About this course

Level 2 Beauty Therapy Course in Loughton. Classes run at Epping Forest Campus, full-time during the day over 44 weeks. You'll cover a broad range of beauty therapy treatments, from skincare and facial techniques to nail services and waxing. The course is aimed at 16 to 18 year olds.

Who this course is for

16 to 18

What you will learn

  • You'll learn facial skincare and cleansing techniques.
  • You'll practise waxing for hair removal treatments.
  • You'll develop nail care and manicure skills.

  • You'll understand health, safety, and hygiene standards in a salon environment.

How you will learn

You'll learn through practical, hands-on sessions in a salon-style environment at Epping Forest Campus. Assessment includes practical observations, where your tutor watches you carry out treatments to a set standard. You'll also complete written assignments and knowledge tests covering the theory behind each treatment. Your progress is assessed throughout the course, not just at the end.
