Testimonials

I feel so lucky of finding RC to study my beauty. They really have high standards and are very professional in this. I can't imagine if I chose the 5 days training somewhere at Essex, there are a lot of knowledge and skills to learn, 18 weeks study length works perfect for me. Teachers are professional and knowledgeable, very patient and generously giving, Highly recommend !!!

_Man Zhang, China

I really enjoyed my level 2 with Catherine. Because I don't have a lot of close people in this country, it was quite difficult to find models for assessments. Luckily, Catherine was really helpful with that. She's so helpful with everything. So I came back for my level 3 with her as well. I'm really happy about this college, teacher and all the program

  • 2 Is VTCT equivalent to NVQ?

    **NVQ** – NVQ stands for National Vocational Qualifications. This is the general name given to the courses in the UK. It is important to understand this is not just a certificate for knowledge but also for your skills. **VTCT** – Vocational Training Charitable Trust – this is the assessment organisation that will ultimately award the certificate for your diploma in beauty therapy. Our NVQ courses are awarded by VTCT. This is why you may see the two acronyms used at the same time.
