A new Beauty Therapist Traineeship will be starting in Tuam in September.
The programme has been running very successfully in Tuam since 1998. Over the years the course has evolved and changed based on the needs of the sector.
A very sizeable number of our past students are working in salons all over Ireland and abroad and many have opened their own salons and are running very successful businesses. A number of our past students have also won prestigious national awards.
The programme runs for 52 weeks full time and certification is provided through the internationally recognised certifying body ITEC based in London. The following certification is on offer through the programme:
The programme also includes work placement in a beauty salon situation where learners get the opportunity to develop their practical skills to industry standard. This has proven invaluable for getting jobs at the end of the programme as they are fully prepared for employment. There are fantastic career opportunities in salons, spas, cosmetic sales, cruise ships etc.
Candidates for the programme should possess Leaving Cert standard of education preferably with Biology and have a keen interest in people and beauty.
Course fees are paid by GRETB and a training allowance is payable to eligible candidates.
