Here at LSBM, we offer a total of five VTCT Level 2 or Level 2 & 3 combined beauty therapy courses. Vocational Training Charitable Trust (VTCT) is a specialist awarding and assessment organisation offering vocational and technical qualifications across a variety of service sectors, including beauty therapy.
The Level 2 Beauty Therapy Diploma is perfect for entry level students on the first rung of their beauty careers. You’ll cover waxing, facials, lashes and brows and manicures and pedicures. If you have aspirations to work in a beauty salon, or as a private beauty therapist, this is the course for you. What’s more, with the course running on a Saturday, it’s ideal if you need to fit your learning around other commitments.
Another option, if you wish to study more intensively and achieve a higher level of knowledge in a shorter time, is the Level 2 and 3 Combined Beauty Therapy Diploma. This more comprehensive beauty therapy course adds body massage, facial electrotherapy and body electrotherapy to your skillset, and results in being awarded both the VTCT Level 2 and Level 3 Beauty Therapy Studies Diplomas.
For those looking to specialise in facials and skincare, there are two choices. The Level 2 Facial Massage & Skin Care Certificate is the ideal introduction, providing hands-on learning around massage, steaming, exfoliation, moisturising and masque application. Or opt for the Level 2 and 3 Combined Facials and Skin Care Course, which extends learning to anatomy and physiology, as well as mechanical and electrical facial treatments.

All of our beauty therapy courses in London are taught by highly qualified Lecturers who have many years of industry experience, in addition to postgraduate teaching qualifications.
Whether you choose our full-time, part-time or Saturday only beauty therapy courses, our programmes are designed to provide a balance of comprehensive practical and theoretical experience. When training, all students are required to work on each other in the classroom in order to gain a full understanding of each treatment, meaning you will be receiving treatments as well as giving them. Once you’re fully confident in your skill set, and have passed your final practical exam, you will be required to work with paying clients.
This valuable experience will allow you to learn how to meet the expectations and demands of clients and perfect your retail sales and customer service techniques. Our beauty therapy and cosmetology courses will, in addition to the above, also require you to attend lectures in human anatomy and physiology.
