You’ll get to train using professional tools and techniques in our brand new facilities, right in the heart of London. 

Who Can Apply?

To be eligible for one of our Level 2 Diplomas, you’ll need to be:

• Aged 16-18
• Confident in reading, writing, speaking and understanding English

Your kit includes all the essential products and tools you’ll need to succeed during your course. Please see the ‘Fees and Funding’ tab at the bottom of the course pages to see what’s in the kits.

Industry Enrichment

During your Level 2 Diploma, you will have the opportunity to attend industry enrichment activities such as Careers Fairs, masterclasses, talks and more.

“We’ve had a lot of careers fairs and we’ve met a lot of brands – even outside of careers fairs, brands would come in one by one just to do little talks with us, tell us a bit about themselves, what they do, and how they differentiate from other brands in the industry.” – Sheryssa James, Level 2 Beauty Therapy alumni

What Happens After the Course?

Once you’ve completed your Level 2 Diploma, you could either:

• Progress to a Level 3 Diploma to sharpen your skills and take your training to the next level
