NVQ 2 Beauty Therapy (Make-Up)
What will I be learning?
You will develop make-up skills for use at special occasions such as weddings, formal evening events and live shows. Basic tuition will be given in photographic make-up skils and face and body painting. Units studied in addition to make-up are: facials, eyebrow shaping and eyelash tinting and perming.
You will be required to work to commercial timings when carrying out treatments and part of your training will be aimed at ensuring you are able to cope with the demands of a commercial environment. 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 and Make-up Artists. The emphasis is towards practical development and there are more salon sessions than theory. Initially, you will be working on members of your group and you will be required to model for other students.
Once you have reached a satisfactory standard you will work on clients (members of the general public) booked through our dedicated reception area or at events and shows.
What else might I want to know?
You will take part in organised visits to the main trade exhibitions each year. You will also assist in organising in-house competitions which you can observe if you are not an entrant. 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 of 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.
Communication is studied as a part of this course.
You need to buy a uniform and kits of equipment.
What can I do afterwards?
