“Having only two of us here made me feel very relaxing. I understand it more could really take it in more. I would love go on more courses in the future with just 2 of us.”

“Really enjoyed the facial tutorial, did not feel confused, found the teacher's step by step guidance helpful. Sharon was very patient and soft spoken, so asking questions was not difficult. Would love to come back again to do further courses.”

“I booked with the Beauty Academy to do an NVQ Level 2 in nail services and although I thought the teaching was excellent and the tutors were very knowledgable, I was not ever told by the Beauty Academy that although I did my training in Leeds (which is where I live) the assessment days would be in Birmingham or London. There would be 3 assessment days and after paying £1000 for the course who then could afford to take 3 days off work each day paying for fuel to either Birmingham or London and also taking a model with you each day who may also have to take the days off work? I'm very disappointed with the Beauty Academy and would never book a course with them again or recommend them to anyone.”

“I attended a one day manicure and pedicure course with the Beauty Academy which I absolutely loved and learnt so much. A few weeks later I attended a UV gel nails extensions course and felt that a one day course was not suitable to learn all of the Health and Safety and technique aspects required to be able to go out as a qualified technician and complete sets of nails on clients. There are so many aspects to using nail extensions that one day cannot possibly allow a newcomer to learn, digest and feel confident to carry this treatment out on people. I left the course overwhelmed and sadly it has put me off pursuing being a nail technician as a change of career, which is hugely disheartening. The tutor was very friendly but at times I felt so confused but she was patient and supported me throughout. I don't feel like I've earnt my qualification and without paying out a fortune in supplies and insurance to go out and practice on friends, I can't imagine how I will build up my confidence and technique to start this up as a business which I was so looking forward to doing. I seriously think the course should be offered over at least two days, especially as it costs well over £150.”

“Quick, fast and speed. If u don't have any knowledge about beauty it can be quite hard catch a sense. Teachers have a knowledge but they are rude. I feel like I am 12, it should be much more professional, especially for older, mature students, but they are treat you like a child.”

“I enjoyed the course and learnt quite a bit. Katie was fantastic and trained us very well. She was very professional, friendly and skilled. She was very keen to teach with all her experience. On the other hand, Threading, manicure and pedicure with Amruta was very waste of time. She was very unprofessional trying to sell her own business and not interested in teaching in academy. I'm regretting attending to her lessons. My gratitude to Katie. Thank you Katie, you are the best.”

“I did enjoy the course despite it getting off to a confusing slow start I have however mislaid my certificate somewhere on leaving the course venue and my car ... I called for a replacement to be advised it was going to cost me £50 Shocking !!!”

“To whom it may concern I studied both my nvq 2 and level three with the beauty academy and spent a large amount of money with them. My Nvq level 2 was smooth no problems and I passed with confidence I had a really nice teacher who gave me support guidance and was an asset to there company this lady was who made me want to continue my level 3 with the beauty academy however within a few weeks of starting my level 3 i ran into problems within my personal life unfortunately my father died my husband was having an affair and some other terrible things happened coral was helpful and allowed me to continue once i was sorted and my mind was a bit more together but the original course i had booked was not what i returned to i had paid that bit extra to attend a class every sunday with good one to one support and guidance i felt left in limbo with my treatments and my written work and i became stressed and very upset i then had to cut out my electrical facials out of my package cause i simply couldn't get the support and help i needed i just feel once a student has spent large amounts of money like that there should be better support and should be allowed to attend classes until they are a hundred percent confident without having to then on top of what you have already paid have to pay more large amounts of money if you do need to retake a class. I got there in the end with it all and passed luckily but i will be very honest it was not a great experience for me i felt compared to my NVQ2 course my level 3 was a very bad experience for me and it made me more stressed after what i had been through i should of been put back on to the original course i had paid for or something equivalent that way i could of gained the support i needed and not failed on my electricals sometimes students do run into problems and they need more help then others and student support is something that really needs to be focused within the beauty academy i feel money is important to keep the company going but successful confident therapists is a must and once a student has paid this large fee at the start i feel it is the academys responsibility to offer the best student support possible with out adding extravagant prices when a student is in need of help and more tuition However i did pass and i am greatful for that Kind Regards Catherine Pierce”

“To be honest I found the course very basic, the girl was quite unprofessional and I left there not really knowing what I was doing! I've made contact with a different lash company to get some extra training, which is going to cost me even more!”
