Beauty and Hairdressing

Do you get a kick out of making people look and feel their best? Do you enjoy working in a profession that values your creative flair and outgoing personality? Do you want a career that can take you anywhere – with the flexibility to fit around family too?

Imagine how good it feels to make your clients look a million dollars! If you’re a creative hands-on person, hairdressing or beauty therapy can be very rewarding professions. There’s no second-guessing if you’re doing a good job – your clients will tell you!

Our Certificate in Hairdressing is a great way to get skills, gain confidence and prepare yourself for a career as a hairdresser before you head out into the working world. This is a hands-on course, including work experience that can take up to 18 months off your apprenticeship.

The beauty therapy courses train you in all aspects of beauty therapy - opening doors to a wide variety of careers including working in spas and salons, in pharmacies or as sales representatives, in hotels, resorts, and cruise ships and even if you want to set up your own business. This is a fast-growing industry and our internationally-recognised qualification can take you anywhere in the world.
