The course covers practical treatments including manicures, pedicures, facials, makeup application, and nail art, plus health and safety and professional skills. If you don't hold a GCSE grade 4 or above in English and Maths, functional skills will be built into your training. This level 1 beauty therapy qualification typically takes one year full-time.
