Beauty Therapy Courses at HOET

Beauty Therapy is a rapidly growing industry as more and more people choose to spend their disposable income on looking and feeling good about themselves. Unlike many other training providers, a full-time Beauty course at Heart of England Training is based in one of our training salons which enables you to gain valuable commercial experience alongside building-up your technical and theoretical skillset.

We offer Beauty Therapy at Levels 1, 2 and 3 – so you can progress through all levels with us. Heart of England Training has great links with employers – so if you would like to progress onto a paid apprenticeship or full-time employment, we can assist you.

Why study a full-time Beauty Therapy course with HOET?

What makes us different is the commercial nature of our Hair & Beauty Colleges: when you join one of our courses, you will be working on actual paying clients within the training salon. That’s right – no blockheads and no dummies…real people! This empowers you to develop customer service skills as well as experience on the salon floor. Our beauty rooms are well-equipped and we are very proud to stock and use Dermalogica products in our training salons.

Where can you study a HOET Beauty Therapy course?

We run four Hair & Beauty Colleges where we deliver Beauty Therapy courses: Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester and Rugby. We work with some of the top local salons to provide excellent Work Experience opportunities.

Entry requirements

There are no formal entry requirements. However, if you do not hold a GCSE grade C/4 in English and Maths, we will incorporate English and/or Maths functional skills or GCSEs into your training.

Assessment methods

Your performance will be monitored throughout the programme by our trainers through practical demonstrations, observations, assignments and theory work. If you need to incorporate functional skills (English and Maths) into your training, you can choose how and when you would like to take your exam(s).

Progression options

Upon successful completion of your study programme, you can work towards the next level (up to level 3) either remaining on a study programme within the College or by moving over to an apprenticeship in a local salon or spa. Alternatively, you could look at expanding your skillset with a complementary apprenticeship such as Customer Service.

General full-time course information

During your course, we will support you with work experience which will assist you when the time comes to decide on your next steps.

Whilst on our full-time courses, you will be supported to progress with Maths and English. This could involve taking Functional Skills qualifications or even retaking GCSEs with us when you are ready. 

The bursary is a fund to help you participate in learning. It can be used to support with things such as travel or books and equipment and is assessed on an individual basis. Click here to apply for bursary support. Childcare may be supported through the care to learn scheme.

Yes – it’s not all work, work, work! With our courses, you will also have the opportunity to visit companies and enjoy a wide range of trips and activities. And…a high percentage of young people who attend our academies progress into an apprenticeship, job or further education. HOET also offers a wide range of ‘Personal Development’ sessions, trips and workshops to support your needs.

Interested in a full-time Beauty Therapy course?

Not looking for a full-time course?

Perhaps you’re already a qualified beauty therapist and you’re looking to refresh your skills after a career break. Perhaps there is a particular service/technique you’d like to sharpen-up on. We offer a pay as you go private learning option where you can work with our Educators at our training salon to bring you back up to speed, or equally to guide you through a NVQ diploma at your own pace.

  • Registration & Certification fee: £150
