This September, GRETB's Beauty Therapist Traineeship will be starting in Tuam, offering you the chance to turn your passion into a professional qualification.
This course 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 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 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:
• ITEC Diploma for Beauty Specialists.
• ITEC Diploma in Holistic Massage (including anatomy and physiology ).
• ITEC Diploma in Facial Electrical Treatments.

• ITEC Award in Indian Head Massage.
• Industry certification in gel nails, advanced make up, intimate waxing for female clients, brow lamination, lash lift and skin tanning.
The course also includes work placement in a 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 learners are fully prepared for employment. There are fantastic career opportunities in salons, spas, cosmetic sales, cruise ships, etc.
