Payment plans for aesthetics and beauty training

Yes. Pay Cosmetic College directly: a 0% in-house plan (30% now plus a £250 admin fee, then 3, 6 or 9 months with no interest and no credit check) or a separate deposit + balance route (10% or £250, whichever is greater). Or apply for Klarna or Snap Finance. Use the calculator below, then speak to admissions.

Four ways to pay

Pay us directly first, then choose a third-party finance partner if that suits you better.

In-house payment plans

In-house payment plan (0%)

Anyone we would enrol can use this route. There is no third-party credit check and no interest.

Pay 30% now plus a £250 admin fee to secure your place, then split the remainder over 3, 6 or 9 months at 0%. The training total stays the same; the admin fee is the only extra charge for using a payment plan.

3 or 6 months on any course. 9 months only when your booking includes a Level 7 (L7 certificate, L7 diploma, or a pathway/package that includes Level 7).

Admissions set the instalment start date and send monthly invoices.

Deposit and balance

Deposit + balance

Secure your place with a booking deposit of 10% or £250, whichever is greater. This is separate from the 30% upfront plus £250 admin fee on an in-house plan.

Pay the remaining fees at the latest fourteen days before your first practical session.

Once the deposit is paid, you can start the online theory. Practical days still need the balance or an in-house plan in place as admissions confirm.

Klarna and Snap Finance

Klarna / Snap Finance

Apply with the partner when you are ready to book. You must be 18+. Credit is subject to status.

Can I pay Cosmetic College directly?

Yes. You can use our 0% in-house payment plan or pay a deposit with the balance before you start. In-house plans do not involve a third-party credit check.

Do you charge interest on in-house plans?

No. In-house plans are 0% interest: pay 30% now plus a £250 admin fee, then spread the remaining training balance over 3, 6 or 9 months. The admin fee is the only extra charge for using a payment plan.

What is the deposit?

The booking deposit is 10% or £250, whichever is greater. The balance is due fourteen days before your first practical session. This is separate from the 30% upfront (plus £250 admin fee) on an in-house plan.

Can I start the e-learning on a deposit?

Yes. Once the deposit (or the in-house 30% plus admin fee) is paid, you can start the online theory. Practical days still need the balance / plan in place as admissions confirm.
