Yes, I can train you and your team at your salon! Travel costs will be added on to the total cost of the course. You may be required to carry out treatments on each other, and/or find your own models for the practical part of the training. You must also have appropriate treatment facilities available for the duration of the training.

Most of our courses are accredited by the Guild of Professional Beauty Therapists and taught to National Occupational Standards. Guild Training International (GTi) qualifications are accepted for insurance and membership. 

The course description will state whether it is an accredited course or not! Some of our courses are add-ons, skill building, mentoring or masterclasses - these are not usually accredited and the description will clarify this. You should have prior qualifications in the subject, or be learning for personal purposes only. You will not be able to acquire insurance with non-accredited courses.

Yes, you will be able to obtain insurance from any reputable insurance provider after completing any of our in-person accredited short courses. 

For some of our courses you may need to bring a model with you to work on. We may be able to help find models for some courses if required but this is not guaranteed.

For some courses you will be working with another learner, and you will be required to work on each other.

Each individual course description will specify whether a model is required.

Before you attend for the practical training you will complete the course theory online. The course theory has test questions as you work through the modules.

On the practical day of training you will be assessed by observation and questioning throughout the day. There may also be 'case studies' to complete after the course, where photograph evidence will be required to show that you can carry out the treatments to the required standard.

There is no exam and very minimal written work required to pass our courses.

If you do not reach the required standard to pass your training course then additional practical training may have to be arranged, for which you will need to pay.

Once you have been passed by the GTi school for a course, your certificate will be available in your user account area on the Beauty Guild website for you to download as a PDF. You can also purchase a copy of your certificate if you choose.

There is no specific dress code for our courses, but we ask that you do please wear work-appropriate clean clothes and closed-toe shoes. 

Your clothes and shoes should be comfortable for standing and sitting for long periods of time. Please be mindful of loose fabric or tassels, and keep jewellery minimal (i.e. no long dangling necklaces or costume jewellery).

Be mindful that you will be working in close proximity to other learners and clients so you should have good hygiene and avoid using overpowering fragrances if possible.
