Course overview

  • Learn how to offer a range of therapies including make-up, eyelashes manicures and waxing.
  • At Level 3 you will have the opportunity to learn about more complex therapies, such as anti-ageing electrical treatments and microdermabrasion.

Beauty Therapy is a huge industry and has become a popular career choice for both women and men in recent years. Beauty therapists can work in salons, therapy centres, or spas. They may also work independently, providing beauty treatments to clients at home.

This Beauty Therapy QLS Level 2 course will give you the foundation knowledge to work in the beauty therapy industry. You will develop the skills to work for an established beauty therapy business, or even become a freelance beauty therapist.

You’ll go in-depth on how to create your kit, manicure and pedicure techniques, and hair styling for men and women, before diving into the anatomy and physiology of the face and body, whilst developing your practical skills in providing advanced facial and body treatments.

You will also build a sound knowledge of health and safety practices in a salon environment, as well as examining client care and communication in beauty-related industries.
