The main aim of the ITEC Level 2 Diploma for Beauty Specialists is to enable candidates to provide treatments for the purposes of relaxation, and improving the condition of the skin and nails.
Students will study the theory of all treatments as well as the anatomy of the skin, hair and nails. Contraindications and recognition of skin diseases and disorders are also a vital part of their training as well as the underpinning knowledge and skills required to successfully perform the treatments: Skincare and Eye Treatments, Manicure / Pedicure, Make-up, and Waxing.
The Diploma also aims:
- to provide skills at Level 2 in the National Qualification Framework for those interested in the Beauty Therapy industry
- to provide opportunities for staff in the Beauty Therapy industry to gain a Level 2 qualification
- to qualify candidates as Beauty Specialists at Level 2 in the Beauty Therapy industry
- to sustain the interest of candidates wanting to work in the Beauty Therapy industry
- to encourage knowledge and understanding for the Beauty Therapy industry at Level 2
- to provide opportunities for candidates to focus on the development of the major Key skills and the wider Key skills in a Beauty Therapy context such as communicating with clients, working with others and problem solving
- to provide opportunities for candidates to develop a range of skills and techniques, personal qualities and attitudes essential for successful performance in employment as a Beauty Specialist.
Case studies are also required to be completed for this award. The case studies form the internal assessment and should be assessed throughout the training by the tutor using the ITEC Case Study Assessment sheet. The case studies are then verified by an ITEC Examiner at the end of the course during the visit for invigilating the practical examination. The case studies ensure that a variety of clients must be consulted and treated in all the above areas and the outcomes of the treatments must be documented in order to gain experience of working with a variety of clients and conditions whilst candidates are still under supervision. Detailed rationales for the choice of treatment and outcomes must be shown, as well as after care and product advice.
