UK beauty therapy training school Champneys International College of Beauty is looking to extend its portfolio into the capital, as it partners with the London College of Contemporary Arts (LCCA).

The Tring, Hertfordshire-based Champneys will be launching a selection of beauty courses at LCCA’s Holborn-based facility.

“In this, the 40th anniversary year of the Champneys College, we usher in another exciting landmark,” said Rachel Halling, Champneys College principal. “We’re taking the Champney’s name to the capital and building on what is already a renowned reputation."

LCCA specialises in multi-arts courses including fashion, design, photography, tourism, interior design, PR and media, and the new beauty courses will provide an extension to that list.

The 12-week courses will begin in October, with three days of classes per week and new student advanced learner loans available.

“Partnering with London College of Contemporary Arts is only going to strengthen our commitment to developing the next generation of beauty specialists,” said Halling. “With strong employment possibilities for students, we’re hoping this partnership is the start of a very bright future for everyone involved.”
