Questions and answers

What people ask us before they apply. Each course page has its own questions too.

Which course should I start with?

If you are new to beauty, start with the VTCT Level 3 Certificate in Access to Aesthetic Practice. It needs no previous experience and leads on to our VTCT Level 4 Laser Hair Removal and Skin Rejuvenation course, then to Level 5. Our training pathway page sets out the order.

How do I apply?

Create an account, confirm your email address, choose your course and start date and send your application. We review every application ourselves and email you our decision.

Do I pay when I apply?

No. Nothing is payable until we approve your application. Then you pay in full and your invoice and receipt are kept in your account.

How can I pay?

By card or bank transfer. Klarna is also offered at checkout where you are eligible, so you can spread the cost.

Can I book Level 3 and Level 4 together?

Yes. The Level 3 & Level 4 Bundle is £2,500, a saving of £300 on booking the two courses separately. It is one application and one payment.

What does hybrid mean?

You attend practical sessions in person at our Birmingham training centre and study the theory online in your own time. Both parts are required to achieve the qualification.

Where is the training centre?

40 George Road, Birmingham, B15 1PL.

Do I need qualifications before I start?

Not for the VTCT Level 3 Certificate in Access to Aesthetic Practice, which is designed for people new to beauty. Our other courses build on earlier qualifications, listed on each course page. We check them when we review your application.

What happens if a start date is full?

Your application goes on the waiting list for that date and we will be in touch if a place opens.

Can I cancel?

You can cancel within 14 days of the day we approve your application without giving a reason. After that, refunds depend on how close your start date is. The details are in our terms and conditions.

Who awards the qualifications?

VTCT (ITEC), the awarding body for our Level 3 and Level 4 qualifications. VTCT issues your certificate when you achieve the qualification.
