Why choose 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

Our expert aesthetic trainers are handpicked by our Clinical Director Consultant Plastic Surgeon Mr Adrian Richards.

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.

JCCP Update August

JCCP Update – New licensing system and government update

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.

You can read the full statement on the survey which underlines the need for a new licensing system by clicking here.

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.

How to acquire an aesthetics qualification

Choosing to acquire a qualification in medical aesthetics is essential for several reasons. Although it’s not a requirement in the UK, regulation is coming into the aesthetics industry and it’s important to plan to acquire an aesthetic qualification or eligibility for the national licensing scheme.

The key benefits of Acquiring an Aesthetics Qualification

Acquiring a qualification in aesthetics allows medical practitioners to use their creative flair whilst staying up to date with the latest advancements and techniques in this rapidly evolving industry. This will help you stand out and create subtle yet striking transformations for your patients.
Enhance your career opportunities and employability. With the rising demand for aesthetic treatments, there are so many opportunities available to excel in your aesthetic career. Most employers make it a requirement that you have been proven to be a safe and effective injector. Acquiring an aesthetic qualification will future proof your career.
As an Aesthetic practitioner, you have the chance to have a positive influence on society. Aesthetically qualified individuals can contribute to social causes, raise awareness, and inspire others through their work. This will also give you a huge amount of personal fulfillment and satisfaction.

Acquire an aesthetics qualification

Qualifications are a great way to future proof your career within aesthetics. You will gain all of the relevant knowledge and practical skills to perform aesthetic treatments independently in the safest manner. We’re here to help you in the acquisition of your aesthetic qualifications. You can check out all the following options below.

What are your options for the acquisition of your aesthetic qualifications?

JCCP Fast Track

Suitable for experienced injectors, our Fast Track Assessment has been built in collaboration with the JCCP to allow aesthetic practitioners to join the JCCP register after successful completion. Also seen as a “Level 7 alternative”.

The JCCP Fast Track Assessment can be completed in a day (3 hours theory & 3 hours practical) or spread according to suit your schedule. This makes it a great option for experienced aesthetic practitioners who are looking to gain formal recognition for their expertise.

To find out more information on the JCCP Fast Track Assessment including; the structure, assessment and locations, click here.

Level 7 Diploma

The Level 7 Diploma is a JCCP approved and VTCT certified clinical aesthetics diploma in injectable treatments for medical professionals. This is the perfect aesthetic qualification for those considering a career in aesthetic medicine and those already practicing who are looking to obtain formal recognition for their knowledge and skills.

The Level 7 Diploma delves deep into the understanding of Botulinum Toxin Type A and Dermal Fillers, leaving delegates feeling confident in their treatments and practice.

There are two different approaches to gaining your Level 7 Diploma, depending on your aesthetic experience. The two options are the Full Qualification and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

Full Qualification

This is the full qualification for those starting out in the industry and includes each element of the Diploma from Foundation level to examination. The Level 7 Aesthetics Diploma will provide you with the relevant knowledge and practical skills to safely and competently perform the following procedures independently:
The use of Botulinum Toxin to treat the Upper and Lower Face.
The use of Dermal Fillers to treat Nasolabial Folds, Marionette Lines, Oral Commissures, Lip Augmentation, and Cheek Augmentation.

You will also learn key information on understanding your patient, facial anatomy and ageing, managing possible complications, and effective treatment administration. The Level 7 Aesthetic Medicine Diploma is suitable for all medically registered professionals. You can find out more information on the Level 7 Diploma by clicking here.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) route of the Level 7 Diploma is suitable for experienced aesthetic practitioners. The RPL is only valid for the clinical practice components of the qualification. Medical professionals will be required to complete online learning material, summative synoptic assignments, a literature review, and a final practical assessment with an external objective examination. This will be to demonstrate your level of confidence in aesthetic medicine.

Aesthetic practitioner’s experience will be submitted in the form of a logbook and must include:
Evidence of 30 case studies for botulinum toxin and 30 case studies for Dermal Filler (60 in total) collated within the last 2 years.
A reference from an experienced aesthetic colleague or peer who can confirm your prior learning.

If you want to find out more information about the acquisition of your aesthetic qualifications, our team is always on hand to help you choose the best option for you as an aesthetic practitioner. You can find out more information and contact our team by clicking here.

