CIBTAC
The Confederation of International Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology (CIBTAC)
has been producing beauty, complementary & spa therapy graduates of the highest calibre since 1977. We offer a wide range of world-class qualifications,
including beauty therapy, spa, complementary and teaching, striving to maintain
and develop the highest standards of excellence internationally.
Established in 1977, CIBTAC was created from an identified need to provide relevant, high-
quality training within the beauty, complementary & spa industry. We were founded, and
continue to be run, by passionate industry professionals.
We are zealous advocators for issues affecting those working within the industry. We
challenge poor practice, endeavour to educate the public on the importance of choosing a
highly qualified therapist, and aim to inspire new generations to enter this rapidly growing
international industry.

About Our Qualifications
All regulated qualifications carry an element of assessment. CIBTAC’s approach to
examining our learners is to make these assessments as close to the challenging situations
that an employee might face in their search for work so that our graduates are salon ready
and able to succeed, and are attractive to employers.
Although we understand that exams can be stressful, once a candidate can showcase their
practical skills in front of a visiting examiner, they will always be able to rely on this
achievement to help in real life trade-test situations, that is the norm, when being
interviewed for a job in the beauty and spa sector. Having passed a CIBTAC exam,
employers know that our graduates have measured up against requirements in personal
presentation, and to communicate professionally with the examiner during the assessment,
which are vital skills and attributes for success in the demanding beauty and spa industry
