Is VTCT right for me? Working as employed
A VTCT course is the right course for you if you want to work for someone else or are just starting to gain your qualifications. 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.
Is VTCT right for me? Working as self-employed
If you are 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 you can book courses individually and pay as you go!
The diploma courses are all ABT accredited for insurance purposes, allowing you to begin earning £££s from home or mobile quickly. Courses cover the most popular & most requested treatments, giving you a comprehensive treatment range with which to start your own business, so your clients will book with you time and time again.
We also offer Online Training Courses for those wanting to work from home / mobile, for whom attending one of our training centres is not convenient or is difficult to fit around their commitments. Online courses are recognised for insurance & can be completed anywhere, anytime, at your own pace. Find out more about our Online Training Courses.
