Course Overview

The VTCT Skills Level 3 Award in Anatomical and Physiological Knowledge of Body Systems is a nationally recognised qualification designed to provide learners with an understanding of the structure and function of the human body.

Anatomy and physiology form the foundation of professional beauty, massage and complementary therapy training. Understanding how the body's systems work, both individually and together, is essential when developing professional knowledge and progressing into further qualifications.

At Dermatherapy School of Beauty, we offer this qualification through our online learning platform, Moodle, allowing learners to study flexibly around their existing work and personal commitments.

Our structured lessons, visual learning materials and revision activities help learners develop the knowledge required for their VTCT assessments.
