Beauty Training Courses in Hampshire

Southern School of Beauty Therapy, Hampshire:
Southern School of Beauty Therapy, based in the Hampshire countryside close to Portsmouth, offer expert tuition and a wide choice of courses, including holistic therapies, beauty specialist and complete nail technician. We pride ourselves on our friendly, supportive learning environment, combined with the opportunity to obtain internationally recognised qualifications.

When you successfully complete your chosen course you will be awarded the SSBT diploma. With this you can join one of the professional associations and obtain insurance. This is sufficient for many salons or if you wish to work for yourself.  However, should you wish to obtain further qualifications, you may go on to take an IHBC or IIHHT through some home study, creating a portfolio and an assessment session at our school. There is an additional charge for this.

How long will it take to obtain IHBC or IIHHT?
That depends on the individual student. If you are a fast learner, and have lots of people available to practice on, and assemble your portfolio quickly, you could be back for assessment within a few months. However, if you like to take your time, you actually have 3 years to complete!

Why are the courses so much shorter than at a state college?
Our students are extremely motivated and keen to learn and we only have a maximum of six students on a course. In a college you would spend a major part of each day on theory, whereas we spend most of the day concentrating on practical training, with a lot of the theory covered by home study, with the use of our manuals and recommended books.

Are there any hidden costs, i.e. kits to buy?
No, we do not insist on the purchase of any kits. Nor do we try to sell products to you on the day. We think you should be able to choose which product ranges you want to use, and do not promote any one brand.

We provide all the products you will need on the day to practice with and are able to give you help and advice on different suppliers available.