How to become an aesthetic nurse

How to become an aesthetic nurse

The aesthetics industry is growing rapidly each year and we are seeing more nurses make the move into aesthetics to become an aesthetic nurse. With a greater patient contact time, healthier work-life balance, and creativity aspect, it is no surprise the industry is growing. We have put together some important steps you can take if you are interested in pursuing a career as an aesthetic nurse.

Complete a nursing degree

The first step in becoming an aesthetic nurse is to complete a nursing degree. You must complete an approved nursing degree in the UK, such as a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Nursing or an undergraduate diploma in nursing. These programs typically take between three to four years to complete. Another way of becoming a nurse that does not require full-time study at university is through a registered nurse degree apprenticeship (RNDA). You can find out more information on the NHS website by clicking here.

Get NMC registration and gain nursing experience

After completing your nursing qualification, you will be able to register with the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council). The Nursing and Midwifery Council is the regulator for nursing and midwifery professions in the UK. Once you have successfully registered with the NMC, we would recommend you gain some general nursing experience. This is important to have before moving into the aesthetics industry as a lot of the skills you learn are transferable. Becoming a nurse will help you feel more comfortable working with patients and build your confidence when performing different procedures. Other skills required when becoming an aesthetic nurse would be communication and interpersonal skills. Having all the above skills combined with relevant experience will provide you with a solid foundation for transitioning into aesthetics. We can teach you the best techniques and what to look out for when it comes to dealing with patients in our aesthetic training courses.

Make the move into Aesthetics

Making the move into the aesthetics industry has never been easier. The first step when becoming an aesthetic nurse would be to gain a solid understanding of the industry. This includes learning about all the various treatments available but more importantly, the anatomy and physiology. Having an idea of the treatments you want to offer your patients will help guide you in the training you need to undertake and the direction of your career. Training courses are a fantastic way to learn new skills, treatments, and techniques, and network with other aesthetic practitioners. There are several training courses available when getting started, so finding the right one for you can be difficult. There are a few essential features you must have when attending an aesthetic training course and they are:

The training provider offers a wide range of training from beginner to expert level
All practical training takes place in a clinical environment to reduce the risk of complications
Live model patients are provided for practical training
Unlimited Support – this could be anything from clinical questions to business and marketing.
Aesthetic trainers are medical professionals (surgeons, doctors, dentists, nurses) who have a wealth of knowledge and are highly accredited within their own medical professions.
Opportunities available after attending training

You can find out more about what sets us apart from other aesthetic training providers and why we were awarded the “Best Training Provider” of the year at the 2023 Aesthetic Awards by clicking here.

Obtain insurance and start treating

Once you have completed your initial foundation training and gained your certificate, it’s important to obtain appropriate insurance. There are several reasons why you need insurance to complete aesthetic treatments, such as:
Financial protection: Insurance can help protect you financially by offsetting or covering the expenses associated with your treatments. It also provides a safety net in case of unexpected complications, additional procedures, or unsatisfactory results.
Complications: Your insurance will give you access to medical support in the event of a complication for help and advice.
Peace of mind: Insurance provides safety for you so you can focus on the treatments and patient experience knowing that you have insurance behind you.

We recommend HPPB, a specialised aesthetics insurance company. They are extremely friendly and have a Medical Advisory Board, which can advise you if you have any issues. This support is crucial when dealing with any issues or claims promptly and effectively.

Keep learning and practicing to build your confidence

The aesthetics industry is constantly evolving so it is important to keep up to date. The best way to receive the most up-to-date news and information would be by signing up for newsletters, journals (Aesthetics Journal), and joining networks (CCR & ACE).

Choosing the Best PRP Technology for Skin Rejuvenation and Hair Loss

In the ever-growing world of cosmetic treatments, Cosmetic Courses stands out as a leader in providing quality training for Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, a popular method for skin rejuvenation and hair loss treatment. At Cosmetic Courses, we are dedicated to offering the highest level of training. To achieve that, we collaborate with industry partners who share our values and support our mission.

Our trusted partners in PRP training is Cellenis® PRP. In this blog post, we’ll explain why we choose Cellenis PRP for our training courses.

Cellenis® PRP

First and foremost, patient safety is our utmost priority. Cellenis® PRP not only meets but exceeds the stringent regulatory standards set for medical devices in the UK. This ensures that patients are not put at risk during the treatment process.

