The Carlton institute have been providing training and support for over 16 years and have trained in excess of 15,000 students from all over the world but focus on the UK and Ireland. All our courses are modular, typically 1-5 days, and lead to a diploma or a recognised qualification from NVQ/IHBC/IIHT accredited by VTCT or BABTAC.

Our relationship with our students doesn't finish at the end of a course, we provide ongoing support by phone and email to help students maximise their investment in their performance.

All courses are taught by experienced and qualified tutors and lecturers. We are privileged to be able to draw on the wide experience of our people who have been therapists, set up individual salons and spas from scratch, through to running operations employing over 500 therapists in 3 countries over more than 40 sites.

Carlton Institute is involved at all levels of our industry with representation on the Board of Habia (the UK standard setting body for our industry) and on the Spa Business Association (the leading UK & Ireland trade association for the Spa Industry). We look forward to helping you and your people meet the needs of your spa or beauty business no matter how large or small.

The Malvern is the first spa to have a Carlton academy in house and we are proud to offer our students the spa environment in which to learn their new skills.
