NVQ 1 Beauty Therapy

What will I be learning?

The NVQ 1 course is delivered in our beautiful suite of salons. You will be undertaking the following areas of study: facial treatments, nail treatments, maintaining work areas, health and safety and reception duties. You will be assessed throughout the course whilst carrying out treatments, as well as completing brief written papers requiring short sentence answers.

All assessment is carried out whilst assisting with or working on paying clients. The qualification is due to be revised during 2009/2010; as a result of this the areas of study may change.

How will I learn?

The course is a mix of practical and theory sessions delivered by qualified and experienced Beauty Therapists.

The emphasis is towards practical development and there are more salon sessions than theory. You are encouraged to progress at your own rate and there are extra activities if you do well and complete tasks early.

Extra activities that can be taken by more able students include treatments for eyelashes and eyebrows and Nail Treatments. A College certificate will be awarded for those successfully completing work.

Initially you will be working on members of your group and you will be required to model for other students.

What else might I want to know?

You will take part in organised visits to the main trade exhibitions each year and also help to organise in-house competitions which you can observe if you are not an entrant.

You are required to buy a uniform and kits of equipment.

Pamper days are provided for several local groups including The Torbay Carer's Trust and Alzheimer's Society we have also made links with Rowcroft Hospice and deliver pamper days to carer's for their patients. These experiences give you the chance to work with different clients and are a useful preparation for employment.

Key skills are vital for the development a professional image and salon persona. Employers in surveys state that they require basic IT, communication and number skills in their workforce. IT is studied as a part of this course.

What can I do afterwards?

The Beauty & Complementary Therapy Section at South Devon College has many progression routes on offer.

We have courses for those wishing to follow general beauty therapy, nail technology, make-up or complementary therapy routes.
