Stage 1 · Eligibility
Checked honestly, before you book.
Four things, with entry requirements and certification status stated before you book.
We tell you before you pay what the course does and does not give you: whether the certificate is Ofqual-regulated or a certificate of attendance, what insurers typically require on top, and the fact that you will still need a prescriber for any prescription-only medicine. Courses that leave that until afterwards sell a lot of disappointment.
Checked honestly, before you book.
Status of the certificate stated.
Anatomy, consent and complications.
Prescriber and insurance explained.
What you already do, verified.
Recognition and immediate response.
Refined under observation.
Including when to stop a procedure.
The most useful advanced training is complication management, because the day something goes wrong is the day a practitioner discovers what their foundation course skipped. Vascular occlusion recognition and response is taught as a core part rather than an optional extra.
The aesthetics training market is full of certificates that look official and are not regulated by anyone. Where a route is Ofqual-regulated we name the awarding organisation and the qualification number; where it is not, we say so in plain terms and imply no equivalence.
Regulated or unregulated, explained.
Published before you commit.
Observed practice, not just attendance.
Describing accurately what it is.
Checked. Under-18s refused, by law.
Face to face with a prescriber.
Risks, including rare ones.
Written, with a contact for problems.
Every patient has a consultation, and a prescription-only medicine is prescribed only after a prescriber has assessed them personally. Treating under-18s cosmetically is a criminal offence in England and we will refuse it, including where a parent consents. We also decline patients whose expectations the treatment cannot meet.
Ask before you book. We will tell you honestly, including when the answer is no.
