Taitam-D as a VTCT Approved Centre

Taitam-D Management Ltd is a VTCT Approved Centre (No. 2547/001). Taitam-D Management Ltd holds this approval for the Taitam-D Academy London centre. Your course is sold to you by 1 Verad Group Ltd, the company that operates the Academy; the receipt and the terms you agree to are in that name. As an approved centre we can enter learners for the VTCT qualifications we prepare in our system, across massage and holistic therapies, beauty, nails and make-up, and the assessor and internal-quality-assurance route. Being an approved centre means we can register learners for these qualifications; it is separate from a course being open for enrolment. Some of these qualifications are still in preparation, and each course above shows its own status. The qualifications we are approved for are documented and can be verified at our head office.

Career paths

These career paths show how our courses fit together for different roles. They are a guide to planning your learning. Completing a course is not a guarantee of employment or of a licence to practise. Those depend on employers and on the rules that apply where you intend to work.

Completing a path does not by itself award a regulated qualification. Some courses are our own and are not regulated qualifications.

Want to know when a course opens?

You can ask us to email you once, when a particular course opens for enrolment. It is not a booking and it does not hold a place.

If you give us an email address, we use it only to send that one notification. We do not add it to a marketing list, and no marketing consent is attached to this request.

Working with our partners

The organisations we work alongside on this platform and its programmes

TAITAM-D MANAGEMENT LTD is a VTCT Approved Centre (centre no. 2547/001). Courses that lead to a VTCT qualification are delivered and assessed under that centre approval.

The other marks shown here identify organisations we work with, and the standards and frameworks our course design refers to. They do not mean that those organisations accredit, endorse or regulate Taitam-D Academy London or its courses.

Whether a course leads to a regulated qualification is stated on that course's own page. A course marked Non-Full Certificate carries our own course completion certificate: it is not a regulated qualification and it is not awarded by an external awarding body.
