What You Will Study
Whether you're a beauty consultant, hairdresser, student, or simply passionate about makeup, this course is designed to give you both the creative skills and business know-how to take your beauty career to the next level. Over 10 weeks, you'll gain practical makeup experience while learning how to launch and manage a successful business in the beauty industry.
Led by an experienced tutor, the course begins by covering essential foundations in hygiene, client care, insurance, and health and safety. You'll then explore skin types and conditions, followed by hands-on sessions in a range of makeup techniques, including bridal.
At the same time, you’ll develop the core business skills needed to confidently plan and launch your own enterprise. Topics include branding, market research, understanding your competition, identifying your target audience, pricing strategies, financial planning, and promotion. By the end of the course, you'll have produced a draft business plan.
This course is ideal for those looking to become self-employed or start a small beauty business. You’ll benefit from access to a dedicated makeup area and computers, as well as expert feedback and support throughout. All you need to bring is your own makeup kit, a notebook, and a pen.
The course will run on Thursday evenings from 6pm to 9pm.