PRP systems can vary significantly in their preparation methods and resulting PRP components. Cellenis PRP stands out due to its unique and proprietary Separator Gel technology. This optimises the biological profile of Cellenis® PRP in several ways:

  1. Effective removal of inflammatory neutrophils: Cellenis PRP efficiently separates inflammatory neutrophils from healing monocytes, which fight infections and stimulate stem cells. The ability to separate these specific types of white blood cells is unmatched by any other PRP system. As a result, Cellenis PRP is the least inflammatory PRP available in the market.
  2. Elimination of red blood cells (RBC): Cellenis PRP ensures that there are no detectable red blood cells present. RBCs are known to cause inflammation, inhibit fibroblast proliferation, and even lead to cell death. By removing RBCs, Cellenis PRP promotes optimal conditions for hair regeneration and overall skin rejuvenation.
  3. Cellenis PRP Training - Cosmetic Courses 1High platelet recovery rate: In hair loss treatment, Cellenis PRP has the unique ability to increase the platelet concentration to the optimal formulation required. This is four to five times the concentration found in patients’ blood. This means that each microliter of PRP injected contains at least one million platelets. Achieving this concentration is crucial for optimal hair regeneration outcomes.
  4. Modified anticoagulant: Cellenis PRP utilizes an anticoagulant with a pH of 7 and added dextrose, which is beneficial for platelets. Unlike other anticoagulants with acidic pH levels, Cellenis PRP causes no stinging sensation when injected. Enhancing patient comfort during the procedure.

Value for Money

Furthermore, Cellenis PRP offers excellent value for money. While there may be similar-looking PRP tubes available at lower prices, published evidence shows that the platelet capture of these lower-cost alternatives is at least half that of Cellenis. Consequently, using Cellenis PRP means you need only one tube, whereas you may require two tubes of the lower-cost PRP to achieve the same platelet concentration. By opting for Cellenis PRP, you ensure optimal outcomes for your patients and help build your professional reputation.

Now, let’s address a common question: why can’t we use vacutainers for PRP preparation, even if we choose a reputable brand like BD from a pharmacy?Cellenis PRP Training - cosmetic courses

Vacutainers, regardless of the brand, are intended for blood analysis only. They are not certified or classified for PRP preparation and injection into humans. The gel and tube contents have not undergone safety testing for PRP production. In addition, some anticoagulants used in in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) vacutainers can be detrimental to platelets. Their acidic pH levels may cause discomfort upon injection.

It is worth noting that in the United States, BD vacutainers come with labels explicitly stating that they are not to be used for PRP preparation. Although such warnings are not mandatory in Europe, it is possible that the UK’s new UKCA mark, replacing CE certification, may require similar precautions from the HMRA (UK regulatory authority).

At Cosmetic Courses, we strongly discourage the use of IVD vacutainers for PRP preparation. Your patients, who trust you and invest in your treatments, deserve a higher standard of care and safety.

Another concern: purchasing PRP tubes from uncertified suppliers offering significantly lower prices

If you come across PRP tubes from a supplier claiming CE certification but do not find the CE mark, the four-digit number, or the name and address of the EU Representative or UK Responsible Person on the label, be cautious. The absence of CE certification indicates that the manufacturer has not undergone the necessary inspections and audits to ensure compliance with EU and UK regulatory standards. It also means that there are no checks on the tube’s contents or the manufacturing processes.

In such cases, we strongly recommend insisting on seeing the CE certificate from the supplier. Verify the authenticity of the certificate by consulting a competent person familiar with the requirements. Using uncertified PRP tubes can pose risks to patient safety. This has been evidenced by past incidents like the PIP breast implant scandal, which led to stricter regulations.

The temptation to cut corners and save money through do-it-yourself (DIY) PRP preparation

While it may be tempting to save approximately £40-£60 per treatment. DIY alternative involves using sterile empty vacuum tubes and purchasing anticoagulant separately. However, this approach has several drawbacks. The platelet recovery rate is around 40%, meaning the concentration of platelets in the PRP is significantly lower. Moreover, the anticoagulant used is typically the standard acidic type, which may cause discomfort upon injection.

Using such DIY methods compromises the quality and effectiveness of PRP treatment. Your patients may not be aware of the suboptimal results, but as a healthcare professional, it is your responsibility to provide the best possible care and maintain high treatment standards.

In conclusion, Cosmetic Courses prioritises patient safety and effective outcomes. That’s why we choose Cellenis PRP, a superior PRP technology that ensures optimal biological profile, patient comfort, and excellent value for money. We strongly advise against using uncertified PRP tubes or resorting to DIY methods, as they compromise patient safety and treatment efficacy.

