What you need to know about your course

  • Is VTCT equivalent to NVQ?

    **NVQ** – NVQ stands for National Vocational Qualifications. This is the general name given to the courses in the UK. It is important to understand this is not just a certificate for knowledge but also for your skills. **VTCT** – Vocational Training Charitable Trust – this is the assessment organisation that will ultimately award the certificate for your diploma in beauty therapy. Our NVQ courses are awarded by VTCT. This is why you may see the two acronyms used at the same time.

  • What can I do after a Level 2 Beauty Therapy Course?

    On successful completion of our Level 2 courses, you could progress to a higher level course, such as Level 3, an apprenticeship or other employment.

  • Will my NVQ/VTCT beauty or aesthetics qualification expire?

    You do not need to renew an NVQ as they don't expire.

  • How will you be assessed?

    For each unit of the level 2 beauty therapy course, you will perform practical skills, submit coursework and sit for tests. Assessment will be continuous throughout the duration of your course. The beauty training consists of practical assessments, oral questions, theory tests, and assignments. At the end of the course, you must provide evidence to determine whether you have reached the required level of competence. Written assessment papers will give further evidence of your knowledge and understanding of the subject. The collation of the assessments will be contained in a portfolio which will contain all document feedback sheets, including all written work.

  • What are our beauty therapy course tutors like?

    We take great care in selecting our team of educators and staff members. All our tutors possess subject qualifications in the specific areas they teach as well as teaching qualifications. This ensures that they are well-equipped to teach and guide students effectively. We prioritise candidates with a substantial background in the industry.
