Getting Started with Your Level 7 Diploma
When it comes to accredited aesthetic training courses, Level 7 surpasses the competition in expertise, training, and credibility because it builds on the following four components:
As part of the practical portfolio, candidates will undergo supervised learning and assessment of procedural skills during mentoring sessions. They’ll also have a logbook facility to record all 40 procedures (20 observed and 20 performed) in toxin and dermal filler modalities. Expert supervisors will oversee 40 procedures during mentoring sessions in small practical training groups.
Theoretical training
In this section, candidates will have access to E-learning modules (by Health Education England) that provide a comprehensive background into aesthetic medicine through lectures, literature papers, current evidence, guidelines and forums. To facilitate the Coursework and Critical Appraisal components of the qualification, candidates must complete the full E-Learning library. Additionally, candidates are required to write fully referenced short essays and complete coursework based on the e-learning modules to demonstrate their theoretical competencies.
Practical training
As part of the practical training, students will experience mentoring days for hands-on injecting experience. This CPD-certified cosmetic course will provide the knowledge and skills necessary to perform foundation aesthetic procedures safely, effectively, and with confidence. It is also optional to do additional courses such as the Advanced Course and Masterclass.
Academic portfolio
For the academic portfolio part of the diploma, candidates must submit coursework on an allocated topic in aesthetic medicine, as assigned by their training provider. They must also submit a case study related to aesthetic practice, and must undertake a critical appraisal of a published paper in aesthetic medicine.
