Most further education colleges run beauty therapy courses. What makes Champneys Beauty College stand out is that we offer qualifications from the industry's leading international awarding bodies, CIDESCO, and ITEC. What's more we are the only college within a world renowned spa health spa and we are able to offer guaranteed employment to our diploma graduates within Champneys.

Diploma, Part Time, Weekend & CPD Courses: A non refundable deposit of 25% of your course fee is due on acceptance of your place. This secures your place. The balance is due six weeks before commencement of the course (four weeks for weekend and CPD courses).

Once students have taken their Level 2 and 3 ITEC examinations they are qualified therapists and can start working.
