Beauticians are specialists in discussing and understanding client requirements, analysing and advising on skincare and beauty regimes, giving treatments, and applying cosmetics. Completion of a Beauty Therapy diploma can lead to job roles such as beauty therapist, spa manager, salon manager and dermatology specialist, to name a few.

This industry is particularly strong, with nearly £2 billion a year spent on beauty treatments. Forecasts also predict that between 2020 and 2025, the increase in jobs for beauticians and related roles in England are set to see a 4% increase, which is much higher than the overall job market.
