In an age where you can learn almost anything online, it's no surprise that beauty training is everywhere—and at every price point.
You've probably seen them:
"Lash Technician in a Day – Just £29!"
"Fully Qualified for Under £50!"
"No Experience Needed, Instant Certificate!"
It sounds amazing, right? But before you click Buy Now… let’s talk about the real cost of cheap training.
🎓 Not All Courses Are Created Equal
The truth is: a course is only as valuable as what you can do with it.
Here’s what often happens with cheap or unaccredited courses:
-
They’re not recognised by insurers or councils
-
You can’t get insurance coverage, so you can’t legally treat clients
-
The content is outdated, shallow or completely automated
-
No practical assessment = no real skills
-
No tutor feedback, no case studies, no live demos
In short: you may get a PDF… but not a career.
🔍 What to Look for Instead
If you’re serious about working in beauty—freelance or in a salon—look for:
✅ Accredited training (look for CPD, ABT, VTCT, etc.)
✅ Insurance-ready certificates
✅ In-person or supported online learning
✅ Tutors with industry experience
✅ Hands-on practical training and case study support
✅ Clear course content and transparent expectations
💬 Why Accreditation Matters
Let’s break it down:
An accredited certificate =
✔ Trusted by salons
✔ Accepted by insurers
✔ Gives clients confidence
✔ Opens more advanced training paths
✔ Legal protection for you and your business
Cheap, non-accredited courses?
🚫 Often not accepted anywhere
🚫 No insurance = no clients
🚫 No refund when it goes wrong
