About this course

Free Level 4 Advanced Beauty Therapy Course in Bristol. Classes run at Any Driver Bristol, part-time during the day over 18 weeks. This advanced beauty therapy qualification is funded by the Advanced Learner Loan, so there are no upfront costs. You'll need a beauty therapy qualification at Level 3 to join. The course covers the skills and knowledge needed to work as a senior beauty therapist, building on what you already know. Daytime classes make it possible to study alongside other commitments.

Who this course is for

The VTCT Skills Level 4 Diploma in Advanced Beauty Therapy is a vocationally related qualification that will prepare you to gain employment as an advanced senior beauty therapist, as the units contained in this qualification cover all the skills and knowledge required for this role.
