Originally based in Devon, the Carlton Institute is now a multi-award winning, nationwide training company with 16 centres across the UK and Ireland that continues to provide an unrivalled range of over 60 short courses in beauty, nail and holistic therapy.
All of our tutors are highly skilled and qualified with a wealth of experience in the industry gained from managing salons and spas through to working with multi-million pound organisations.
Our Courses
All of our courses are accredited by VTCT and approved by Habia, so you can be assured that you are receiving the very highest standard of training. On passing any of our courses, you will receive the nationally recognised Carlton Institute Diploma, which will allow you obtain insurance, so that you can start offering your new treatments to clients. Furthermore, many of our courses give you the option to advance your learning by achieving an NVQ qualification, which is perfect if you would like to gain employment in a spa, salon or abroad.
We strive to work with premium brands, so that you train with industry leading products. After your training, you can purchase everything you need to complete your treatments from our online Trade Shop, which stocks a wide range of products at competitive prices.
