Level 3 Certificate in Beauty Therapy Studies (Massage)

To study at Level 3, you will need an average entry score of 5.0 from your best 6 GCSE subjects, ideally including English and Maths.

This study programme is designed to help you move quickly toward advanced jobs, higher education, or apprenticeship opportunities if you know what you want to do next and meet the entry requirements needed for success.

Achieving a Level 3 qualification will improve your future earning potential and career choices. It also allows you to progress to Higher Education, Higher Apprenticeships, and Degree Apprenticeships. These can lead to roles like advanced technician or skilled supervisor at Level 3, and eventually to management or professional status as you continue your studies.

You will learn through practical lessons in our state-of-the-art salon. Assessments will be through completing a portfolio of work, practical observations, online tests and an extended project.

Once you finish this course, you’ll be ready for an exciting massage career. From working in salons and spas across the country, to starting your own massage business, the opportunites are truly endless.

You can also go onto further study in this area, such as a Level 4 qualification, where you will further enhance your skills.

There are no fees for this course if you are under 18.

For more information about fees and funding, please contact us.

Throughout the year, you will take part in regular industry relevant trips, allowing you to see the inner workings of the beauty industry firsthand. Previous trips have included Salon International and guest speakers from L’Oreal.

You will also be encouraged to take part in local and national skills competitions. These competitions put your skill to the test whist helping you feel more confident working outside of the classroom.
