Description

The VTCT Level 3 Certificate in Access to Aesthetic Therapies is an access course to further advanced therapy qualifications. This qualification is aimed at learners wishing to progress onto advanced level 4 aesthetic programs but who presently do not hold recognised level 2 and 3 beauty therapy qualifications.

This qualification is based on the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for relevant principles of beauty therapy and includes all the required elements to achieve a measurable and comparable qualification, which will facilitate further and additional study at levels 4 and above. Learners must achieve all mandatory units which include:

- Health and safety

- Facial therapy

- Consultation and client care

- Anatomy, physiology and pathology

-Electrical Science

Throughout this qualification, learners will develop their knowledge and understanding of relevant anatomy and physiology and health and safety pertaining to level 2 and 3 therapies. They will also develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to consult with clients and analyse their skin to help facilitate the provision of facial therapies. In parallel, learners will develop their communication and customer service skills, all of which are valued highly by employers.

This qualification offers the most direct route for learners lacking the traditional beauty pre-requisites to progress directly to level 4 therapies and above.
