If so, you have a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on your clients' health and wellbeing. The VTCT Level 2 Award in Skin Cancer Awareness for Non-Healthcare Professionals is designed specifically for you. This essential qualification will equip you with the skills to recognise the signs and symptoms of skin cancer, enabling you to alert clients to changes in their skin and direct them to public information and their GP for further investigation.

Why This Course Matters

Professionals in the hair, beauty, and wellbeing industries often work closely with clients and see areas of skin that may not be easily visible to the clients themselves.

Early diagnosis can significantly increase the chances of a positive outcome.
