Much of the qualification is completed as home-study, including written and practical coursework making this an ideal route for those who wish to study flexibly around other commitments. The practical training days for this course will run from 9.30am – 4.30pm; although we ask students to arrive at 9.15am to ensure a prompt start, with a short break for lunch. You will learn the theory of the treatment firstly and spend the majority of the training days acquiring and demonstrating your practical skills. Students will need access to a pc to complete coursework. Once you have completed all training and coursework, you will arrange to attend a multiple-choice written assessment day and practical assessment days to achieve your VTCT qualification.

Whilst you are perfecting your practical skills during training, you will also be consolidating your theoretical knowledge with our comprehensive study materials. Our assessment process will ensure that your techniques, from hygiene requirements to attention to detail, are at a satisfactory industry level, and re-affirm the skills learnt during your practical training.

This exciting course is hands-on, provides you with in-depth detail on a range of facial treatments, and it is designed to prepare you to begin your career within the industry. The qualification not only provides you with extensive career opportunities, VTCT is also internationally recognised and demonstrates your ability to work to an industry-standard level of practice.

You are required to give and receive treatments as part of this course, so will be required to remove your make-up during the course. Students should also remove eyelash extensions before attending the course. You must not have received any cosmetic procedures such as skin fillers within the 12 weeks prior to attending the course. All products and tools are provided for the training days here at our Academy when you attend. No kit is required to complete the training days. You would need to purchase a facial kit to practice the treatment you have learned at home.

We provide study materials to assist you in completion of your written coursework & in preparation for your assessments.
