As part of this pre-course learning and tuition on the training day, you will learn the following:

Lash extensions are hugely popular to enhance appearance of the eyes / lashes. This course will teach you the fundamental skills to provide Classic Eyelash Extensions which involves one false lash applied to one isolated natural lash to give the appearance of longer, more defined lashes. It is a service which requires regular maintenance typically every 2-6 weeks allowing you to build a regular client base and guarantee regular income as a lash technician. Lash techs typically earn between £40-£70 per treatment.

Builder gel in a bottle is an innovative product that has the durability of products like acrylic but with the ease of application of a gel. It can be used for several uses including strengthening natural nails as an overlay or to extend the natural nails.  With no odour, minimal filing required (so less dust) and easy to transport products required, this treatment is great for those working from home or mobile. Treatments require maintenance every 2-4 weeks helping create a loyal client base. Earn up to £50 an hour!

Whether learning for personal interest, to pamper friends/family or indeed to start your own business from home or mobile – this course package is perfect for you!

Certification

On successful attendance of your training day, you will be sent The Beauty Academy Diploma by email within 24 working hours of your course. This is accredited by ABT (Associated Beauty Therapists) allowing you to purchase insurance to work offering your treatments to the public.

Career Opportunities

Upon completion of your course, you can start your own business working from home or mobile offering your treatments.

Some salons may also accept you for self-employed or employed opportunities, although this does vary across the UK and is dependent on individual salon/employer requirements for their insurance and/or local authority special treatment licensing (as applicable). For those specifically seeking employment or to work outside the UK beyond training, you may wish to consider our International Qualifications.

Insurance on Completion

Our Diploma is accepted by a number of leading beauty (public liability) insurers including Balens, Radius, InSync and many more. It will cover you when providing treatments to the public, but many policies also provide additional benefits such as covering your kit for loss/damage, risk of damage to client property while providing treatments in their home and legal assistance.

You do not need any insurance to attend our courses as you will be covered by our company insurance on the training day(s). This is just for when you start working with the public as a therapist yourself.

We highly recommend Balens Insurance:
