About Us

At Allen & Walden's Kent College of Beauty Therapy we offer a full range of Beauty Therapy Courses, Massage Courses and Complementary Therapy Courses including full NVQ level 2 and 3 qualifications in Beauty Therapy. Part time fast track training in small groups.

Short courses leading to a recognised qualification are available in waxing, manicure, pedicure, facial courses, lash and brow enhancement courses and make-up courses. Level 3 short courses are also available in massage, Indian head massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, hopi ear candling and facial electrical training.

We also offer Holistic Therapy training and part time courses in aromatherapy, reflexology and Hopi ear candling.

The whole ethos of our Beauty Therapy training is to offer courses to fit our students needs. We can train students with no experience in Beauty Therapy, offer advanced courses to qualified Beauty Therapists or Holistic Therapists and refresher courses for anyone needing to update their skills. Tutor groups are always small, enabling us to fast track our students towards their chosen goals.

Allen & Walden was launched in 2006 by two friends and work colleagues Debbie Allen and Jennifer Walden. They met in 1996 when they were both working as lecturers at North West Kent College. They recognised a gap in the market for a more flexible learning approach for students needing to fit courses around both family and work life. They decided to offer high quality training and bespoke courses in the Kent area. All the courses have small tutor groups allowing students to learn at their own pace.
