VTCT Level 2 & 3 Conversion · For Existing Professionals
You’re already a skincare professional. But without a regulated Level 2 & 3, the best brands, the strongest insurance and Level 4 study all stay out of reach. This pathway converts your experience into the Ofqual-regulated credential that opens those doors, without making you repeat what you already know.
Ofqual regulated · VTCT Skills (ITEC) · Medic-led delivery · All MSTA academies
The industry is full of brilliant therapists and aestheticians who trained through short courses, built real client bases, and then hit the same wall: a premium brand, an insurer or a Level 4 course asks for a regulated Level 3, and years of genuine experience suddenly don’t count on paper.
Access to Brands is our answer. It delivers the VTCT Skills (ITEC) Level 3 Certificate in Access to Aesthetic Therapies (Level 2 and Level 3 units combined in one regulated qualification) as a focused conversion route for working professionals: efficient, respectful of your experience, and delivered by the same medic-led team behind all of our pathways.
Many of the most exclusive skincare and device brands require a regulated Level 3 or higher before they'll stock you. This pathway is the key to those doors.
A regulated, government-recognised qualification that strengthens your insurance position and future-proofs your business as the industry tightens.
Direct entry to regulated Level 4 awards: skin needling, skin peeling, dermaplaning and beyond, all delivered at MSTA.
Show clients you're trained to a standard recognised by a respected Ofqual-regulated awarding body, not just a wall of short-course certificates.
Where it leads
For many professionals, Access to Brands is step one. With the regulated Level 3 in hand, MSTA’s Level 4 to 6 route opens up: skin needling, skin peeling, dermaplaning and advanced specialisms, all inside The Ultimate Skincare Professional.

Regulated Level 4 study and beyond: advanced treatments, clinical depth and the route to genuine specialism.
