Students learn a wide range of basic skills, firstly practising on each other, but quickly moving onto completing treatment on clients. Students have the chance to go on external visits to different shows around the country and have guest speakers in to give practical and theory workshops. There are practical and theory elements to the course and students have to produce a portfolio of evidence. Student attendance must remain above 90% to be successful on the course. It would be helpful for the student to have a kit to practise routines at home and to purchase a textbook to help with homework and assignments. The suggested textbook is The Foundations Beauty Therapy Level 2 7th Edition by Lorraine Nordmann.
Students will need to have five GCSE passes at grade 3 or above, preferably including Maths and English. Alternatively, students will be accepted onto the course if they have an equivalent vocational qualification at merit grade, and Functional Skills Maths and English, preferably at Level 1. All students must have achieved, or show the ability to achieve, Maths and English to grade 3 or equivalent. Where a student has not yet fulfilled this requirement, a functional skills qualification is a mandatory part of this course. Excellent attendance is required (100% expected, minimum 90% acceptable) and full commitment. Students must be prepared to study towards Functional Skills/GCSE English and Maths if they have not already achieved these. Students must have full dexterity, good eyesight (with or without contact lens, glasses or other).
Observation of practical work on clients, projects, assignments and case studies, written and oral questioning. Students also build a service portfolio of evidence and complete within year graded assessments and an end of year practical synoptic and two online theory exams.
