Students
Why do I need insurance as a student?
Whilst carrying out case studies or any other treatments that are performed outside of your college can leave you legally liable for any loss or damage to other peoples' property, injury, harm or financial loss alleged to have been caused. The repercussions of this are serious and can harm your professional reputational.
Before you are qualified you MUST:
- Only practice treatments for case study purposes
- Carry out the treatment as you have been taught by your college/training provider
- Charge below market rate for treatments, to cover the cost of your treatment products/consumables only
- Make sure your client is aware you are still training (ask them to sign a declaration stating that you have informed them of this)
Following these steps, and making sure you review each case study regularly with your teacher, will help to ensure your student insurance cover is valid.

What happens when I am qualified?
Once you have qualified in level 2 beauty therapy, your insurance will need to be upgraded, this will cover you for the treatments that you
are now qualified to do and will cover any case studies you will be required to perform whilst studying for level 3.
The treatments that will be covered under your Student upgrade package are:
- Basic manicure and pedicure treatments
- Eye treatments
- Tanning treatments
- Basic facials
- Basic Waxing
Now you are qualified, you can charge market rate for the above treatments but any Level 3 case studies, as above, will need to cover the cost of
your treatment products/consumables only.
What insurance do I require once I am fully qualified in levels 2 and 3 beauty therapy?
Once you have qualified in level 2 and 3 your insurance package will again need to be upgraded to a full therapist insurance.
BABTAC's full membership will provide you with the cover needed for this along with a full membership, giving you access to all of
our member benefits. You will be expected to provide all of your training certificates, these will be recorded on your membership profile
