in a solicitor s office. She attended some intensive courses and achieved our own diploma enabling her to change jobs and start, in beauty, straight away. Sarah enjoyed her work so much she returned to us to take our NVQ Levels 2 & 3 supervised route in 2010. Only six months later Sarah is currently in the Caribbean, working for Steiner, on a cruise ship. Well done, Sarah! (follow her progress on our new Facebook page.) Case Study 2: Keishsa s Story My name is Keisha Grossett. I had worked at my parent s restaurant waiting at tables but I really wanted to follow a new career in the beauty industry. I studied beauty at a large college but then decided to go to The Beauty Academy where I was made to feel more comfortable due to the small group size. When I finish my City & Guilds I have a job offer with a couple s only hotel at Ocho Rios in Jamaica Case Study 3: Seeta s Story Hello, I am Seeta Saini and I live in London. I am a housewife with two children aged 4 and 2. In the past I worked in retail but wanted to change my job role. But I had so little time. The Beauty Academy was best for me because I could study when I wanted and it fitted into my life style which was so busy due to my little boy and girl. I really enjoyed doing the course because the staff and tutors are very good and take everything step by step.

Syllabus This is the format for all our courses: The Beauty Academy courses always begin with a short presentation introducing you to the subject being studied. This is carried out in an informal way and students can make notes at this time in their course manual and feel comfortable to ask questions. The subjects covered relate directly to the course, and include the following: Professional ethics Client consultation and record keeping Safety and hygiene in the salon Contra-indications to the treatment Preparation of the client and materials Anatomy and physiology Client aftercare As emphasis is placed on practical work, this will begin following the presentation and continue for the rest of the day. Following successful completion of your course you will be awarded The Beauty Academy diploma. The same basic approach also applies to our NVQ courses. Further details on all our courses and course dates is available on our website. http://www.thebeautyacademy.org The Beauty Academy Beauty Therapist Insurance Scheme Whether you are a student completing your case work study or an experienced therapist you will need insurance to protect yourself from potential claims.
