Qualifications explained
Accredited vs Regulated
Accredited courses are those backed up by a insurance company, insuring you once you have passed the course based on the academy’s requirements.
Regulated courses are those backed by the government and regulatory authorities.
I’ve taken part on a few webinars around the subject of accreditation and regulated courses. Watch them over on our YouTube channel.

Not sure whether to book a NVQ course or Diploma course? Read on to find out the difference and which qualification will benefit you.
NVQ
- For those wishing to work in a salon, spa or cruise ship
- for those looking for a long term serous career in hair or beauty
- Those wishing to open their own business- mobile, salon or in a room
- Those wishing to have accounts with premium product suppliers
Gaining a NVQ will make you more employable, ensure you can complete the treatment in salon specified time, and are wildly recognised by employers.
First stepping is to gain a Level 2 to then progress onto Level 3
Diploma
- For therapists wishing to add to their skills or services
- For those already with a NVQ looking to add services
- For therapists wishing to gain CPD
- Fast track entry into the industry
If you complete a diploma course you can turn this into a NVQ at a later date if you wish.
