Why cosmetic courses for your aesthetic training

Train with the best training provider in medical aesthetics

We have been awarded the “Best Independent Training Provider of the Year” at the 2023 Aesthetics Awards. Our aesthetic training was considered to have advanced the education of medical aesthetic professionals most effectively through engaging methods of delivery, high-quality training, and a continuous development strategy. We are setting the standard of aesthetic training amongst training providers to shape a safer future within aesthetics.

Expert trainers

Learn from highly accredited medical professionals who all have a wealth of knowledge behind them. Our expert aesthetic trainers are handpicked by our Clinical Director Consultant Plastic Surgeon Mr Adrian Richards. Our team of trainers includes Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, Aesthetic Doctors, Dentists, and Nurses who have all excelled in their respective fields. They have all either owned or worked in established aesthetic clinics, which has given them a comprehensive understanding of the skills required to become a successful aesthetic practitioner.

Learn in a clinical environment

With the licencing scheme coming into the UK it is important you are treating in a clinical environment that meets the requirements. That is why all our training takes place in our state-of-the-art training clinics and not hotel rooms. To minimise complications for patients, a clinical environment that complies with CQC standards should be a minimum requirement.

Complete your training on live model patients

All our practical aesthetic training courses have elements where you will be performing the treatments you have been learning on live model patients handpicked by us. This is not on a plastic model head. We use real people for all our treatments to maximise your learning experience. Not only will you learn about how to perform the treatment, but you will also learn how to interact with the patient which is a crucial skill to learn. We provide enough models on our courses so you can perform the area you have trained in on your own model unlike other training providers which can provide one model for up to 8 delegates.

Broad range of aesthetic training for all levels of ability

We have a broad range of medical aesthetic training courses tailored by our expert aesthetic trainers to keep you up to date with the latest treatments and techniques available. Whether you are just getting started in aesthetics or have been in the industry for over a decade, we have a training course to help you achieve your aesthetic career goals.

We also have a range of course packages available which include our most popular training courses grouped together at a discounted rate. You can view our different course packages by clicking here.

JCCP Update August

The JCCP has recently released updates on their website regarding the new licensing system and the government. The first update we will highlight is the need for a new licensing system.

Survey underlines need for new licensing system

According to an analysis conducted by researchers at University College London (UCL), almost one in four cosmetic practitioners administering injections such as Botox are NOT qualified clinicians.

Another study, published in the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, evaluated 3,000 websites to identify 1,224 independent clinics and 3,667 practitioners who were delivering cosmetic injections and discovered that 32% were doctors, 13% were nurses, 24% were dentists and 8% were dental nurses, leaving 23% (almost one in four) with no formal medical qualifications.

The UK injectables market has seen rapid growth over the past years and it is predicted to reach a value of £11.7 billion by 2026.

Dr David Zargaran, an author of the study, said: “One of the key challenges facing the government’s licensing scheme is to ensure that practitioners granted a license possess the skills and experience required to safely administer their treatment to minimise risks to patients.”

Ensuring patient safety is key. The new licensing system will benefit patients massively and minimise the risk of complications. Once the new licensing system is underway, we should start to see the number of aesthetic practitioners with no formal medical qualifications decrease.

The next update released from the JCCP is from the UK Government committing to public consultation.

Government commits to public consultation

The government confirmed that it intends to publish a public consultation on a licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures later this summer.

Maria Caulfield, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Women, said the government will also work with interested organisations to determine the education and training requirements that practitioners will have to meet, alongside hygiene, cleanliness, and insurance requirements, to demonstrate they can practice safely.

The new licensing regime will create a safer industry and bring a consistent standard that everyone must meet to perform non-surgical aesthetic treatments. It will also safeguard patients that have cosmetic treatments and reduce the chances of complications.

This is a major step in bringing regulation into the aesthetics industry.
