All courses are ABT accredited, with optional VTCT/ITEC accreditation available on request — except Hybrid Brows and Brow Lamination, which are ABT accredited only.

VTCT/ITEC routes include separate theory, evidence and assessment days that are arranged alongside the practical dates — practical attendance alone does not complete a VTCT qualification.

Not seeing a date that suits? Join the Interest List or ask about 1:1 delivery — Tuesdays are kept for mentoring, one-to-one training, assessments and demand-led intakes, and new dates are added to this calendar as they are confirmed.

How confirmation works: the calendar shows confirmed teaching days and their live availability. Where a date is fully booked you can join the Interest List — demand capture only, not a booking — and we confirm the next intake, the full price and exactly what is included in writing. Your place is secured once your booking payment is received.

Professional qualifications

VTCT & ITEC pathways

Pathways are how we group things commercially — each certificate below remains a separate regulated qualification with its own registration, assessment and certification.

Complete Nail Technician

The regulated nail route, from Level 2 treatments and technology through to Level 3, with e-file delivered as an additional skill where it sits outside the qualification.

  • VTCT Level 2 Certificate in Nail Technology

    Level 2 · AB20117

    Nail-technology route. Final unit mapping shows manicure, pedicure, gel polish and extensions as applicable.

    E-file may be delivered as an additional AuraLuxe/ABT skill where it is not contained in the qualification.

    RPL only from recognised prior qualifications and mapped evidence.

  • VTCT Level 2 Certificate in Nail Treatments

    Level 2 · AB20114

    Nail treatments — used alongside the Level 2 nail route where appropriate.

    E-file optional add-on.

    RPL only from recognised prior qualifications.

  • Level 3 Nail Technology qualification

    Level 3 · Title & code in confirmation

    Intended to cover manicure, pedicure, gel polish, extensions and e-file where the unit set permits.

    E-file may remain an additional skills certificate if it is not part of the regulated unit set.

    Individual RPL mapping required.

Lash, Brow & Hair Removal

Three separate qualifications covering lash and brow treatments, lash lifting and wax depilation, with Brow Lamination available as an ABT certificate alongside.

  • VTCT Level 2 Award in Eyelash and Eyebrow Treatments

    Level 2 · AB20263

    Eyelash and brow tinting plus brow waxing/shaping within the approved scope.

    Brow Lamination — separate ABT certificate.

    Recognised prior evidence may be mapped under VTCT RPL rules.

  • VTCT Lash Lifting qualification

    Level 2 or 3 · Title & code in confirmation

    Lash lifting.

    Requirements follow the current live specification.

  • VTCT Level 2 Award in Wax Depilation

    Level 2 · AB20123

    Facial waxing and full-body hair removal.

    Existing recognised waxing evidence may be considered through formal RPL mapping.

Facial, Skincare & Massage

Facial and massage qualifications with a route into Access to Aesthetic Therapies, where accepted RPL mapping avoids repeating facial practical.

  • VTCT Level 2 Award in Facial Massage and Skincare

    Level 2 · AB20122

    Facial massage and skincare.

    Can support RPL into Access to Aesthetic Therapies so facial practical is not duplicated where the specification permits.

    Mapped per learner against the current specification.

  • VTCT Level 3 Certificate in Swedish Massage

    Level 3 · AM30136

    Full-body Swedish massage.

    Portfolio, practical assessment and papers remain qualification-controlled.

  • VTCT Skills (ITEC) Level 3 Certificate in Access to Aesthetic Therapies

    Level 3 · BT3C10

    Electrical and additional theory modules plus the required papers. Prior facial learning may be RPL-mapped.

    Where RPL mapping is accepted, learners complete the outstanding electrical/theory modules and two papers rather than repeating facial practical.

    Each learner's RPL mapping and assessment requirements are verified individually.

Educator & Assessor

For therapists moving into teaching, assessing and training-centre roles. Two separate qualifications, taken together or on their own.

  • VTCT Level 3 Award in Education and Training

    Level 3 · ET3A1

    Teaching and training skills across any occupational area in which you are already qualified.

    Suited to prospective training-centre owners, workplace trainers and those seeking college/FET teaching roles, subject to employer requirements.

    Mapped per learner where recognised evidence exists.

  • VTCT Level 3 Award in Assessing Vocationally Related Achievement

    Level 3 · AG30201

    Assessment of vocationally related achievement.

    You need access to suitable assessment opportunities and evidence.

    Mapped per learner where recognised evidence exists.

Quality Assurance (IQA)

Standalone Level 4 internal quality assurance qualifications for assessors and centre teams. The Award and the Certificate are distinct.

  • VTCT Level 4 Award in the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice

    Level 4 · AG40220

    Internal quality assurance.

    Requires suitable IQA activity and evidence.

    Mapped per learner where recognised evidence exists.

  • VTCT Level 4 Certificate in Leading the Internal Quality Assurance of Assessment Processes and Practice

    Level 4 · AG40221

    Leading the IQA function.

    Requires suitable leading-IQA activity and evidence.

    Mapped per learner where recognised evidence exists.

Make-Up

The regulated Level 2 make-up route alongside the ABT Make-Up Artistry course.

  • VTCT Level 2 NVQ Award in Make-Up

    Level 2 · AB20330

    Level 2 make-up route.

    Assessment requirements follow the current specification.

Durations and assessment. Published durations do not include multiple-choice papers, practical assessments, additional assessment visits, IQA activity or EQA sampling/visits. Your individual assessment schedule is confirmed after enrolment, taking account of prior qualifications, relevant experience, available evidence and the requirements of the selected qualification.

Where a title or code is shown as in confirmation, the qualification is confirmed with you before registration. We don't advertise wider or international recognition on your behalf — check any requirement directly with the relevant awarding, regulatory or employing body.

Online learning & upgrades

Start online. Come in when you're ready.

Every online course can be upgraded to hands-on training, and what you've already paid is credited against it. These are the rules we work to.

All online courses are fully online

You buy and study the online route without an automatic academy day included.

Optional in-house mentoring

Every online course can add optional in-house mentoring, priced separately, without changing your original online enrolment.

Convert to 1:1

You can convert an online course to the private in-house route on mutually available dates, paying the balance between the in-house price and the online price.

Convert to a group date

You can join an available scheduled group route and pay the balance between the group price and the online price — subject to dates, capacity, prerequisites and model requirements.

Your online payment is protected

What you paid online is credited against your chosen upgrade. Upgrade balance = academy route price less the online price already paid.

Reduced duration needs a qualification

A shorter route requires a recognised prior qualification. Experience or confidence alone doesn't qualify for the shorter price, and certificates are checked before we quote.

Kits and supplies

Kits are not included in course prices. Academy-use supplies and consumables are supplied for your training.

VTCT is separate

VTCT registration, assessment and certification are separate from ABT or online enrolment. An ABT or online certificate is not automatically a VTCT qualification.

Pathways & packages

Train for a whole career, not one treatment

Where a pathway runs as a class of four, the per-learner price reflects the shared class rather than one-to-one time — the same nine days of training, at a price that works for someone starting out. Waxing practicals always lead with a group of two, because of studio capacity.

Good to know

Certificate titles, accreditation wording, durations, prices and eligibility are confirmed with you in writing before you enrol — we check your certificates first, because prior qualifications can shorten some routes. Kit and supplies costs are always quoted separately from the training fee.

ABT-accredited courses carry an AuraLuxe certificate with ABT accreditation and are intended to support insurance eligibility. Acceptance is always at your insurer's discretion — please confirm with your insurer and check the requirements of the country you work in before booking.
