Carolyne Cross. Principle of Omni Academy of Beauty, comments:
"We are so excited at the prospect of finding some raw talent and giving one lucky person this incredible opportunity. It's a bit like the X Factor of the beauty world for us!"
What we are really looking for is a dynamic and passionate person who is really keen to launch themselves into a career as a Beauty Therapist or within the Beauty Industry. No matter which avenue within the industry you choose to pursue, a professionally recognised qualification is essential these days and once you have them you can apply for membership to the relevant professional bodies. Having an all important government recognised VTCT recognition in place will improve those career prospects and indeed making those career dreams a reality is what we're all about. So if you would love to work in an environment which has a vibrant mix of fashion and glamour, then we can certainly help! And with your new VTCT accreditation, you will be welcomed into the industry with open arms!
"I always knew I wanted to work in Beauty. I really struggled at school and my self-esteem was very low. I joined Omni Academy of Beauty through a Scholarship Scheme at 16 and they helped build up my confidence and taught me to believe in myself. I am now working at a high end spa and absolutely love my job" - Tabitha- Previous Scholarship Student
The Omni VTCT NVQ Level 2 Diploma will involve an intensive 15 week training programme running from September to December this year, followed by a further 15 weeks training between April and September 2017 to complete the NVQ Level 3 Diploma.
