This course is your next step after NVQ level 2 and it will provide you with the knowledge and skills to work competently as an advanced beauty therapist.
At NVQ level 3 beauty therapy, you will cover the same mandatory units in Level 2 but in more depth. These include client health, safety, communication, and salon service.
We provide an on-site salon where you can practice your skills on paying clients and you can fast track this course in just 8 weeks ( one day a week). Many employers seek Beauty Therapist Level 3 as their minimum requirement for employment.
In addition, insurance companies are now demanding NVQ Level 3 qualifications, especially if you plan to perform laser hair removal or advanced cosmetic treatments.

You will need a beauty qualification at Level 2 or equivalent to enroll in the Level 3 Diploma. We also expect that you will be proficient in English. During the course, you will carry out assessments, prepare a portfolio, participate in research projects, and perform tests.
You will also be required to bring some models to complete your practical assessments.
Please note: The course duration is teaching time. Assessments exams are done after class or on allocated assessments dates.
We offer electric epilation, also called electrolysis, and body electrics modules in our NVQ Level 3 because of the popularity of these treatments, including for male clients. And we've found that employers often prefer therapists who have received electrolysis training.
Once you have completed electrolysis you can not only offer treatments for hair removal but also Advanced Cosmetic Procedures (ACP) for the removal of warts, blood spots, skin tags, and other skin blemishes.
There are two options to take this course:
Option 1: Attend classes once a week for 20 weeks to cover theory and practical. The cost of the course is £1,500
Option 2: Attend classes once a week for 7 weeks to cover practical only and all theory is done at home, hence fast track. The cost of the course is £1,295
Qualification Fee VTCT: £84.50
Uniform Fee: Ranges from £19 to £30
After making payment, please BOOK your course via online form.
With our flexible installment plan, you can split up the payments. A 25% deposit is required to reserve your course, and you can divide the remaining amount over three payments. However, full payment must be received before completion of the course. Call now for more details at 01753 524 125
Please note you are required to do assessments on models in a realistic salon environment as per VTCT requirement. The college holds no responsibility in finding models for students. This is solely the students responsibility.
Just write your question below and I'll get straight onto it!
