Service Enterprises
Welcome to one of our most popular sectors! We’ve developed over 200 qualifications across 11 sectors, with more than 50 in Hair and Beauty, including treatments and therapies connected to body image and grooming, and in other Service Enterprises.
Most treatments and grooming specialities are covered, including hairdressing, makeup, body piercing and intimate waxing, nail art and tattoo removal.
