Entry requirements
Level 2 Beauty Therapy or equivalent & good standard of GCSE English A-C/4-9 or equivalent. If aged under 19 and do not have GCSE A-C/4-9, it is a funding requirement to attend additional English and/or Maths classes. Beauty Therapy is a service industry so you need to be part of a team - essential at Level 3. Level 3 students are expected to have a good self-study ethic, where topics are researched & revised so that the lesson progresses well & underpinning theoretical knowledge is in place.
