Your progression

Online core → practical upgrade → optional VTCT

Every VTCT/ITEC applicant starts with an AuraLuxe initial assessment. We review your existing qualifications, experience, goal, prior learning and assessment requirements before we confirm the correct regulated route.

  1. Step 1

    Initial assessment

    Tell us what you want to achieve, what qualifications and experience you already hold, and provide the evidence we need to review your route.

  2. Step 2

    Route approval & payment plan

    AuraLuxe confirms your qualification, RPL position, assessment plan, total fee and deposit/payment schedule in writing. If the route is suitable, we send your secure payment link.

  3. Step 3

    Formal enrolment & registration

    After the required payment is verified, we complete the enrolment steps, arrange awarding-body registration when due and release the correct learning and assessment journey.

A submitted initial assessment is not an enrolment. Formal registration only follows an approved route, accepted terms and verified payment.

If you already hold relevant qualifications or have completed eligible AuraLuxe learning, we review that evidence for recognition of prior learning (RPL). You do not automatically repeat learning that can properly be mapped to the qualification.

There is no charge to submit the initial assessment. After review, AuraLuxe confirms the exact qualification route, total fee, deposit/payment schedule, registration requirements and assessment plan in writing. A secure payment link is issued only after the route is approved.

Before you enrol

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.

Published durations do not include multiple-choice papers, practical assessments, additional assessment visits, IQA activity or EQA sampling/visits unless the individual qualification states otherwise. Your individual assessment schedule is confirmed after enrolment and/or initial assessment as applicable.

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.
