How to Get Your Beauty Courses Accredited with Professional Beauty Development

If you’re a beauty educator, trainer or course provider, having your courses accredited can help demonstrate that your training has been reviewed against an established set of standards. At Professional Beauty Development (PBD), we make the accreditation process straightforward, with a clear step-by-step route from application to accreditation.

Whether you offer online beauty courses, classroom-based training or a combination of both, here’s how you can get your courses accredited with PBD.

What Does Beauty Course Accreditation Mean?

Course accreditation is a way of having your training materials and course structure reviewed by an external accreditation organisation.

For beauty educators, accreditation can provide an additional level of recognition for their courses and give students confidence that the training has gone through an accreditation process.

At PBD, we work with beauty professionals and educators who want to have their courses reviewed and accredited.

Step 1: Choose Your Accreditation Package

The first step is to choose the accreditation package that suits your business and courses.

PBD offers accreditation packages from £80 per course, with payment plans available to help spread the cost.

Think about the courses you want to submit and the level of accreditation that best fits your current training business.

If you offer several courses, you can also consider which courses you want to have accredited first before expanding your accreditation portfolio.

Step 2: Complete Your Application

Once you’ve selected your package, you’ll need to complete the PBD application form.

You’ll provide information about your course and submit the relevant course documents for review. This allows the accreditation team to assess your training materials and ensure the required information is included.

Your course documentation may include things such as your course manual, modules, learning materials, assessments and other supporting documents depending on the type of training you provide.

Tip: Before submitting your application, make sure your course materials are organised and up to date. This can make the review process much easier.

Step 3: Your Course Is Reviewed

After your application and documents have been submitted, your course will go through the accreditation review process.

PBD aims to review applications within 48 hours when the application and required documentation are complete.

If anything needs clarification or additional information is required, you may be contacted during the process.

The review helps ensure your course documentation is suitable for accreditation and that your students have the relevant learning information and resources they need.

Step 4: Receive Your Accreditation

Once your course has successfully completed the review, you’ll receive your accreditation from Professional Beauty Development.

Your course can then be promoted as PBD accredited, giving you another way to communicate the accreditation status of your training to prospective students.

PBD accreditation can be used across a range of beauty training subjects, making it suitable for educators offering different types of professional beauty courses.

What Happens After Accreditation?

Getting your course accredited is only the beginning. Once accredited, you can start incorporating your accreditation into your course marketing.

You could showcase your accreditation on your:

• Website

• Course sales pages

• Social media

• Course manuals

• Student information

You can also provide students with certificates that state the PBD accreditation, helping them see that their course has been delivered through an accredited training provider.
