Why Study Level 4 courses at the Essex Beauty Training School?

At the Essex Beauty Training School we understand that everyone has different needs.  We never have more than 4 people in class which ensures we can devote the time you need and tailor your course to you.

 

We offer flexible payment plans, allowing you to pay for your qualification over the duration of the course.

 

Our Level 4 qualification in Beauty Therapy is designed for therapists that already hold a level 3 qualification in beauty.  If you're not sure if you have the correct qualifications, please contact us to discuss.

 

If you are looking to pursue a career in Aesthetic Beauty, soon you will need to hold a level 4 qualification.  This is due to the developing regulations from the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP).

 

The Level 4 Certificate in Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatments will allow you to carry out Laser, IPL or LED Therapies (Hair removal, non-ablative skin rejuvenation and treatment of benign sun-related hyper-pigmentation.  LED for Acne).

 

In the coming months the JCCP will be opening their voluntary registers and the leading insurance companies that cover aesthetic treatments are actively working with the JCCP to establish better industry standards,  this will mean, in time insurance companies will start to deny insurance to therapists that don't hold a level 4 qualification, or they may start increasing the therapists premiums for those without a level 4 qualification wishing to carry out the treatments specified above.
