Progress Your Skills. Expand Your Services. Take Your Next Step.

If you’ve already developed your foundation skills in beauty therapy and you’re ready to progress, the Focus Awards Level 3 Diploma in Beauty Therapy (RQF) provides the opportunity to develop a broader range of Level 3 treatment skills.

Rather than repeating the foundation treatments you’ve already learned, this programme builds on your existing knowledge and introduces additional treatments that can help you expand your professional treatment menu.

At Trans4m, your programme combines flexible online learning with practical, hands-on training at our Portway Farm Barns training studio near Tamworth.

You’ll develop your skills through demonstrations, supervised practice and working with clients/models, with ongoing tutor support as you progress towards your qualification.

What You’ll Learn

Your Trans4m Level 3 Beauty Therapy programme includes:

Body Massage

Develop your ability to plan and perform professional body massage treatments, adapting your approach to individual client needs.

Stone Therapy Massage

Build on your massage skills by learning how to incorporate heated stones safely and effectively into professional massage treatments.

Indian Head Massage

Develop techniques for delivering Indian head massage treatments, including appropriate consultation, preparation and aftercare.

Self-Tanning

Learn how to prepare for and provide professional self-tanning treatments and advise clients on appropriate preparation and aftercare.

Individual Permanent Lash Extensions

Develop the skills required to safely prepare for and apply individual lash extensions and provide appropriate client aftercare.

Health & Safety

Develop the knowledge and professional working practices required to monitor and maintain health and safety within the salon environment.

Promoting Products & Services

Learn how to identify opportunities to recommend appropriate treatments, services and retail products while maintaining professional client care.

How Your Training Works

This is a blended learning programme, allowing you to combine flexible online study with extensive practical development.

Online Theory

Your underpinning theory and assignment work is accessed through Microsoft Teams.

You’ll work through prerecorded teaching content, learning activities and assignments alongside your practical training.

You’ll also need to allow time each week for independent study, research, assignment completion and practical development.

Practical Training at the Barns

Learners typically attend our training centre two days per week.

Your centre days are predominantly practical and may include:

• Tutor demonstrations
• Supervised practical training
• Working with clients/models
• Formative assessment and feedback
• Summative practical assessments
• Progress reviews
• Portfolio development
• Assignment support
• Individual tutor guidance

This means your valuable time in the training studio is focused on developing your practical competence and confidence, while much of your underpinning theory can be completed flexibly online.

How Long Does the Programme Take?

The programme is designed around regular centre attendance alongside structured online and independent study.

Your individual completion time will depend upon your attendance, practical development and successful completion of the required assessments, assignments and portfolio evidence.

Beauty therapy is a practical profession, so our focus is on ensuring you can demonstrate the required level of competence rather than simply reaching the end of a set number of weeks.

Why Train With Trans4m?

Small, Supportive Groups

Our smaller training groups allow you to receive individual guidance, feedback and support from your tutor as your practical skills develop.

Practical Training That Matters

Centre time is focused predominantly on demonstrations, practical development, supervised treatment practice and assessment.

Flexible Blended Learning

Complete your underpinning theory and assignments online while attending the centre for the practical elements of your qualification.

Expand Your Treatment Menu

Add treatments including stone therapy, Indian head massage, self-tanning and individual lash extensions to your existing beauty therapy skills.

Build Professional Confidence

Our aim isn’t simply to help you complete your qualification. We want you to develop the confidence to use your skills professionally after your training.

A Different Kind of Training Environment

Train in our boutique training studio at Portway Farm Barns, Harlaston, near Tamworth, where our small-group approach creates a relaxed and supportive environment in which to develop your skills.

Assessment

Assessment takes place throughout your programme and may include:

• Practical observations
• Formative and summative assessments
• Assignments
• Written/theory evidence
• Professional discussion and questioning where appropriate
• Portfolio evidence
• Progress reviews

You’ll have opportunities to practise and develop your skills before completing your summative assessments.

Who Is This Qualification For?

This programme is designed as a progression route for learners who already have a foundation in Level 2 Beauty Therapy and want to develop their knowledge and technical skills at Level 3.

If you’re completely new to beauty and don’t already have the appropriate foundation skills, our Level 3 Diploma in Combined Beauty Therapy Skills may be the more appropriate route, as this incorporates the Level 2 foundation treatments alongside Level 3 skills.
