You’ve built your skills; this course helps you plan how you’ll use them. In about five to six hours of short videos, worked examples and checklists, you’ll build a simple one-page plan for your beauty business, work out prices that cover your costs, and leave with a weekly routine to help you grow at your own pace. No business experience is needed, and you don’t need clients yet.
The course is built around three questions: Where am I now? Where am I going? What will I do in the next 90 days? You’ll follow three example therapists – a newly qualified nail technician, a mobile lash and brow therapist and a home salon therapist – as they build their own plans.
No. The course starts from where you are and walks you through each step, with examples from three therapists in different situations.
Yes. Many students start with no clients at all. Your plan will help you decide how to find your first ones.
About five to six hours of study, and your plan itself takes under an hour to write. To complete the course, you’ll then spend about 10 minutes a week for four weeks on your first next steps.
There’s a short quiz at the end of each unit. To receive your certificate you upload your completed plan, one treatment worked out in the price calculator and your first four weeks of next steps.
No. You’ll receive a Next Step Beauty certificate of completion. The course is about planning and running your business rather than a treatment.
No course can promise that. What you’ll get is a clear plan, practical tools and a simple routine to help you work towards your goals at your own pace.
Yes. Plan your first 90 days to start from the day you finish your treatment course.
Your login details arrive by email as soon as you enrol, and the platform works on a computer, tablet or phone. Each unit has tutorial videos and an eBook covering the theory, followed by a multiple-choice assessment you can retake as often as you need. Completing a module unlocks the next one.
Once you have worked through the theory, you submit case studies of your practical work. Your tutor assesses them against industry standards and gives you written feedback. If they ask for changes, you can resubmit as many times as you need, at no extra cost.
When you complete the course you receive a diploma certificate, available to download straight away and yours to keep. Your course materials stay available for life, so you can go back over anything later.

Victoria Arpels
Founder and Head of Training
Victoria started where most of our students start. She trained in beauty therapy while working as a therapist in a busy spa — learning the theory in one place and practising on real clients in the other.
Then she kept adding to what she could offer, building up treatment by treatment through intensive specialist courses, before going on to earn a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) and a Certificate in Education, and to lecture in further education. She has been the student learning an unfamiliar technique and the tutor assessing someone else’s work, which is a large part of why our courses are built the way they are.
She founded Next Step Beauty in 2008 because getting good training still came down to what you could afford and how close you happened to be to a college. More than 100,000 students have trained with us since.
She has stayed close to the teaching rather than stepping back from it. As Head of Training, Victoria works with the tutor team who assess the case studies you submit and write the feedback that comes back to you, and she is personally involved in the private student groups. Whichever course you choose, you are learning from people who had to practise it themselves first.
