Course Description
The Level 3 Certificate in Entry to Aesthetic Therapies is a foundation qualification designed for individuals aspiring to begin their journey in the rapidly growing aesthetics industry. This programme provides learners with essential knowledge of the skin, health and safety, and the professional standards required to work in aesthetic practice. It also offers a progression pathway towards more advanced aesthetic qualifications such as skin rejuvenation, laser and light therapies, and injectable treatments.
Importantly, it also provides a regulated pathway for learners who have previously studied in an accredited setting, ensuring their prior learning can be built upon in a structured and recognised way.
Through a blend of theory and practical learning, you will develop an understanding of human anatomy and physiology relevant to aesthetics, along with the ability to assess different skin types and conditions. You will also gain skills in client consultation and care, while learning the importance of health, safety, hygiene, and professional practice in both clinical and salon environments.
This qualification provides a recognised entry-level credential to begin training in advanced aesthetic treatments. It equips you with a strong foundation in professional standards and client safety, while giving you the knowledge required to progress to specialist Level 4 and higher aesthetic qualifications.
Students will be guided through practical elements before completing at home case studies and workbook completion, culminating in assessment sessions to demonstrate learning.
This qualification offers a worldwide recognised qualification which can be applied to many industries and work based settings.
We offer this qualification through Focus Awards, an OfQual Regulated Awarding Body. This is a nationally recognised qualification.
