What is the difference between ABT and VTCT?

With a vast array of qualifications and options available to you, choosing the right course for yourself can be very confusing. Here is a little insight into the difference between short courses and NVQs.

Most day/short training courses will be accredited by an awarding body such as Professional Beauty, ABT, BABTAC or The Beauty Guild. This means that the training school has been approved based on their course manuals, training qualifications and liability insurance. These will allow you to learn the skills needed to carry out these treatments. These are suitable for anyone wishing to work for themselves at home or as a mobile therapist. There are a few salons that will employ without NVQs but this can be restrictive.

We would strongly recommend that you check with the awarding bodies that the school is still approved. We have to renew it each year!

NVQ/VRQ 

Most Salons specify that a Beauty therapist needs an NVQ at level 2* (min) to work within a salon environment. NVQ/VRQ qualifications are both nationally and internationally recognised certificates. Both types of qualification are fully recognised for insurance and employment within the Beauty industry.

Both are work related and focus on the practical and employment skills needed for the beauty industry.

VTCT or City & Guilds

Both governing bodies are of equal value in the workplace, however we use VTCT because:

  • They are a major awarding body in the UK, the market leader and provider of specialist qualifications in beauty therapy, massage and holistic therapy and nail services.
  • Specialist in this field since 1962

 

If you complete any of our NVQ courses you will be able to gain valuable work experience in this fast moving industry.

This will give you the skills and knowledge to gain a successful career in the beauty industry. All of our teachers remain active therapists in the subjects they deliver and we are sure we can offer you first class training.

Home Study Course

This is ideal for students who work full time and cannot attend the training centre every week.

With our home study course as soon as payment has been made you will receive an email with all the manuals, revision notes and assignments.

Once you have read through the manuals and revision sheets please contact us to get booked in for 2 days practical.

On these 2 practical days you will complete 3 theory exams and 6 models.

You will need to then practice and complete your assignments before attending an assessment day in front of the IQA. On this day you will have 3 models to complete.

Your certificate will be logged with VTCT which normally takes up to 12 weeks to be posted out to you.

All about the practical day

You will need to attend for 2 days practical.

Day 1 you will be shown the facial routine by the tutor.  You will then need to complete 3 practicals which includes different skin types etc.  We will arrange the models for you and you will also be a model for another student depending on skin types needed.

 

Day 2 you will complete 3 more case studies in front of the tutor and sit your theory exams.

Light lunch and refreshments are provided so you do not need to bring anything with you on your practical days.

Once the practical and assignments have been completed you will be given a date for your practical exam.
