CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND BENEFITS

The beauty and complementary therapy sectors have seen significant growth over the past five years.  Funding has been made available to many organisations, at community level, for delivery of beauty and complementary related programme's  The amount of teaching opportunities, outside of VEC's and private colleges, has vastly increased and also the major skincare, cosmetic and makeup brands have become very selective in recruiting trainers and sales reps; and will also be favourable towards those who with a teaching qualification.  Many of our graduates have already secured full and part-time teaching positions.

The providers of the teacher training programme should also provide you with support throughout your studies and a clear outline of what is expected during the programme.

When choosing a provider you should be aware that some companies will only provide you with the theories underpinning teaching, but will not provide supervised teaching practice or opportunities to practice your teaching skills.
