What Qualifications Do I Need to Set Up A Beauty Academy?

Level 3 Award in Education & Training (PTLLS) To teach and assess in your beauty or aesthetics academy, you’ll need the Level 3 Award in Education & Training (PTLLS). This is an entry-level qualification that certifies you to teach and train others. You must be at least 19 years old and have a good standard of written and spoken English to obtain this qualification.

What courses can I offer?

When you set up your own beauty academy, you’ll have control over what is taught. You can teach 1 to 1 courses, group classes and both in-person and online. You can teach any course that you hold a qualification in, so for example if you do Gel Polish and Lash Lifts, you can teach these 2 courses. It's that simple!

How long does the AET Level 3 course take to complete?

This depends completely on how much time you can dedicate to it! The course can be completed in your own time, and expires within 1 full year.

How do I make Lesson Plans for my beauty courses?

We include a Lesson Plan Example in our teaching course, meaning you can use this as a template to create your own!

What about manuals, do I need to create my own?

You can make your own yes, however this is very time consuming! The other alternative is using a pre-written manual from a reputable company. We have worked with Start Your Own Academy for many years, as their manuals are accreditation-friendly. These manuals are fully customisable in Canva, available for you to implement your own branding style and logo, and of course, change the written content to teach in your own style.
