Beauty Therapy NVQ Level 3

About this course

Is this course right for me?

Are you passionate about the beauty industry? Whether you want to work on a cruise liner or dream of owning your own salon, our NVQ Level 3 builds on the knowledge and skills you have gained from the Level 2 course to give you a deeper insight into the industry. Our course will develop your therapist skills to include a range of facial and body treatments, alongside aspects of salon management, administration and health and safety, to enable you to meet the high expectations of the industry.

What will I be doing?

Alongside self-tanning and spa skills, you will learn how to carry out facial and body electrotherapy treatments, epilation, body massage and Indian head massage. You will also learn how to manage the reception desk, promote products and contribute to the financial effectiveness of a business.

Every January, we organise an Enrichment week full of workshops, talks and training activities. From sessions on Hot Stones and Thai Massage to visits from top skincare companies such as Clarins and Dermalogica, our Enrichment week is an excellent opportunity for students to top up their skills and explore a range of new topics. We even offer trips to places such as Aston and Finchers in Birmingham and the Beauty Show in London.

Entry requirements

You will have a reasonable standard of GCSEs in a range of subjects and an NVQ Level 2 in Beauty Therapy. As part of your interview process, you will be asked to prepare a research project that displays your knowledge of the sector and demonstrates your commitment to the course.

Assessment

You will create a portfolio of your work based on the skills you develop at Fountains and your tutor will mark this as you complete each task. Each unit is delivered individually, so you can work at your own pace and be assessed when you feel ready.

What next?

You have a choice of profession routes available, Diploma in Make-up Artisty, Hairdressing Level 2 & 3. If you are dedicated to further training, you may wish to consider our Foundation Degree in Management, Innovation and Practice for the Hair Beauty and Spa Sector.
