There are 40 procedures to be obtained on mentoring sessions with expert supervision in small practical training groups.
Theoretical training
In this section, candidates will have access to E-learning modules that provide a comprehensive background into aesthetic medicine through lectures, literature papers, current evidence, guidelines and forums. Full completion of this E-Learning library is required to facilitate the Coursework and Critical Appraisal components of the qualification. It’s also required that candidates complete fully referenced short essays and 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.
Support and Training During the Course
The Level 7 Diploma’s unique holistic approach to aesthetic medicine means candidates gain the highest standards in practical training and support – to equip them for a successful career. Through supervised hands-on sessions, live demonstrations, and case studies, students gain invaluable experience, as well as the competence and confidence to perform techniques on their own patients. Our training and support goes well beyond the course itself; our experienced faculty continues to offer guidance to students outside of the classroom and after the diploma has been completed.
The course is split into different sessions that cover a variety of observed and performed procedures, where we teach the entire treatment process, from information and consent to treatment and aftercare. In order to meet the practical training element of the course, students must evidence 40 procedures in a portfolio. This is facilitated through 3-5 morning sessions, held at weekends, where everything is set up for the students, including patients, portfolio, and products. We take care of all the arrangements beforehand and afterward, including patient aftercare. Students simply need to turn up, ready to inject under the close supervision of our expert trainers.
