Hands-on practical training
CPD or VTCT Skills pathways
Discover the Best You approach to practical training, professional development and ongoing support.
One programme – three routes
Choose the pathway that fits your ambition
Start with CPD-accredited practical skills, add a regulated Level 3 qualification, or follow the complete VTCT Skills pathway from Level 3 to Level 5.
Option one
CPD Advanced Skincare Programme
Best for building practical treatment skills and beginning with CPD-accredited certification.
Option two
CPD Programme + Level 3 Access to Aesthetics
Best for gaining practical skincare skills alongside a regulated foundation qualification.
Option three
Complete VTCT Skills Pathway – Level 3 to Level 5
Best for students who want a structured route through a full range of Ofqual-regulated qualifications.
Important: the face-to-face intensive provides your initial practical training. VTCT Skills qualifications also require additional theory, coursework, case studies and assessments before certification. Progression from Level 3 to anti-wrinkle and dermal filler training remains subject to the entry requirements of the chosen course and insurer.
