Do you need a qualification?

No you don't..... unless you do!

You have received training, become accredited, gained insurance, grown a business and now you want to progress to another level.  Maybe, work with a product company, embark on some additional training, apply for a career opportunity or even become an educator yourself.  Suddenly, you’re being told that you’re not qualified……… Now what? 🤷‍♀️

You definitely don’t want to or need to go back to the beginning, but you don’t know if what you’re doing and what you know is what you should know and be doing! 

Don’t panic, we have the solution. We can help you gain a regulated qualification without going back to the beginning.

Using the recognition of prior learning process and building upon your current skills, knowledge & behaviours, our assessors can create a bespoke development plan for you to access the required training, development & assessment in order to gain a City & Guilds qualification.

We offer a bespoke Route to Regulated City & Guilds VRQ qualifications at levels 2, 3 & 4 in beauty therapy, nail technology & complementary therapies.

Since 2001, I have been fortunate enough to help many people gain careers by creating flexible learning plans incorporating the units they would like to study. I have created Industry Support Network to provide collaboration within our industry and those within it the resources they need to succeed.
