Description

The Candle Making Level 5 Advanced Diploma is a comprehensive training programme that explores the technical, artistic, and commercial sides of candle making. Beginning with an overview of the craft's rich history and the tools involved, the course progresses through every stage of the process—from wax selection and wick sizing to scent formulation, colouring techniques, and moulding methods.

Learners will master the intricacies of wax types, melting methods, and the role of additives in achieving optimal candle performance. Detailed lessons cover how to choose and position candle wicks, blend essential and fragrance oils, and maximise scent throw for various candle types.

A dedicated module on colour theory and dye techniques will teach learners how to mix, match, and customise candle colours, while advanced sessions tackle layered, embedded, and multi-wick designs. The course also explores troubleshooting common candle making issues and achieving professional finishes through decoration and presentation.

Crucially, the course dives into the business side of candle making, including pricing, marketing, and brand development. A full lecture on sustainability ensures learners understand how to create candles ethically and responsibly, incorporating environmental awareness into their creative process.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
