Description

The CIBTAC Level 4 Award in Core Knowledge for Aesthetic Practice is a knowledge-based
qualification. It is aimed at equipping the Learner with the knowledge that underpins safe and effective, non-surgical, clinical aesthetic practice within beauty salons, skin clinics and medispa. It is suitable for
Learners wanting to enter the sector and for existing practitioners who may wish to take this
qualification to ensure they have higher-level learning in line with government recommendations.
The unit has been identified by employers, professional bodies, government bodies and insurers, as
recommended for working as a clinical aesthetic practitioner, however, there are some CPD courses
that can enhance the knowledge learnt to ensure that the qualified practitioner remains current and at
the forefront of the industry.
