Level 3 Certificate in Aesthetic Therapies

Course Content

• ✓  Anatomy & Physiology — Develop an understanding of the structure and function of the human body, with particular focus on the areas relevant to aesthetic and beauty treatments. You will explore the structure of the skin and its underlying tissues and develop an understanding of how the body’s systems relate to professional treatment practice.
• ✓  Skin Anatomy & Skin Health — Learn how the skin is structured, how it functions and how different skin types and conditions can influence treatment decisions. You will develop an understanding of factors that can affect skin health and why appropriate assessment is an important part of professional treatment planning.
• ✓  Consultation & Client Care — Learn how to gather relevant client information, discuss their concerns, establish realistic expectations and identify factors that may affect treatment suitability. The course also covers professional communication and maintaining appropriate client records.
• ✓  Skin Analysis & Treatment Planning — Develop the ability to assess the client’s skin and identify relevant concerns before recommending a treatment approach. You will learn why treatments should be selected according to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
• ✓  Health, Safety & Hygiene — Understand the professional responsibilities involved in carrying out treatments safely, including hygiene, infection prevention, safe working practices, treatment preparation and maintaining an appropriate professional environment.
• ✓  Contraindications & Treatment Safety — Learn how to recognise circumstances where a treatment may be unsuitable or require additional consideration. You will develop your understanding of contraindications, precautions and the importance of making appropriate decisions before treatment begins.
• ✓  Professional Practice — The course introduces the wider responsibilities involved in working professionally within the aesthetics industry, including client communication, treatment records, consent and aftercare.
• ✓  Practical Learning — Where practical training forms part of your programme, you will have the opportunity to apply your underpinning knowledge in a supervised training environment. The focus is on developing safe and professional working habits, understanding treatment processes and building confidence in client assessment and care.
