In 2021 I completed my level 3 AET through Havering Beauty Academy. Katie was really helpful throughout with any questions I had. The process was straight forward and well managed. It was great to be able to get my level 3 AET somewhere that focused in the beauty industry as I will be teaching in this industry it was tailored to my needs. Many thanks to Havering Beauty.

I did a teaching qualification with katie when there were many covid restrictions in place. Katie managed to still carry out the course with zoom classes which were carried out in a professional but yet relaxed manner.Once the covid restrictions eased I was able to go to the academy to finish my teaching course. I was very pleased with how I was taught and was over the moon to have had passed my course.I am looking at starting the assessors course this year to complete my teaching qualifications.Would highly recommend this academy to anyone looking at doing a beauty or hair course.

I had my level 2 beauty training and level 3 intimate waxing with Havering Beauty Academy. My tutor Angelique is one of the most patient, professional, supportive and kindest tutor I ever had, also I got a lots of support and help from Katy who is always there and happy to help even today, any time I go to her with any questions. I already spoke to her to take my next, third course with them which I can’t wait 😍
