Lifetime opens flagship beauty training academy

11 Oct 2016 Training provider Lifetime Training opened its flagship beauty academy near Manchester, England, last week.

Lifetime provides a Beauty Therapy Diploma with a range of options, with online learning as well as practical sessions and assessments, so that students can carry out their education at their own pace.

“At Lifetime, we have a vision to create an innovative, flexible learning experience for our students,” said Mike Jones, commercial director. “We are using technology to bring this to fruition, putting the quality of the learner’s educational experience at the forefront of all our course development. By using flexible learning, we can open up beauty therapy training to people who cannot commit to full or traditional part-time training, those in full employment, or who struggle with childcare, without compromising the quality of education provided.”

The diploma includes traditional modules on facial skincare, manicure and pedicure, waxing and makeup, as well as body and Indian head massage, stone therapy massage, aromatherapy, self-tanning and microdermabrasion.

These training modules are presented alongside business-based skills, such as working in a beauty-related business, reception duties, health and safety practices, and value-added modules on gel manicures and intimate waxing.

Level 3 Beauty Therapy Diplomas are being offered initially, with a range of accredited qualifications for therapists to follow.
