The VTCT Level 4 Certificate in Ultrasound is a nationally recognised qualification for adding ultrasound treatments in laser skin clinics, medispas, or your own skin clinic. This is not HIFU.

Want radio frequency as well? Take the VTCT Level 4 Certificate in Radio Frequency on its own, or both certificates together on the combined radio frequency and ultrasound course. Want HIFU next? Our VTCT Level 4 Award in HIFU is a separate course in high intensity focused ultrasound.

Our RPL route recognises existing CPD in radio frequency and ultrasound together. You should hold CPD accreditation in both, have 2 years' experience, and be able to provide 10 case studies in each treatment area. Admissions review every request.

You gain the VTCT Skills Level 4 Certificate in Ultrasound (BT4C7, QAN 603/2911/7).

Radio frequency is a separate certificate: VTCT Level 4 Radio Frequency, or both together on the combined course.

You need to be 18 or over and hold a beauty-related Level 3 qualification or higher, our VTCT Level 3 Access to Aesthetics, or a medical qualification such as doctor, dentist, pharmacist or nurse.

Yes. Models are always supplied by the college, so you don't need to find your own for your practical training days. Classes are limited to six learners, so your tutor can guide you on every ultrasound treatment as you complete your case studies and build confidence before your final assessment.

The fee for this certificate is shown on the dates on this page, including VAT, registration and certificate fees.

Both certificates together are £2,100 including VAT on the combined course.

At our clinic at 3 Locks Court, 429 Crofton Road, Locksbottom, Orpington, Kent BR6 8NL, in the London Borough of Bromley, near London. Your theory is online, so you travel in for your 2 practical training days and your end point assessment day. Our team will confirm your dates when you book.

No. HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) is a different treatment with its own qualification: our VTCT Level 4 Award in HIFU. A manufacturer course or our CPD RF and ultrasound cavitation body course shows you a device. This course leads to the regulated VTCT Level 4 Certificate in Ultrasound, with written assignments, an online theory exam and an external practical examination with a VTCT assessor.
