Course Details

The VTCT Advanced Beauty Therapy Level 4 is a vocationally related qualification that is focused on advanced beauty practices for reducing hair growth using intense light and laser treatments, and skin rejuvenation using intense light and microdermabrasion.

You will also develop an understanding of product chemistry, the physiology of ageing and the principles of dermatology and microbiology.

Train to be an outstanding therapist

In addition to providing world-class treatments, the best beauty therapists showcase high levels of professionalism, personal presentation, client care and communication.

Throughout this course, you’ll grow into a well-rounded, employable therapist. Part of that involves partaking in regular sessions in Hugh Baird College’s busy commercial salons. These salons are open to the public and mirror real-life settings. You’ll be responsible for everything from booking clients to preparing beds, managing your time and providing the best possible experience.