By staying committed to the highest standards of training and technology, we aim to provide our trainees with the best tools and knowledge to deliver exceptional cosmetic treatments.

Will I need insurance and can I treat after completing my Foundation Botox and Dermal Filler Training Course

Will I need insurance and can I treat after completing my Foundation Botox and Dermal Filler Training Course?

We are often asked questions about insurance and treating patients after successfully completing the Foundation Botox and Dermal Filler Training Course from medical professionals.

The Foundation Botox and Dermal Filler Training Course is a medical professional’s entry into aesthetics and will teach you all the basics. Before the Foundation Course, you will receive online learning materials to help you prepare for the practical element.

We have a mixture of focused lecture videos that teach you how to perform the treatments and all the essential information about safety. You will then get to put your learning into practice on live model patients under the guidance of our expert trainers.

 

Botox and Filler Foundation Training Course AKH 1

Insurance of the day of your course

On the Foundation Training Course, you are insured by Cosmetic Courses. You will not have to organise this yourself. To attend our training, you must be medically qualified as a surgeon, doctor, dentist or nurse with current registration with the GMC, GDC or NMC, or equivalent if you are an overseas delegate. When you successfully complete the Foundation Botox and Dermal Filler Training Course, you will receive a certificate of completion. This certificate is recognised by all major aesthetic insurance companies. Once you have your insurance, you can practice what you have learnt.

Insurance after your training

We will recommend an insurance company called HPPB, which focuses on the aesthetics industry. They are very specialised, friendly and can give a very reasonable quote. More importantly, they have a Medical Advisory Board, which can advise you if you have any issues. This support is crucial when dealing with any issues or claims promptly and effectively.

Why do you need insurance?

There are several reasons as to why you need insurance to complete aesthetic treatments, such as:

  1. Financial protection: Insurance can help protect you financially by offsetting or covering the expenses associated with your treatments. It also provides a safety net in case of unexpected complications, additional procedures or unsatisfactory results.
  2. Complications: Your insurance will give you access to medical support in the event of a complication for help and advice.
  3. Peace of mind: Insurance provide safety for you so you can focus on the treatments and patient experience knowing that you have insurance behind you.

 

Aesthetic Starter Kit

You will need all the correct equipment to complete your treatments. We offer a comprehensive Aesthetic Starter Kit for delegates designed to provide you with all the equipment to get started. These practical roll-along aesthetic cases contain enough consumables to treat your first 10 Botox and Dermal Filler patients. Its professional look and portable format make it perfect for treating your patients at a number of different locations. You can find out more about the Aesthetic Starter Kit by clicking here.

    Lip Filler Injection Techniques
    , ,

    Lip Filler Injection Techniques

    Lip filler injection is a cosmetic procedure that has become increasingly popular in recent years. The goal of this procedure is to enhance the shape and volume of the lips using dermal fillers. In this blog, we will discuss some of the different techniques that are used by medical professionals during lip filler injections.

    Different Types of Lip Filler Techniques:

    1. Linear Threading Technique

    The linear threading technique is a popular method used during lip filler injections. This technique involves using a small needle to inject filler along the vermillion border of the lips. The vermillion border is the line between the lips and the skin, and by injecting the filler along this line, medical professionals can enhance the shape of the lips and create a more defined border.

    During the procedure, the injector will carefully inject the filler in a linear fashion, following the natural contours of the lips. This technique is effective for patients who are looking to enhance the shape and definition of their lips.

    1. Tenting Technique

    The tenting technique is another method used during lip filler injections. This technique involves injecting the filler directly into the body of the lip, which can provide volume and fullness. To perform this technique, the medical professional may use a cannula, a small and flexible tube, to create small pockets of filler within the lip tissue.

    The tenting technique is ideal for patients who are looking to add volume to their lips or for those who have lost volume due to aging or weight loss. This technique can create a more natural-looking enhancement and can help to balance out asymmetry in the lips.

    1. Fanning Technique

    The fanning technique involves injecting small amounts of filler in a fan-shaped pattern throughout the lip area. This technique is used to create a more natural-looking enhancement and can help to blend the filler with the natural contours of the lips.

    During the procedure, the medical professional will inject small amounts of filler into the lips, moving in a fan-shaped pattern from one side of the lip to the other. This technique is ideal for patients who are looking for a subtle enhancement and want to avoid an overdone look.

