Welcome to Champneys College

Last few  places  remaining on our CIDESCO and  New Horizons part-time  courses starting in September.

 

 

The Champneys Group is offering a unique opportunity of guaranteed employment for CIDESCO students.

 

The College offers exceptional training in Beauty Therapy. Founded in 1976, we are recognised as:

• A leader in Beauty Therapy training in the UK.
• Delivering consistently high standards. 
• Having an outstanding examination success rate. 
• Producing beauty therapists with all-round professionalism. 

 

Set within the spacious grounds of Champneys Resort, Tring in Hertfordshire. The College enjoys a tranquil setting yet has excellent communication links to London and major motorways. The College attracts students from all over the world and Champneys trained aestheticians and therapists are regarded as exceptionally professional and highly qualified beauty therapists able to take the most prestigious jobs available.

 

Champneys College is now in its 32nd successful year, offering Beauty Therapy training.

The Health and Leisure industry is now and will continue to be a growth area, with many avenues to explore and having listened to feedback and concerns from parents and past students, we recognise that applicants may be anxious, in this current challenging economic climate, that graduates may have difficulty in finding the right employment opportunities.

 

In recognising this, Mr Stephen Purdew, Champneys owner and Ms Jo Parker, Champneys Spa Director have offered a unique opportunity whereby the Champneys Group is now in a position to guarantee CIDESCO students the 600 hours employment required to obtain the full CIDESCO diploma.  The opportunity will be available in the Champneys Resorts and Day Spas and will further assist and benefit graduates in their continuing career path.

 

A degree of flexibility is required in your location choice and working patterns.

Successful graduates will be offered employment over a 6 month period.  Graduates will need to be recommended by Champneys College and have achieved a satisfactory level of customer care, attendance, timekeeping, attitude and appearance standards etc.
