Qualification launched to prevent underage treatment and product sales
A new qualification has been created to help aesthetic clinics and salons avoid treating underage clients.
Stockport-based social enterprise Under Age Sales has launched the BTEC Level 2 Award in Preventing Under Age Body Modification. Under Age Sales, which usually advises retailers of age-restricted products, created the course for staff working in aesthetic clinics as well as tanning shops, beauty salons and tattoo parlours in in England and Wales. It is also aimed at those who offer chiropody, teeth whitening, reflexology, massage, waxing and laser treatments.
The qualification is awarded by EdExcel. It will cover current legislation on the sale of age-restricted goods and services, as well as how to prevent unlawful sales. The course will be available via distance learning, classroom, in store and e-learning and will result in a Unit Credit issued under QCF Level 2.
