Great News for 16-18 Year Olds: Completely FREE Award Courses are now Available at LCBT!

It has just been announced that for a short time only 16-18 year olds will be able to enrol on FREE City and Guilds Award Courses. These courses range in skills from Threading to Self Tanning and can be completed in up to just 5 days!

The courses are government funded for 16-18 year olds and LCBT have now taken the decision to remove compulsory Kits from these courses too! The materials used on the courses will be provided free of charge by London College of Beauty Therapy, and you can then choose to purchase an additional kit on completion of their course if they wish.

New courses and dates will be added over the next few weeks and as there is no limit to the number of free Award Courses you can enrol on, it is advised to that you get in contact with CA quickly as demand is expected to be high.

City and Guilds Award Courses are great for adding new skills to your CV, making you even more employable once qualified as you will have a greater range of treatments to be able to offer clients.

Over 19 year olds who receive certain benefits are also able to receive free tuition on many City and Guilds Award Courses, although they are entitled to pay for their exam registration fee which is £52 per course. This is still an incredible price as these courses would usually cost between £100-800!

Over 19 year olds students not receiving benefits are also able to attend as many Award Courses as they like in order to gain new qualifications and skills within the industry. However over 19’s (non-concessionary) are not currently eligible to receive government funding for their tuition fees and will therefore have to pay fees for their tuition, and exam registration.

A full list of available dates can be found here and more information about each Award course can be found on Moodle.

You are also able to enrol on many of these short qualifications if you are not a current LCBT student. They are great as a taster of the industry, or just as a bit of fun!

To enrol on a FREE award courses please contact Central Admissions by calling 020 7208 1300, emailing ca@lcbt.co.uk or visiting them at LCBT, 47 Great Marlborough Street, London W1F 7JP during their opening hours.
