Coming in Sept 2011:-

We are pleased to announce that from September this year we will be offering Apprenticeships in Beauty Therapy.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn all aspects of Beauty Therapy. You will attend the Hair & Beauty Academy 4 days a week for a year where as well as routine Beauty Therapy units you will also build on the fundamental issues of health & safety, good customer service and equal opportunities to name a few.

Training on the apprenticeships programme for 16 to 18 year old is a priority and fully funded by the government. Training for apprenticeships for those over this age is part funded, with employers expected to make a part or full contribution.

Additional activities are used to enrich the learning experience such as competitions, show work and trips to trade events, such Salon International in London.
