The Course
This course is a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ), a nationally recognised qualification which has a common structure and design. NVQs follow a similar format for all occupational and vocational sectors. The award of an NVQ demonstrates that a person has the competence, skill and knowledge to perform job roles effectively in their occupational area.

Course Content
An NVQ at Level 2 includes the following units:
  • G1 Ensure your own actions reduce the risk to health and safety

Most units have an anatomy and physiology knowledge requirement and, therefore, this is included in your timetable.
To cover core units of your course, it is essential to understand and be aware of legislation surrounding the beauty therapy industry and, therefore, professional practice is also included in your course structure.
Part of your duties will include running a client clinic in the role of salon manager and working on reception.
As part of this course we encourage work experience, preferably in a beauty salon.

Assessment/Exams
VTCT requires that the performance is fully competent and, therefore, candidates will be continually assessed in a realistic working environment carrying out the above treatments. Some units require assignments, written exams and oral questioning to cover performance criteria and essential knowledge and understanding of the above units. Each candidate will have their own portfolio for which they will be responsible.

  • In-store cosmetic departments
  • Sales
  • Leisure centres
