In the ever-evolving beauty industry, staying ahead of the curve and meeting industry standards is paramount for success, that’s why Elixir Skin Training has developed a Skin Specialist Training course. With increasing scrutiny from insurance companies, professional skincare brands, and equipment providers, having a VTCT Level 3 qualification has become essential for those aspiring to excel in facial treatments.

We’ll explore why obtaining a VTCT qualification is crucial, the difference between CPD and VTCT, and what the comprehensive Level 3 Access to Aesthetic Therapies course entails.

Why Choose a VTCT Level 3 Qualification?

In the past, the beauty industry accepted CPD accreditation for starting a business. However, the landscape has changed, and the beauty industry and government now demand higher standards. VTCT qualifications set a benchmark with rigorous assignments, exams and practical assessments, ensuring a higher level of competency. By combining VTCT with CPD, your business not only meets but exceeds industry standards, giving you a competitive edge.

Understanding the Difference Between CPD vs VTCT

The Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) serves as the national framework for UK qualifications. VTCT certifications are listed on the RQF, indicating that individuals holding these certificates are ‘qualified’ in their respective subjects. On the other hand, CPD (Continuing Professional Development) is skill-specific training developed by individuals or organisations, not regulated by the framework, and confers skills rather than qualifications. Have a look at our Blog where we explain this further.

Enhancing Revenue with a Comprehensive Skillset

To thrive as a skin specialist, a diverse skillset is essential. While CPD may cover specific skills, combining it with VTCT opens up new avenues. For instance, some specialist treatments are mostly available as CPD, and integrating it with a VTCT qualification broadens your service offerings, ultimately boosting revenue.

VTCT Level 3 Access to Aesthetic Therapies Course:

This comprehensive course is tailored for both beginners and experienced practitioners. It covers the VTCT Level 2 Facial Therapy, making it accessible for newcomers to the field. The course includes:

  • Level 3 Access to Aesthetic Therapies (VTCT)
  • Microdermabrasion (CPD)
  • LED Light Therapy (CPD)
  • Dermaplaning (CPD)
  • Chemical Peels (CPD)
  • Microneedling (CPD)
  • Nano Needling (CPD)

This course is a combination of VTCT qualifications and CPD accredited courses. If you’d like to further develop as a skin specialist or proceed towards a fully qualified status then we recommend substituting the CPD courses for government approved Level 4 qualifications, have a look at our Blog where we cover Level 4 Aesthetic Skin Care Courses.

Becoming a skin specialist equipped with a VTCT Level 3 qualification not only meets industry standards but sets you apart in a competitive market. The comprehensive training offered in the Level 3 Access to Aesthetic Therapies course ensures that you gain expertise in various facial treatments, setting the stage for a successful and fulfilling career in the skincare industry. Explore the possibilities, invest in your education, and unlock your potential as a qualified and skin specialist.
