ITEC Professional Level Courses
IITEC qualifications are internationally recognised, allowing you to work with confidence and skill in a professional environment. These internationally recognised qualifications are aimed at beginners wishing to train as professional complementary therapists, or existing therapists wishing to extend their practice skills or formalise their existing knowledge through accreditation. Courses may be studied separately or together as part of an intensive course of study, taking beginners to practitioner level in just one year.
Requirements
Enrolment on professional level 3 courses requires discussion or interview with the coordinator prior to enrolment. Learners wishing to undertake ITEC qualifications should have at least 5 GCSEs (A-C) or equivalent Level 2 qualifications. Those learners without evidence of a relevant level 2 qualification are invited to attend an informal interview and demonstrate literacy skills at level 2 through completion of a national literacy test. Mature learners are welcome. All ITEC courses are Level 3, which means you may be a beginner to the subject but are working to ‘A’ level standard (equivalent to NVQ3, Advanced GNVQ, BTEC).
Additional Information
Classes are open to both male and female applicants. In order to gain professional perspective learners are expected to actively participate in all practical sessions.
To gain accreditation, mandatory completion of a large number of assignments and extensive practical case studies are required on ITEC courses. Case studies are completed outside of class time. Learners will need to allow time outside of class for further study eg theory, preparing for examinations and developing practical skills.
Learners will incur additional costs on these courses for:
- Essential Oils, Vegetable Oils and bases for personal use & outside of class
- Examination fees (both registration and assessment fees)
- Professional clothing and shoes
- Learner Insurance (optional)
- Towels & pillows
- Books, stationary & pens
- Recommended books or charts
- Couch and couch covers
