Certificate IV in Beauty Therapy (RPL)
This qualification reflects the role of skilled beauty therapists who provide a wide range of beauty services to clients, including advanced facial treatments, body treatments, and hair removal. The Certificate IV in Beauty Therapy is ideal for individuals who have significant experience in the beauty industry and wish to formalize their skills through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
Throughout the qualification, professionals apply their expertise in advanced beauty techniques, including facial and body treatments, microdermabrasion, and IPL hair removal, along with their customer service skills. They also develop an understanding of health and safety protocols, equipment maintenance, and business operations, allowing them to perform tasks autonomously and take responsibility for delivering high-quality beauty services.
Beauty therapists with this qualification work across a variety of settings, including beauty salons, spas, and clinics, and often take on leadership or supervisory roles.
This qualification does not require you to undertake formal study but allows you to gain recognition for the skills and knowledge you have developed over time through RPL. If you already possess the necessary experience and competencies, you can apply for RPL to obtain your Certificate IV in Beauty Therapy without the need to attend classes.
Occupational Titles May Include:
- Beauty Therapist
- Beauty Salon Manager
- Senior Beauty Therapist
