Beauty therapy covers all aspects of treatment to the face and body which enhance appearance and bring well-being to the client.
VTCT is accredited to offer NVQ and SVQ in beauty therapy at Levels 1, 2 and 3, with the Make-Up and Massage routes, as well the Level 3 in Spa Therapy.
We also offer a range of our own specialist beauty qualifications including theatrical and media make-up, mendhi and henna skin decoration, fashion/ photographic make up and many others. Depilation and epilation are growing areas of study and our own nails courses complement the N/SVQs.
