hi i am 20 and i want to do a nvq2 beauty course that is part time.
i have 6 c’s and 1 b, the course says i need c’s or above in english maths and science? the only one i don’t have is Science. Is it a waste of time me going to the interview or is there a chance they will let me do it anyway?
Any answers will be appreciated!
You will not do this course at a university because it is at Level 2, and universities start at Level 4. You will most likely apply to a college of further education or a specialist beauty academy.
The English, Maths and Science are important because beauty therapy goes into human anatomy and physiology, physics (for the electrical machine therapies), chemistry (for the skin treatments and products), arithmetic and calculation (for deciding product quantities and prices). The English is obvious: you have to be able to read manufacturers’ technical instructions, prepare reports on clients’s conditions, make recommendations on aftercare and send letters to various people.
If you don’t have a C in Science, go ahead anyway and the college or academy could provide you with a special top-up programme. If you have no Science whatever, then you may need to reconsider beauty therapy as a NVQ2 course. There are other courses with different entry requirements, and some don’t need Science at the start.
