What is VTEC?
VTEC (Vocational Training & Education College) is the private training and course-accreditation framework developed and operated by The Bodywork & Tantra Academy.
Our VTEC framework is designed to support structured, assessed professional training across our online courses.
Important Information
VTEC is a private training and certification framework and is separate from QQI.
This course is not a QQI qualification and does not carry an award on Ireland's National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ).
We clearly distinguish our VTEC certification from QQI qualifications so you can choose the training route that is right for you.
Looking for flexible online training with lifetime access and a certificate of completion? You can study at your own pace and complete your training from home.
Important Information About This Training
Online Theory & Practical Training Are Different
This course provides online theoretical education and knowledge relating to the selected treatment or subject.
Online study is an important part of learning, but the completion of an online course does not, by itself, demonstrate practical competence or qualify a learner to perform treatments or services professionally.
Where this course requires a practical demonstration, evidence is uploaded online for assessment. No classroom attendance is required. Independent practice remains important because online evidence cannot replace all supervised hands-on experience.
Certificate of Completion
On successful completion of the online course requirements and final assessment, learners may receive a Certificate of Completion confirming that they have completed the online educational programme.
This certificate confirms completion of our training programme. It is not, unless expressly stated otherwise, a government qualification, regulated professional qualification, QQI award, accredited qualification, or licence to practise.
We do not guarantee that completion of this course will satisfy the requirements of any particular employer, insurer, local authority, professional body, accreditation organisation or other third party.
Before offering treatments or services professionally, learners are responsible for checking the training, practical assessment, insurance, registration, licensing, health and safety and other requirements that apply in their location. Requirements can vary between countries, regions, insurers and treatment types.
Practical Competence & Client Safety
Learners should not perform treatments or services on members of the public until they have developed the appropriate practical training and competence required for the subject and their circumstances.
Treatments involving the eyes, skin, physical contact or chemical products may carry inherent risks. Learners must follow appropriate hygiene procedures, manufacturer instructions, contraindications, patch-testing requirements where relevant, and professional safety procedures.
This training is educational only and is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
Responsibility of the Learner
The learner is responsible for ensuring that they have the appropriate knowledge, practical skills, equipment, insurance and permissions required before providing any treatment or service professionally.
Where this course requires practical assessment, learners submit the stated practical evidence online. Learners remain responsible for any additional hands-on training required by an employer, insurer or local rules.
By purchasing this course, you acknowledge and understand these limitations.
