Overview
The VTCT L2 Award in Skin Cancer Awareness for non-Health Professionals has been design ed to enable beauty professionals to recognise the signs and symptoms of skin cancer enabling you to alert clients to changes in their skin and sign-post them to public information and their GP.
Course Content - What will I learn?
the unit will cover:
– Know the signs and symptoms of skin cancer,
– Know the possible causes of skin cancer and how it may be prevented,
– Know your role as a non-healthcare professional in raising awareness of skin cancer and alerting clients to changes on
their skin
Am I right for the course?
Thsi is a standalone course, however, if you are studying a Beauty, Complementary Therapy or Media Make Up course then this course is an ideal addition to your portfolio of qualifications as it shows potential employers that you are aware of how to protect yourself and prevent contact dermatitis.
No prior qualifications required.
You will be assessed internally by your tutor through professional discussions and/or oral questions.
A variety of qualified and experienced professionals will be involved in the delivery of this programme as it is offered to all students within the department, each bringing specialist knowledge and experience to this qualification.
What Next?
Your next move could be to study further full time VRQ qualifications within the Beauty, Complementary Therapy and Media Make Up department and/or enhance your learning by taking part in the Continuous Professional Development Courses, 1 Day Workshops or Part-time Courses that we have on offer.
