Who this course is for

Entry requirements

You will require your Level 3 Beauty Therapy or Level 3 Beauty Massage Therapist qualification, as you will require your anatomy and physiology knowledge.

  • You'll develop PR and marketing skills for the beauty industry.
  • You'll build salon leadership and operational management skills.

How you will learn
