What Happens If I Don't Pass?

If your assessment does not quite reach the required standard, its not a problem!

We will assess your work and give you feedback whether you pass or not yet passed the assessment. If not yet passed, we will offer you more guidance as to what needs to be improved for you to become successful and will invite you to re-submit your assessment.

This does not necessarily mean redoing the whole assessment, so please do not panic.

The most common reasons for being asked to re-submit the assessment are missing required images/videos or misunderstanding what is required of you to provide. You will only need to re-submit anything which is missing or needs improvement.

We will then reassess and continue this process until we are happy you have completed the required standards of practice in order for you to complete your qualification.

Do I Need Insurance?

YES, everyone in the industry must hold full insurance before providing ANY treatments on anyone, this includes practicing before qualified also!

It is your responsibility to check with your potential / existing insurance provider to ensure you can gain public liability insurance, business insurance and any council licence requirements BEFORE booking onto our courses. We will NOT be held responsible for you not being able to obtain insurance following our courses.

How Will I Be Assessed?

You will be required to take theory quizzes throughout the course and must pass with at least 70% pass rate. This will show us you have the knowledge of what is required before moving on to the practical assessment.  

In addition to this, you will need to take videos / images of your practical work and submit these as case studies via your student portal for us to assess your practical skills.

Purchasing a course alone without submitting any case studies does not provide you with a qualification. You must submit your assessments for evidence to show you are competent to carry out this service / treatment to the required standard within the industry.

All the above will be assessed prior to passing your qualification. Upon passing this, you will receive your certificate.

Are There any Practical Assessments?

As with all certifications, some minimal practical requirements need to be met in order to receive your qualification. These will be submitted via in depth photo / video evidence and assessed to ensure you meet all standards, and feedback will be given on each individual submission. However, these assessments are designed with one intention: to teach you professional beauty skills and for you to be able to practice these skills safely.

As there is no time limit on our courses, you can take as long as you need to reach the minimum practical requirements of the course.

Can I Complete My Assessment On A Live Model?

Yes, absolutely, we encourage you to do this. Once you have worked your way through the training manual, you can then complete your practical skills on a mannequin head, nail training hand or a live model.

We recommend you practice several times before completing your final assessment to gain confidence and before submitting to us to be assessed.

How Long Will It Take For My Assessments to be Marked?

We like to complete assessments as soon as possible, as we know you will be excited to get started within the industry.

Typically, your assessment will be marked within 10 working days. However, if we have a huge number of assessments submitted at the same time, this can take a little longer. Exams will be marked instantly via the student portal. However, you will not have your final result until all your assessments have been marked.

If you pass the theory exams and are still waiting for your practical assessment to be marked, you are NOT yet qualified.

You must wait for all materials to be marked and feedback will be given before completing any treatments on paying clients.
