Holistic clients are not after a quick fix. They want an hour where someone pays attention to them and nothing is expected in return, and they come back for that as much as for the treatment.
If that is the kind of room you want to run, this suits you. No experience needed — the theory starts from the beginning.
A holistic menu needs range: a full-body treatment, something seated and shorter, something warming, and something quieter still. Four together let you match the treatment to how the client arrives rather than offering the only thing you know.
The nine units of anatomy and physiology are studied once rather than four times, and the package costs less than the courses individually.
Seven modules and forty-three assessed units, with anatomy and physiology making up nine of them — holistic work still rests on knowing the body and the contraindications.
Begin whenever you choose; there is no intake to wait for, and Klarna or Clearpay will divide the cost into three payments.
Access is permanent, there is no completion deadline, and resubmissions are unlimited. Certificates are issued per treatment as you finish them. Business training and the private student groups are included.
The quieter treatments are harder than they look — holding an unhurried pace for an hour takes practice. You will get there.
It is one enrolment covering all four treatments. The shared theory — Foundation, anatomy and physiology and skin healthcare — is taught once rather than four times, and each treatment then has its own module.
No. The package is written for complete beginners and starts with the foundations before any of the four routines. If you already work in beauty or holistic therapy, you can move through the early modules quickly and go straight to the treatments you do not yet offer.
All four treatments come at one package price rather than four, the shared theory is taught once instead of repeated, and the 10-book Beauty Business eBook Bundle is included as a free bonus.
There are forty-three units across seven modules, so this takes noticeably longer than a single course — the four treatment modules alone come to twenty. There is no deadline, and you can work through the treatments in whichever order suits you.
Everything is online. Each unit has video tutorials and an eBook covering the theory, across all four treatments, and you can study from a computer, tablet or phone.
Every one of the forty-three units has an assessment you complete online, including each unit of the four treatment modules — three for body massage, five for Indian head, eight for hot stone and four for Hopi ear candling. If you do not pass first time, you can resubmit as many times as you need, at no extra cost.
Yes. The Ultimate Holistic Course is accredited by ABT, IPHM and IGCT, and recognised by insurers including Towergate, Radius, Insync and Balens. Insurers set their own requirements, so check what your chosen provider needs for each treatment before you start taking clients.
Yes, and with four treatments to sell it carries more weight here than on a single course. The Foundation module covers promoting your services, reception duties, taking payments, insurance and the legislation that applies once you start working with clients, and the eBook bundle goes further into the business side.
You get feedback from experienced tutors as you work through the units, and access to our private student group where you can ask questions and share your work.
Yes. You can spread the cost over three interest-free payments at the checkout.
Your diploma is issued by Next Step Beauty and carries accreditation from the bodies below. Those accreditations are what insurers look for when you come to arrange cover.
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.
