VTCT Level 1 Diploma Beauty Therapy - 14 - 16 yrs old

The Bespoke Study Programme
Designed for aspiring beauty professionals, The Bespoke Study Programme offers a perfect balance of direct, hands-on salon training at Eastern Shimmer and structured independent online study. This nationally recognized qualification provides the foundational technical skills, industry knowledge, and practical confidence needed to launch a successful career in beauty therapy.
 
Course Structure & Delivery
1. Face-to-Face Salon Blocks (3 Hours Per Week)
Foundational Skill Building: Early weeks focus on 1-on-1 tutor demonstrations to master core techniques in a professional salon environment.
Supported Client Sessions: Students build social confidence and manual dexterity by practicing on trusted models (family and friends) in a private setting. As confidence grows, learners have the opportunity to transition to external clients to simulate a true commercial environment.
Practical Assessments: Progress seamlessly from guided practice to formal assessments (formative check-ins followed by final summatives) to officially certify technical competence over a 26 to 30-week period.
2. Guided Online Learning & Google Classroom
Flexible Theory Units: Course theory is hosted on a dedicated online platform. Assignments can be submitted digitally via Google Classroom or turned in as hard copies at the salon to suit individual learning styles.
Online Tutorial Support: Scheduled 1-on-1 online tutorial sessions are provided to guide coursework, offer detailed assignment feedback, and prepare learners for mandatory VTCT exams.
