Level 3 Qualified Skin Specialist

This is course will give you EVERYTHING you need to become a VTCT Level 3 Qualified Skin Specialist.

Why do you need THIS course?

Previously the beauty industry had very lax regulation and you could start your business with just CPD accreditation. However, insurance companies, professional skin care brands and professional equipment providers are now looking for qualifications like VTCT as these are a set standard that require assignments and exams at a very minimum of Level 2 and in most cases Level 3.

This means a combination of both VTCT and CPD means your business will meet industry standards

What is the difference between CPD and VTCT?

Qualifications are listed on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which is the national framework of UK qualifications, and the certificate of achievement is issued by an Awarding Organisation. Your certificate means you are ‘qualified’ in that subject

CPD is a piece of training developed by an individual or organisation that sits outside the regulated qualifications framework. It confers a skill not a qualification. A combination of both VTCT and CPD will increase your revenue.

You will gain the following;

  • Level 3 Access to Aesthetic Therapies- This has Level 2 Facial Therapy within it making the course suitable for complete beginners. Full content list is below.
  • Advanced Skin Care Diploma
  • Microdermabrasion
  • LED Light Therapy
  • Chemical Peels – covering – hyperpigmentation peels for all skin tones including darker skin types, anti-ageing peels for fine lines and wrinkles and acne peels
  • Microneedling
  • Nano Needling (full course content can be found here)

If you prefer one treatment at a time then we offer this too. You can find all our courses here

Business and Social Media Masterclass

  • Setting up your socials and business planning
  • Social media marketing strategies to grow your business
  • Creating and editing content
  • Being regulation ready

We also offer the Level 4 Qualified Skin Specialist Course which is qualification based.

Quality of training is important but so is what comes after- we support you in every aspect because we want to see you build your business.

This was my first visit to ElixSkin, and I had the Red Carpet Facial done by Izabela. She was fantastic! My skin felt amazing throughout my holiday — so refreshed and glowing. I’ll definitely be coming back for more treatments.

I highly recommend learning with Saarah. She was amazing, so helpful and always available to answer questions or provide direction. The practical sessions were such fun! Both days were packed with valuable learning and ideas that I can take back and apply with my own clients. Saarah gives honest, constructive feedback, which is exactly what you need if you want to grow, succeed, and be the best in your work.

Outstanding experience! I did my level 3 and 4 needling and peels with Saarah and I feel super confident and knowledgeable now. She went above and beyond to add in additional information and provided printed resources to take away with me. A lovely environment to learn in with plenty of of hands on practice too. Very happy ☺️

Me and my mum recently visited Elixir Skin for the Red Carpet facial treatment—and we were both blown away by the results and the service! From the moment we walked in, the team made us feel completely welcome and at ease. The clinic is calming, and beautifully presented. Both our skins looked and felt much more radiant and hydrated, we both left feeling refreshed! The care, professionalism, and attention to detail from the Elixir Skin team were second to none. Highly recommended to anyone looking for real results and a team who genuinely cares about their customers, only doing what’s best for them. Can’t wait to visit again!

Such a game-changer! The laser session was quick, almost painless, and the results are already visible. Her technique is spot-on, and the place feels like a mini spa — clean, calming, and super professional.
