FAQs

How does an online course work?

You will study in your own time and at your own pace. Everything is done online and you will also receive online help from me at any time, no question is too small. 

You will work through each online course until completion, courses are made up of practical, written, video and info modules. You can ask as many questions as you need to throughout the course.

You can get through any subject as quickly as you like (some students can do a subject easily) or you can take as long as you like. I have NO time limits on any of my courses.

 

Do I need prior experience in this field?

Some of my courses have been designed for people with no prior beauty experience to get them into the Beauty Industry quickly and at a reasonable price, some courses are add on treatments that have enrolment requirements. My subject training manuals explains everything from start to finish. Please check each course to check you have the relevant experience if required.

 

Are your courses accredited and certificated?

I am proud to have my courses accredited by ABT.  They are insurable and fully certificated at the end.  Please follow instructions in your joining email to ensure you understand next steps. 

 

Do I have to do exams and assignments?

I have minimum practical requirements that must be met for each subject. Once you have reached the end of your course and feel confident with your skills you are required to sit a theory exam to gain your Certificate. This will test your understanding of the theory side of the course. The exam is open book and with no time limit, but I do expect my students to achieve at least 80%. I will not fail you. If I’m not happy with any answers, i’ll simply get you to answer again until you get it right. My classroom classes and online courses require case studies in order to get certification. 

 

Will I be Qualified?

This will depend entirely on where you are situated in the world.

My Certificate is legal and valid for use anywhere in the UK and also many other countries in the world to either work in a salon, start your own business or enhance your skills.

If you are outside of UK, you will need to check locally to see if any licensing requirements are in force or if more formal qualifications are required. This is the student responsibility.  I  have students all over the world.

 

Can I get Insurance?

My courses are fully accredited with a certificate but I always suggest in all cases you check with your insurance provider to ensure you are covered. For online only courses - insurance is available from Radius Insurance, INSYNC INSURANCE, DIRECT LINE, WESTMINSTER & BALENS as we are fully recognised & accredited.

Please note that I can only mention the criteria of my own courses, there are non accredited online courses - that are not insurable. 

This is not the case with our courses 

 

How do I get my practice?

This is all explained in the course. You will be required to source models so that you can reach your minimum practical requirements. Models can be family and friends, friends of friends etc.

Initially if you can try and get models who have perhaps been to a professional salon for the service you are practising on them, so they can give you some comparative feedback, but you will know by the end result whether you have performed a service correctly.

 

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are available for any online courses that have been ordered incorrectly, but not yet fulfilled, please contact us immediately with a request.  Once coursework has been sent, no refund will be granted. 

For classroom courses, deposit is non-refundable as this secures your place on the day.

 

Do I get a kit?

No there are no kits with my online courses. In the manuals you'll find a list of product recommendations, my go to items, things that I could not live without & exclusive discount codes.
