Beauty apprenticeships and training

Where careers in beauty begin

Turning passion into profession

At Armonia Training Academy, we bring together learners and employers to create meaningful apprenticeships that lead to real careers. Our programmes blend classroom learning with hands-on experience, covering everything including technical knowledge, practical skills, professionalism and wellbeing. Every apprentice is supported throughout their journey – guided, valued, and ready to succeed.

We're proud to be recognised for excellence, innovation and learner support.

Earn while you learn

An apprenticeship combines real work with structured learning – giving you the knowledge and skills to build a career. You will earn while you learn, gain hands-on experience in a professional environment, and develop the professional behaviours employers value most. It’s a practical, rewarding route into long-term employment.

Learners

Take your first step into a rewarding career. Gain hands-on experience, earn as you learn, and build skills that last a lifetime.

'I would honestly say that it is such a great opportunity! I love the fact that with an apprenticeship you get real life, on the job experiences, which increase your knowledge and confidence, and shows what the career will be like, which personally I feel some courses unfortunately don’t.

This apprenticeship will shape my future by providing me with my qualifications for level 2 and level 3. In the more distant future, it will give me great skills and knowledge for whichever route I decide to take with my beauty therapy.'

'My apprenticeship has given me a lot more confidence and I can now recommend products and treatments that I think suit my client, with the confidence knowing that it’s right for them.

I would definitely recommend it as you get to earn whilst you learn but also once the subject is passed you can perform that treatment on the shop floor.'

My apprenticeship gives me a great opportunity to learn and work at the same time. I learn a lot from my colleagues and I am able to use my knowledge at the workplace and master my skills.

An apprenticeship is a really good way to get qualifications and gain hands-on experience in a work environment. 'It really helped me develop my skills further and learn new ones, especially working with different clients - it helped improve my client care.'

'I’d definitely recommend anyone to start an apprenticeship if they were thinking about it. It’s great for getting you used to working in an environment with real clients, and really builds your client confidence, as well as the skills you’re training in. '

Case study

Lorum ipsum

I first began my apprenticeship with Champneys as my employer and Armonia Training Academy as my provider in September 2019. I had always wanted to get into the beauty industry and when I came across this apprenticeship, I felt it could be the perfect fit.

I feel the apprenticeship program has been really good for me and has allowed me to learn new skills and build confidence at the same time. I would not hesitate in recommending anyone to look at an apprenticeship as a way to develop and secure employment. I’m looking forward to being able to get back to the Spa and continue to progress onto the next level with my level 3 wellbeing and holistic therapy apprenticeship.
