Funding has been made available to many organisations, at community level, for delivery of Beauty, Complementary and Fitness related programme's. The amount of teaching opportunities, outside of VEC's and private colleges, has vastly increased, and also, the major skincare, cosmetic and makeup brands have become very selective in recruiting trainers and sales reps; and will also be favourable towards those who with a teaching qualification. Many of our graduates have already secured full and part-time teaching positions.

The providers of the teacher training programme should also provide you with support throughout your studies and a clear outline of what is expected during the programme.
When choosing a provider you should be aware that some companies will only provide you with the theories underpinning teaching, but will not provide supervised teaching practice or opportunities to practice your teaching skills.

Support throughout your teacher training is also crucial, as you will be required to undertake a lot of self directed learning. Your training provider and senior tutors should be accessible at least five days a week by phone or email.
