The benefits of VTCT Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Beauty Therapy General accreditation
Above all – because it will act as your gateway to employment and exposes you to real life clients and actual work situations – enabling you to gain vital, hands-on experience.
The alternative Level 2 Diploma in beauty therapy (VTCT Level 2 Diploma in Beauty Specialist Techniques) is also a means to securing a job at a junior level. BUT it doesn’t involve working in a beauty salon and is focussed on acquiring knowledge and skills in a college environment – without exposure to fee paying clients.
The Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Beauty Therapy General will provide you with the opportunity to gain experience in a professional working salon, where you will be working with paying customers. Which, to our mind, is the most effective way to launch your career in beauty therapy! Furthermore, this particular qualification can only be gained by attending a learning academy, such as the Aesthetic & Beauty Training College, that offers access to a “real” salon.
