Aesthetician / Beauty Therapist Prometric Exam

BYT5862 is the DHA code for the Aesthetician / Beauty Therapist Prometric exam, and its published blueprint splits the paper across 8 areas: anatomy & physiology, health & safety, electro therapy treatment face, micro-needling, skin care, chemical peels hydro facial, radio frequency and professionalism and ethics. That list is the syllabus — questions are written to those headings from 3 named reference texts, so revision that ignores it is revision spent on the wrong material.

About the Aesthetician / Beauty Therapist Prometric Exam (BYT5862)

BYT5862 is the DHA code for the Aesthetician / Beauty Therapist Prometric exam, and its published blueprint splits the paper across 8 areas: anatomy & physiology, health & safety, electro therapy treatment face, micro-needling, skin care, chemical peels hydro facial, radio frequency and professionalism and ethics. That list is the syllabus — questions are written to those headings from 3 named reference texts, so revision that ignores it is revision spent on the wrong material.

The sitting is 100 multiple-choice questions in 2 hours — about 1.2 minutes per question — delivered on computer at a Prometric test centre. The 65% pass mark works out at roughly 65 correct answers out of 100. Nothing is deducted for a wrong answer, so an unanswered question is the only guaranteed zero on the paper.

The paper is sat by allied health professionals applying for a licence under the Aesthetician / Beauty Therapist professional title. In practice the exam is rarely the bottleneck: the regulator has to accept your qualification and experience, and Dataflow has to return primary source verification, before a booking slot exists at all. Start that paperwork alongside your revision rather than after it.

This bank holds 1,600 explained questions cut to the same headings as the BYT5862 outline, each with written reasoning that also rules out the distractors. Retries are unlimited, and the timed mocks run at the real 100-question, 2-hour, 65%-to-pass settings — so the first time you sit this paper at full pace is not the morning it counts.

One body of content, seven regulators. DHA in Dubai, MOHAP across the UAE, SCFHS in Saudi Arabia, QCHP in Qatar, NHRA in Bahrain and OMSB in Oman all license the Aesthetician / Beauty Therapist title off a Prometric-delivered MCQ paper, and the overlap between them is substantial. DOH runs its sitting through Pearson VUE instead. What differs is the pass mark, the classification tier they will grade you into, and how many attempts they allow — not the medicine.

Aesthetician / Beauty Therapist exam — frequently asked questions

What does exam code BYT5862 cover?

BYT5862 is the Aesthetician / Beauty Therapist Prometric paper. The code appears on your eligibility approval and on the Prometric booking screen — quote it when you book, because neighbouring grades of the same profession have their own codes and their own papers.

How many questions is the Aesthetician / Beauty Therapist exam, and how long do I get?

100 questions in 2 hours, which is about 1.2 minutes each. It is computer-based at a Prometric centre, and you can flag and revisit questions before you submit.

What is the pass mark for BYT5862?

65% under the DHA guideline — roughly 65 correct answers out of 100. Nothing is deducted for wrong answers, so leave nothing blank. Other Gulf regulators publish their own thresholds for the same content, so confirm the figure with the authority you are applying to.

Which topics carry the marks in the Aesthetician / Beauty Therapist exam?

The published blueprint names 8 areas: Anatomy & Physiology, Health & Safety, Electro Therapy treatment face, Micro-Needling, Skin Care, Chemical Peels Hydro facial, Radio Frequency and Professionalism and Ethics. Our chapters use the same headings, so a weak chapter score points straight at the blueprint area to revisit.

Do I need a separate exam for each Gulf authority?

No. DHA, MOHAP, SCFHS, QCHP, NHRA and OMSB each license the Aesthetician / Beauty Therapist title off a Prometric-delivered MCQ paper built on the same content. DOH runs its sitting through Pearson VUE instead. What changes between them is the pass mark, the classification tier and the attempt limit — so one body of preparation carries across, but each application is its own file.

What does it cost to sit BYT5862?

DHA's exam guideline prices this sitting at USD 180, which is roughly AED 661 at the dirham peg. That is the test fee alone: the regulator's application charge and Dataflow verification are billed separately, and other Gulf authorities set their own amounts for the same paper.

What do I need before I can book BYT5862?

An eligibility approval from the regulator — your qualification and experience accepted against its classification rules — plus Dataflow primary source verification returned on your degree, licence and experience letters. The booking window opens after that, not before, which is why the paperwork should run in parallel with your revision.

The referral discount + coupon combo made this really affordable for a family with two doctors preparing at once. Both of us cleared DHA back to back.

Loved the interface - clean, fast, no ads. The retry mode where you only see the ones you got wrong is a lifesaver in the last week before the exam.

Very well organized. The pass score prediction after finishing chapters kept me honest - I re-attempted the ones under 70% until I was above 85% consistently.

Solid question bank. A couple of questions in the older chapters felt slightly outdated but the explanations were still accurate. QCHP verdict: passed.
