| What is the difference between the ITEC,
VTCT courses and the BABTAC and Guild courses? |
The fast track courses accredited by the
Guilds of Professional Beauty and BABTAC compared to the
ITEC and VTCT NVQ’s courses:
ITEC and VTCT courses are NVQ’s (National Vocational
Qualification)
NVQ courses are the highest qualifications that are available
within the Beauty Industry. NVQs are international qualifications
and are accepted by employers in Salons, Spas, and Cruise
ships all over the world.
The Fast track courses are Nationally Recognised and insurable
however depending on the sort of jobs you want to develop
into some employers may prefer to see NVQ’s than
the fast track courses.
The table below gives a summary of the different levels of qualifications |
Internationally Recognised Courses
(Higher Level)
|
Highest level of qualification recognised across the world. Gives students the chance to develop into complex areas of beauty work anywhere. |
Nationally Recognised Courses
