Accreditation & Qualification Information

Gentle Touch Therapy Training College is a fully verified training provider and is registered with the UK Register of Learning Providers (UKPRN: 10048871).

Professional Accreditation

All courses are professionally accredited by one or more recognised industry bodies. Accreditation ensures that our courses meet professional standards and are suitable for obtaining practitioner insurance.

Our accrediting bodies include:

  • The Guild of Beauty Therapists / Guild of Holistic Therapists

  • Professional Beauty Direct

  • Complementary Medical Association

  • International Association of Therapists

  • Accreditation Council of Holistic Healers

  • World Metaphysical Association

  • Reiki Healing Association

Are your courses Level 2 or Level 3?

Our qualifications are professionally accredited diplomas rather than Ofqual-regulated (RQF) awards such as NVQ or VTCT. For this reason, certificates do not carry formal Level numbers.

In terms of industry standard and course depth, foundation-level therapy courses are generally comparable to Level 2, and advanced courses requiring prior knowledge are typically comparable to Level 3.

If an external organisation specifically requires an Ofqual-regulated qualification, we recommend confirming with them whether a professionally accredited diploma is acceptable for their purposes.
