VTCT Accreditation
VTCT qualifications are concerned with quality Internationally. Therapists qualify for the lowest cost, widest cover employment liability insurance. This is because over the years they have shown they are the safest.
VTCT International qualifications are now available everywhere. They have been brought into line, so that the same qualifications are offered around the World. It has taken years to achieve this, but as the World gets smaller it is an important factor for success.
VTCT is the largest provider of qualifications in massage, aromatherapy and reflexology. This sector is growing very rapidly and new qualifications for skills like Reiki and Crystal Therapy are added to meet practitioners demands.
VTCT qualifications meet the highest quality standards and are offered throughout the country. Mostly VTCT Centres are Colleges on Further Education and the better independent schools. As a charity, VTCT charges low fees and the qualifications are those meeting the needs of the workplace. VTCT do not give single school ‘mickey mouse’ certificates just for profit. To get on the pathway to success you need quality qualifications proving you can give effective and safe treatments.
