Course introduction

Our NVQ beauty courses are run alongside our NVQ Hairdressing courses giving you the opportunity to gain qualifications and experience for your next steps, either into employment as a qualified beauty therapist or progression to a higher education course at college or university.

At Boldon School we have a fully equipped beauty salon where we welcome real clients from the public, or you may want to invite your friends and relatives.

On this course you will gain an insight into the beauty therapy industry and practice the skills required to work in a beauty salon, or spa. There will be opportunities for you to attend international events such as Salon International, AHT Hairdressing Competitions.
