About this course

Free Level 2 Beauty Therapy Course in Leamington Spa. Classes run at Royal Leamington Spa College, full-time during the day. Over the course of a year, you'll cover the core skills and treatments that beauty therapists use every day. This is a practical, hands-on beauty therapy qualification that takes you from the basics through to client-facing treatments. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm the level is right for you, and the college will use it to plan your learning.

Who this course is for

The Level 2 Diploma in Beauty Therapy is aimed at learners that are looking to start a career in the beauty therapy industry. Learners could progress into employment, onto an apprenticeship, or further their studies by taking other qualifications at Level 3.

What you will learn

  • You'll learn how to carry out facial skincare treatments safely and professionally.
  • You'll develop skills in waxing, threading, and hair removal techniques.
  • You'll practise manicure and pedicure treatments to a professional standard.
  • You'll learn how to consult with clients and adapt treatments to their needs.
  • You'll study skin anatomy and physiology to understand how treatments work.
  • You'll follow health, safety, and hygiene standards used in professional salons.
  • You'll learn how to set up and maintain a treatment area correctly.

How you will learn

You'll learn through practical sessions in a salon-style environment at Royal Leamington Spa College, alongside classroom study. Assessment includes practical observations, where an assessor watches you carry out treatments on clients, and written or online tests covering underpinning knowledge. You'll build a portfolio of evidence as you progress through the course.
