VTCT Qualifications

If you are looking to embark on a career within the beauty industry, VTCT qualifications will give you a head start, ahead of the competition and open up a wealth of career options whether that’s employed in a salon, spa, nail bar, on a cruise liner or opening your own salon premises.

Work as Employed

A VTCT course is the right courses for you! If you want to work for someone else or just to start to gain your qualifications then our Level 2 &/or Level 3 courses would be an excellent choice.

If you wish to open your own salon premises or have a permanent treatment room from home, you will also usually require a VTCT Qualification to comply with local authority licensing.

OR

Work as Self Employed

If looking to work solely self-employed (from home or mobile) VTCT courses are not necessarily the best place to start. The Beauty Academy Diploma courses are usually more suited to this training route.  We offer packages to save money when booking our best selling diploma courses, or book courses individually and pay as you go!

The diploma courses are all ABT accredited for insurance purposes to allow you to begin earning £££s from home or mobile quickly. Courses cover the most popular & most requested treatments in order to give you a comprehensive treatment range with which to start your own business, which ensures that your clients will book with you time and time again.

We also offer Online Training Course options for those wanting to work from home / mobile for whom attendance of one of our 6 training centres is not convenient or is difficult to fit around their commitments. Online Courses are recognised for insurance & give a convenient option for study that can be completed anywhere, anytime online at your own pace.

  • Established 1990: the Original Private Beauty Training School

    I have done a few courses at the Cambridge and London venues and loved all of them. Staff is very friendly and professional at the same time which makes it easy to learn the theory and also the techniques. Teachers pay attention to each student and gives honest advises and support. I highly recommend The Beauty Academy for everyone.

  • Established 1990: the Original Private Beauty Training School

    I made a last minute decision to attend the ‘dry manicure and gel polish’ course and so glad I did! The tutor (Donnamarie) was so passionate and inspiring that she gave me the confidence I needed. Everything was well explained and the group was small enough get the best out of the day.