    1. Microdroplet Technique

    The microdroplet technique involves injecting very small amounts of filler in multiple locations throughout the lips. This technique is used to create a subtle and natural-looking enhancement and is ideal for patients who are looking to add a small amount of volume to their lips.

    During the procedure, the medical professional will inject tiny droplets of filler into the lips, spreading the filler out evenly across the lip area. This technique is effective for patients who want to avoid a noticeable change in the appearance of their lips.

    Lip Filler Training with Cosmetic Courses

    At Cosmetic Courses we offer two lip filler training days available for medical professionals across our locations, Lip Filler Introduction Course and Lip Filler Masterclass Training Course. If you would like to find out more about our training courses in the UK and Ireland please contact us on 01844 390110, [email protected] or follow us on social media @cosmeticcourses.

    Training in Profhilo for Medical Professionals
    ,

    Training in Profhilo for Medical Professionals

    Profhilo is a relatively new treatment that has become popular in the aesthetic industry. It is a type of injectable that can rejuvenate the skin by boosting hydration and increasing collagen production. We have seen a huge increase in delegates looking for Profhilo training, as it can produce natural-looking results and does not involve any drastic changes to a person’s appearance. In this blog, we will discuss the training required to administer Profhilo injections safely and effectively.

    Firstly, it is essential to note that only medical professionals with appropriate qualifications should perform Profhilo injections. These include doctors, dentists, and nurses who have undergone relevant training in aesthetic medicine. The training should be conducted by a reputable provider who has experience in teaching the technique.

    The training typically involves a theoretical component, where the delegate learns about the anatomy of the skin and the science behind Profhilo injections. They will also be taught about patient selection, contraindications, and potential side effects. This theoretical knowledge is crucial as it provides the foundation for the practical aspect of the training.

    Once the trainee has a solid understanding of the theory, they will undergo practical training under the supervision of an experienced practitioner. During this stage, the trainee will practice injecting Profhilo into a patient provided by us under the guidance of our expert trainers. Feedback and guidance will be provided along the way to ensure that the delegate is injecting the product safely and effectively.

    After completing the training, the delegate should be confident in their ability to administer Profhilo injections. However, it is crucial to remember that ongoing learning and development are essential to maintaining competence and staying up to date with the latest techniques and best practices. Practitioners should attend regular refresher courses and workshops to ensure they are providing the best possible care to their patients.

    In conclusion, Profhilo is a safe and effective treatment that can provide natural-looking results. However, only qualified medical professionals should administer this treatment, and they should undergo appropriate training to ensure they can do so safely and effectively. The training should include a theoretical component, as well as practical training under the guidance of an experienced practitioner.

    Why Train in Skin Boosters?

    Increase revenue: Offering skin booster treatments can help medical professionals attract more patients and increase their revenue. As the demand for non-surgical aesthetic treatments continues to grow, patients are increasingly seeking out treatments that can improve the quality and appearance of their skin.

    Complement existing treatments: Skin boosters can be used in combination with other treatments, such as botulinum toxin and dermal fillers, to enhance their results. By offering a range of treatments, medical professionals can provide patients with personalized treatment plans that meet their specific needs.

    Non-invasive and low risk: Skin booster treatments are non-invasive and have minimal downtime, making them an attractive option for patients who want to improve their skin without undergoing surgery. Additionally, skin booster injections are low-risk and have few side effects when performed by a qualified practitioner.

    Client satisfaction: Skin booster treatments can provide patients with noticeable and natural-looking results. Patients who are satisfied with their results are likely to return for further treatments and recommend the practitioner to others.

    Professional development: Training in skin booster treatments can help medical professionals stay up-to-date with the latest techniques and advances in the field of aesthetic medicine. This can help them provide their patients with the most effective and safe treatments.

    In conclusion, training in skin booster treatments can provide medical professionals with several benefits, including increased revenue, complementing existing treatments, low-risk and non-invasive procedures, client satisfaction, and professional development. However, it is essential to undergo proper training and obtain the necessary qualifications before offering these treatments to patients.

    Profhilo Training with Cosmetic Courses

    Cosmetic Courses is proud to partner with leading pharmaceutical providers to offer the latest approach to injectable skincare with our skin booster training course. This course will cover three different types of skin boosters including Profhilo, Rederm and Redensity. 

    You must be medically qualified as a surgeon, doctor, dentist, or nurse with a current registration with the GMC, GDC or NMC to attend this course.
