CIBTAC Qualifications through Energy Academy
CIBTAC is one of the longest established awarding bodies within the health and beauty sector based in the UK. The rigorous examination process ensures all CIBTAC Graduates are well- trained, have the knowledge to safely carry out treatments independently and have the understanding and expertise to start adding their own flair to treatments as soon as they start working.

Portfolio Content Sheet
​
The purpose of a portfolio is to keep in one place a record of evidence of all treatments or occasions where practice and experience of techniques and ranges for the qualification being studied are kept.
The folder should be large enough to hold all of this evidence generated. If more than one qualification ibeing studied for, it is often possible to put all of the evidence in one folder with dividers.
To remove the need to duplicated evidence, it is important to be aware that if any units of study are replicated between qualification being studied. It is highly recommended that the evidence is only produced once but clearly signposted for the examiner to find.
