As Ireland moves further and further up the scale of wealthy countries exciting and expanding career opportunities exist in many areas. One of these is Beauty Therapist. This programme trains you not just to be an ordinary beauty therapist but a Professional Beauty Therapist and the difference between the two can be quite enormous.

This specific programme will teach you all the skills and techniques required to establish yourself as a first class beauty therapist and there is a special section for those who want to set-up and run their own beauty business.

So if you want to establish yourself in a new career that has terrific potential then you must give this top class training programme very serious consideration.
Being a Professional Beauty Therapist is a very rewarding profession and if you are prepared to work hard you can, with our help, training and support, really make a success of it.

In addition to giving you all the necessary details and information to become a beauty therapist we also have at the end of Part 2 a special section on being a beauty salon operator for those of you who might be interested in following that route.

This programme therefore is very comprehensive and is one that will teach you properly to succeed.

Personality/Intelligence Test

All our students have the option to take this revealing test for an additional cost of €25.00.

The test asks questions to determine:

• Are you a 'Take-Charge' type?
   
• Are you a manipulative person?
   
• Are you a real friend when the going gets rough?
   
• How popular are you?
   
• Could you be your own boss?
   
• What's your leadership potential?

The objective is not only to help you achieve greater personal and professional success - but to show you how to get what you really want out of life.

Management/Leadership Skills Test

All students of this course 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.
