Changes to Our Courses: Everything You Need to Know
We’re excited to share some big updates with you! As you know, The London School of Beauty and Makeup is now simply The London School of Beauty—a change that reflects our sharper focus on skincare, beauty therapy, and advanced aesthetic treatments.
We’ve listened to industry trends and students’ feedback, and we’ve refined our courses to make sure you’re learning the most relevant, in-demand skills to succeed in today’s beauty world.
What’s Changed
To keep our training focused on aesthetics, we’ve stopped offering some courses, including:
- Makeup artistry (MASA courses) Including:
MASA AWARD – In Principles of Makeup Design
MASA DIPLOMA – The Complete Makeup Artistry Course with Advanced Portfolio Development
MASA CERTIFICATE – In Professional Makeup Artistry and Hairstyling
- CIDESCO Diploma
- Beginners hairstyling
This lets us put all our energy into skincare, aesthetics and advanced beauty therapies—where the industry is growing fastest.
We No Longer Offer CIDESCO Courses
As part of our continuous efforts to provide the best education and opportunities to our students, we have made the decision to transition exclusively to offering CIBTAC qualifications, and we no longer run CIDESCO courses.
If you’re wondering what this means for your career prospects, rest assured that CIBTAC is an excellent alternative that offers many of the same benefits as CIDESCO. For decades, CIBTAC has been synonymous with high standards, international recognition, and employability in the beauty, spa, and wellness industries. Let’s explore why CIBTAC is a fantastic choice for those seeking global career opportunities.
Why Is CIBTAC a Great Alternative To CIDESCO?
-
Global Recognition for Excellence
CIBTAC qualifications are widely accepted and respected by employers all over the world. Much like CIDESCO, a certification from CIBTAC is a mark of distinction that tells employers you have received training of the highest calibre. Whether you’re looking to work in luxury spas, premium salons, or wellness centers internationally, CIBTAC gives you the credentials to stand out.
-
High-Quality, Industry-Ready Training
CIBTAC courses are developed in collaboration with industry experts to ensure students are equipped with skills that are practical, relevant, and aligned with global trends. This focus on hands-on, real-world training ensures that graduates are well-prepared to excel in any role they take on, just as they would have been with CIDESCO certifications.
-
International Employment Opportunities
Much like CIDESCO, CIBTAC qualifications open doors to employment across the globe. Employers recognize CIBTAC-trained professionals for their technical expertise, commitment to excellence, and ability to deliver outstanding client services. It’s your passport to a successful international career.
-
Commitment to Professionalism and Ethics
Both CIDESCO and CIBTAC emphasize the importance of professionalism, client care, and ethical practices in the beauty and wellness industry. With CIBTAC, you’ll gain the skills and knowledge to uphold these values, which are crucial for building trust and excelling in the industry.
-
A More Tailored, Flexible Approach
One of the reasons we’ve transitioned exclusively to CIBTAC is its adaptability and focus on specialisation. CIBTAC courses offer a streamlined and modern approach to beauty and wellness education, allowing us to better meet the diverse needs of our students while maintaining the same international recognition and career prospects you’d expect from CIDESCO.
Do You Want To Fast-Track Your Beauty Career?
While the CIBTAC qualification is an in-depth and prestigious course designed to set you up with the best skills for international success, we also offer a faster alternative for those eager to jumpstart their career in beauty.
Our Level 2 & Level 3 Beauty Therapy course provide a fast-track pathway into the beauty industry. This shorter course is perfect for students who want to gain the foundational and advanced skills required to begin working sooner. With these qualifications, you can build a strong base in beauty therapy while still having the option to pursue further qualifications later on if you choose to expand your expertise.
Whether you decide to take the in-depth CIBTAC route or start with the Level 2 & 3 Beauty Therapy courses, you’ll receive high-quality training tailored to help you succeed in this exciting and rewarding industry. Rest assured, with these options, you’ll be well-equipped to achieve your career goals in beauty and wellness!
