WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

Real People, Real Success

I recently attended a Cavitation course at the Academy of Beauty Training. I want to say how excellent the entire process was. I was met at the train station and conveyed to the Academy where I was greeted by Helen. I had arranged to stay at the Academy overnight free of charge, due to the distance travelled. I can only describe the accommodation as being first class! The course was delivered by Nicky on a one to one basis. I have never met anyone as passionate and knowledgeable as Nicky and by the end of the two day course I was full of confidence in operating the machine. The aftercare to the course is second to none and I would recommend attendance of this course to anyone thinking of using a Cavitation machine. Many Thanks

Rebecca

Ultrasound Cavitation course

Salon owner in Hampshire

Thank you Nicky for all your patience and expertise when teaching me the Radio Frequency machine at the Academy of Beauty Training. Your teaching was so much better than what I was used to getting at college and I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I would definitely recommend this course and I would like to come back to the Academy for any other training I want to take in the future.

Therapist from Northampton

I have just completed a Combined Laser and IPL course at the Academy of Beauty Training in Nottingham, after much searching I decided they would provide the most suitable training for me. The course was on a one to one basis which I prefer. This gave me plenty of time for practical experience and to ask various questions.

It was extremely convenient they picked me up from the train station and provided me with 5 star accommodation within the grounds of the school. When I have decided what course to do next I will be in touch with Helen at the Academy of Beauty Training. I cannot recommend the training highly enough.

Nicola Stavrinou

I started my level 2 beauty training back in October with the intension of gaining level 4 ASAP, Helen was very accommodating with my diary fitting around my childcare issues. And the training I received from Nikki was amazing very thorough and was always happy to repeat and practice treatments and technics that I felt I was less confident with. The accommodation provided free of charge was to a very high standard I’m going to miss my time spent with them. I’m hoping to expand my business in the near future and will definitely use the academy again to expand my skill and treatments I can offer my clients.

Sally Patterson Wheeler

I would highly recommend The Beauty Academy as a place to train. The trainers are so knowledgeable and supportive. The pace is perfect and the setting with the accommodation and learners lounge is perfect if you are not local. A huge thank you to Nicky and Julie who are so knowledgeable and excellent tutors.

Joanne Espinoza

Completed level 2 VTCT facials on a 4 day course and it has been an amazing experience! The tutors are extremely knowledgeable and excellent teachers. The accommodation is five star! I have been thoroughly looked after and made feel very welcome. I have more courses booked and looking forward to returning. Thanks so much to the team x

I had an amazing experience during my 4‑day course. The tutors were patient, knowledgeable and genuinely supportive, which made learning both enjoyable and confidence‑building. I also stayed in the academy’s accommodation and honestly, it it is a 5‑star stay — the room was spotless, well kept, peaceful and I had more than enough pillows to sleep comfortably. I’m truly grateful for the whole experience.

I’ve been to the academy twice now, staying in their 5‑star accommodation while completing my Level 2 Facials and Lipo Cavitation + RF courses. I was even picked up from the station, which made everything so easy.
The courses may be fast‑paced, but Julie, Nicky and Sidonai broke everything down in a way that made learning simple and enjoyable.
A special thank you to Helen — she helped me make the right decision when moving into the beauty industry and continues to support me with the business side. I message her and Nicky all the time, and they are always patient and available.
I’m truly grateful and will definitely be returning for more training.

I had the privilege of training for the VTCT Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Course (Level 4) with Nicky , and I was truly impressed by her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. She is exceptionally thorough in her teaching, taking the time to explain every detail clearly and ensuring full understanding without ever making the learner feel rushed or pressured. Her passion for teaching is evident, and she genuinely cares about the progress and confidence of her students. She patiently guided and corrected my technique until I felt completely comfortable and confident in my skills. Nicky is an outstanding educator and a true professional in every aspect.

The package included five-star accommodation, which greatly enhanced the overall experience. Helen was a warm and welcoming host, ensuring our stay at the academy was both comfortable and enjoyable. Her professionalism, hospitality, and attention to detail made the experience truly exceptional.
