What to look for when booking a beauty course Northern Ireland
For many, booking a beauty course is a pretty big deal. It’s the first step in turning a passion into a career and with so many available in Northern Ireland and further afield, it can be hard to know where to start. Booking the wrong course with the wrong provider could actually turn out to be a costly mistake, not just in monetary terms, but in time. Imagine completing a course to discover at the end of it that it actually means very little, with no recognition within the beauty industry.
So before you book your next beauty course Northern Ireland, here’s what you need to look out for to ensure you invest your money wisely.

Secondly, upon completion of your course, you should be awarded a diploma or certificate that will be recognised within the industry and will enable you to be gain professional insurance so that you can put your new skills into practice working on the public and earn money.

When you complete your chosen course, you will receive your certificate, which will enable you to receive insurance and allow you to join BABTAC and obtain treatment risk insurance. Furthermore, you will be able to work England and Ireland as well as overseas.
Time #2: Determine the length
Our courses range from full-time to part-time, one-off day courses and from time-to-time, workshops. When enquiring about a course, make sure you fully understand how long it lasts. You may find you are getting value for money. Whatever length the course is, it should include sufficient training so that at the end of it you are fully equipped with the skills needed to work on customers.
