Beauty Therapy (NCFE Level 2 Award), A Home Study, Distance Learning Course

Beauty Therapy (NCFE Level 2 Award)

A distance learning course is the ideal way to gain a Beauty Therapy Level 2 Award. Whether you're looking to go on to further education, improve your job prospects or expand your knowledge, distance learning Beauty Therapy is a flexible and convenient course, which allows you to comprehensively prepare for a Beauty Therapy exam or career through home study. What's more, because the distance learning Level 2 Beauty Therapy course is a fully comprehensive course, no prior knowledge is required.

Do you follow fashion? Are you excited by the latest look? Engaged by fashion and beauty trends? Then you could use your creative and artistic skill to be a beauty therapist.

This course covers the fundamentals of working in a salon including skin care, facials, make up, hair removal and nail conditioning techniques. As a Beauty Therapist, you would usually work in a salon with other beauticians, hairdressers etc. Or you can, if you wish, decide to be your own boss and run a ‘mobile’ business, visiting your clients in their own homes. Whatever path you choose, it’s a job you’ll love doing, and you’ll make new friends too!

Like all of our courses, you will have access to tutor support and our courses are designed in bite sized sections to make learning easier and more flexible.

Support

You will be provided with comprehensive materials designed to provide you with everything required to complete your course of study. You will have your own personal tutor helping you with your course work and with any questions you may have. Plus you can contact our Student Advisors by email or phone for all the practical advice you may need – so we really are with you 100%.

What's more, you'll have access to the online Student Community, where you can interact with other students, browse our resource library and manage your account.
