Choosing A Training Provider

The process of choosing a training provider can be overwhelming. You probably know better than us that there are so many things to consider. However, we believe that there are 10 top things (that are more important than others)  to consider when you decide on your training provider.

1: Course structure and how can this benefit you

The course structure can make or break your training. You will need to make sure that everything that you are taught will benefit you and your future clients. Meaning that you feel confident at the end of training and are ready for your practical assessments.

2: Equipment

It is essential to know which equipment you would be using. The better quality equipment, the better the results on models in your assessments or clients.

3: Virtual or in-person training

Virtual training means that you can be trained from anywhere in the world. Whilst in-person training leads to hands-on experience. The Cosmetic College offers both in-person, hybrid and online classes depending on the course.

4: Class size

The smaller the class, the better – smaller classes ensure that each student receives support and individual attention. Our classes at the Cosmetic College have a maximum of 6 students per class.

5: Price & Payment plans 

Payment plans enable you to spread the cost of a course and help you pay for a course over time instead of all at once. At the Cosmetic College, we offer different types of payment plans, such as Klarna and Payl8r.

6: Accreditation 

You need to ensure that the courses are accredited so that you are taught and assessed in the correct framework. For instance, all courses taught at the Cosmetic College are accredited either by ABT, OfQual or CPD

7: The company's core values and aspirations for students 

A company’s core values are a direct representation of what they believe in and this will affect the way they teach students. A training provider should go the extra mile to support their students and support them during their course and after. The Cosmetic College’s core values are here.

8: Student/tutor’s review of the company 

It is fundamental that training providers reveal student and tutor reviews of the company, whether they are good or bad. 

9: The tutors experience in the industry 

To find out about the team or tutors, you will need to find out about the company and the type of employees they have. Whilst some training providers show their staff on their website, others do not. At the Cosmetic College, information about the company and the staff is here.

10: Blogs & Newsletters

Blogs and newsletters show that a training provider wants to build a relationship with their readers. They want to educate their reader and answer potential questions outside their taught lessons.
