About Us
CMT School of Beauty is newly established to provide the highest quality, short
term, intensive beauty therapy training courses. During every beauty course,
emphasis will be placed on practical work in small groups where each student
receives a great deal of individual attention and there is a lot of opportunity to ask
questions.
Our students will be delighted at how quickly they learn and how confident
and competent they feel after just a few days.
Since short-term private beauty courses started, approximately, 23 years ago, the
market has changed quite a bit. Today there are many schools offering courses but
these are often held in hotels, trainers homes or in local hair or beauty salons with
very little genuine quality control and consistency of standards.
We have a state of the art, purpose designed training centre in St Austell equipped
with the latest quality products and equipment essential for today’s
professional courses. The centre will be regularly inspected by verifiers from our
qualification awarding bodies.
Following successful completion of your beauty training all students are awarded
The CMT School of Beauty Diploma, which allows you to obtain insurance and start
your own business working from home or as a mobile beauty therapist.
To be employed in a salon or spa you will need to have an NVQ qualification and
we have designed our courses to help you achieve this level as quickly and
as economically as possible.
We also offer a selection of more advanced beauty courses that enable those
already skilled in the industry to further their abilities. Our beauty training courses
will be attractive to already qualified therapists who wish to add to their repertoire
and offer their clients a more extensive selection of treatments.
Whatever it is that you wish to do after your beauty training you can rely on
The Beauty University to give you the best possible start in the wonderful business
of Beauty & Nail Technology.

Why Choose the CMT School of Beauty?
There are a number of reasons why The CMT School of Beauty is your best choice of
training provider for NVQ courses:
Our commitment to you continues after your course as we provide an NVQ
coordinator for any ongoing queries.
Our training courses are held in our own state of the art center. We do not
share with or sub contract out to other training companies.
Our trainers and assessors are all 'beauty' people and are just a phone call
away to help at any time.
The courses we offer are continually updated to provide you with the best
start to your new career.
The CMT School of Beauty NVQ course is a great flexible way for students to
achieve an 'industry-ready' qualification. Following practical training days,
students are sent written assignments and a list of treatments to complete
from home. Additional practical support days are also available on request.
To comply with the rigorous NVQ assessment procedure, it is essential that
students can provide female models to work on during their assessment
days.
Written tests are an essential part of an NVQ qualification. A good command
of the English language, both written and verbal is therefore required to
complete this award.
Following your intensive CMT School of Beauty Diploma courses,
approximately 16-20 weeks should be allowed to achieve the NVQ Level
qualification.
The course prices include training, assessment and registration fees. Starter
Kits are highly recommended so that you can start practicing and earning as
soon as the course finishes.
