Course Details:

This is the complete course for the aspiring beauty therapist as it covers the knowledge and skills required for the treatment of the face, hands and feet. Commencing with an examination of the theory which underpins current practices in beauty therapy it then goes on to deal with standard as well as new treatments while the final section of the course deals with setting up and running a beauty salon.

In order to perform treatments upon clients it is necessary for the therapist to have a sound understanding of what goes on in the body and so the initial section in this course concentrates on giving a good knowledge of anatomy and physiology. This is followed by a separate section on skin analysis and cleansing and the different procedures and techniques practised today.

Heat and Ultraviolet treatments are covered as well as electrical treatments

Management/Leadership Skills Test

All students of this resource have the option to take a Management/Leadership Test for an additional cost of €50.00. This test is conducted on our behalf by Verax international. This test has to be taken on line and the results will be sent directly to each student by email usually within 3/4 working days.

We urge you to complete this test as it will provide you with invaluable help and guidance in enabling you to get the most out for your learning. The assessment sent to you when you complete the test will not count in any way to your eventual qualification. It is intended to enable you to understand your strengths and weaknesses and so concentrate on those parts of the course that are most valuable to you.

You may think that you are already aware of these. However, systematic research shows that just over half the population are unaware of their real strengths, let alone their real weaknesses.

This test provides you with a systematic way of assuring these for yourself. Answer honestly. There are no right or wrong answers. Only you will see the results.

The test will allow you to assess your own performance against 16 key management/leader competencies - such as customer focus, decision making, creativity and team working - which are valued by employers and which are very important for effective performance as a manager or team leader. There is one test for managers in the public sector and a separate test for all other managers. Depending on which version chosen, your performance is benchmarked either against 15,000 or so managers in the database or against public sector managers only.

In summary, this unique test will show you what to stop doing (or do less of) and what to start doing (or do more of) in order to become more effective in your current role/activity. In effect, you are told what you need to do to become a more effective manager and team leader and most important of all, how to do it.

Good luck with your studies.
