About Us

My name is Bev, and I’m the CEO of Kneads Training Academy & Therapy Centre. With over 10 years of experience in the industry, I’ve gained extensive knowledge from both the FE and private hair & beauty sectors. In 2018, I founded the academy to help individuals achieve their goals without the stress of large classes and rigid, year-long programs found in traditional colleges. Our mission is to provide the same quality training and qualifications in a more flexible and supportive environment.

As the largest independent training provider in St Helens within the Beauty & Hair industry, we offer a wide variety of private and funded courses, including regulated education qualifications such as Level 3 & 5 in Education & Training, Level 3 Assessors, and L4 IQA, among others.

We pride ourselves on our small class sizes, which ensure a personalized learning experience, and our highly skilled tutors who are experts in their respective fields. Whether you’re attending classes during the day, evening, or weekends, we make it easy to fit your education around your everyday life.
