Beauty Therapy
This course is an ideal start if you are thinking about pursuing a career in the beauty therapy industry.
You'll develop a foundation of Beauty Therapy skills in areas such as face and skin analysis, hair removal treatments, manicure, pedicure and make-up, light cured gel polish as well as the principles of practice for Beauty Therapists.
You will also gain the basic knowledge and understanding of anatomy and physiology for beauty therapists.
What you will learn
You will be learning in our purpose-built salons, training in a commercial environment and learning beauty therapy techniques from industry professionals. They will demonstrate everything that you need to know and you will then practice the skills that you have been shown on fellow colleagues.
Eventually, you will be providing treatments to paying clients. From facials, pedicure, manicure, waxing, make up, eye lash and brow treatments, you will be trained to industry standards.
You will also have the opportunity to develop your work-based skills, working on the salon reception, promoting products and practicing retail services.
Regular tutorials and demonstrations from teaching staff will embed your knowledge, giving you the confidence to practice beauty therapy in paid employment.
Entry requirements
You will need to have a minimum GCSEs at grade 3 or working towards grade 4 in English and maths.
At Cornwall College, we recognise that applicants without these qualifications can often offer a high level of competence as well as life experience and we will therefore consider all applications on their merits alongside their qualifications.
If you are unsure as to whether or not you meet the requirements, please call the department and ask to speak to the study programme manager who will be happy to discuss it with you.
Assessment
You will be assessed through either written assignments or online multiple choice questions, as well as practical assessment on customers in our commercial salons that are open to the public.
Progression
Once you have completed the Beauty Therapy Level 2 course, you will have an essential understanding of the beauty industry and be ready to move on to the more advanced Level 3 courses.
It is always an advantage to offer as many different treatments as possible to your clients, so once you have achieved Beauty Therapy Level 2, we would recommend that you enhance your knowledge base and develop your skills by progressing on to the Advanced Beauty & Spa Therapies Diploma Level 3 course at Cornwall College.

Case studies
I was very nervous and excited to start college. I was living in Looe and nobody that I knew from my school was going to do the course that I was going to do, so yeah, I had first day jitters, but it was great. I made friends really quickly and like everyone says it goes really fast, so enjoy it. I loved my hairdressing course and getting really hands on. Before I started college I spent the summer in a salon, just as an assistant, soaking everything up and watching lots. I also practiced things on my friends and family, even if it was just blow drying. I have very curly hair so I really enjoyed trying new things out on my own hair too. There are so many options with hairdressing, it’s really limitless.
I loved working in the student clinic and learning to complete treatments and advise clients. The department was really well run and I always felt like I was a part of a group
I had developed an interest in holistic therapies and wanted a career change into that industry. The college have a great spa and beauty department and the tutor for reflexology is a wealth of knowledge. The mixture of theory and practical study kept the course interesting and engaging. This course completely changed my life, giving me a rewarding and fulfilling career as well as financial security.
I chose Cornwall College because it was familiar and I liked the practicality that they provide, from feeling and seeing the herbs as well as organs for anatomy and physiology the tutor brought into class. I also liked the clinic workshop as it gave me a chance to interact with the general public.
I find my work very rewarding and I'm keen to learn even more about reflexology. My tutor at the college was amazing and so knowledgeable and was able to teach the subject in an easy to understand manner. I found the practical aspect so interesting and really enjoyed learning about foot reading too
