VTCT (iTEC) Level 5 Award in Skin Peeling Treatments

Who should take this course?

The Level 5 Award in Skin Peeling Treatments is an advanced qualification designed for practitioners aged 18 and over who already hold a Level 4 Skin Peel qualification and wish to expand their advanced skin treatment portfolio. This course is ideal for experienced aesthetic practitioners looking to upskill efficiently and offer higher-level skin rejuvenation treatments within a regulated framework.

For learners who do not yet hold a Level 4 Skin Peel qualification, this can be completed separately to provide a clear progression route into Level 5 advanced skin peeling treatments.

This qualification is particularly suited to professionals with busy schedules, as the course is structured to allow rapid completion while maintaining high educational and practical standards. The training also aligns with forthcoming regulatory expectations within the aesthetics industry.

Overview of the Qualification

The VTCT (iTEC) Level 5 Award in Skin Peeling Treatments is a specialist qualification focused on advanced skin peeling techniques. It equips practitioners with the theoretical knowledge and practical competence required to safely and effectively carry out professional skin peeling treatments in a clinical or salon environment.

Learners will gain hands-on experience in real or simulated working environments, without the requirement for fee-paying clients. This award provides an excellent progression route for Level 4 qualified practitioners seeking to broaden their treatment offerings and enhance client outcomes.

The course is delivered through flexible learning, typically one day per week, with a combination of in-person practical training and guided study.

Qualification Content

Aimed at learners aged 18 and over, this qualification builds on existing aesthetic knowledge and advanced skin therapy skills. Training and assessment take place in real or realistic working environments and are informed by national occupational standards and employer needs.

Mandatory learning areas include:

Principles and practices of advanced non-medical aesthetic therapies
Advanced consultation and client assessment
Skin analysis and treatment planning for skin peeling procedures
Safe application of professional skin peeling treatments
Anatomy, physiology, and health & safety relevant to Level 5 skin treatments

Throughout the course, learners will develop advanced consultation skills, refine treatment techniques, and strengthen professional communication and customer care — all essential attributes for working at Level 5 within the aesthetics sector.
