Level 3
Beauty Therapy Massage

The Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Beauty Therapy Massage is a hands-on qualification for learners aged 16+, designed to prepare you for work as a beauty massage therapist. Taught in real salon settings, it covers core treatments like body massage, Indian head massage, stone therapy, and massage with pre-blended oils. This course can be taken as part of an apprenticeship or through private training providers, depending on local licensing and availability.

You’ll also study essential topics such as anatomy, health and safety, and client care, while developing your practical and communication skills. Optional units allow you to broaden your expertise with treatments like airbrush make-up, UV tanning, and electrical therapies. Entry is usually based on a Level 2 beauty qualification or a successful skills test and interview.
