Your Aesthetics Training Pathway
Many delegates arrive with the same questions. Where do I start. What should I do next. How far do I want to go.
There are two main ways to begin your journey with us.
Build Your Own Pathway
You can book your training step by step.
1. Step one – Foundation Botox and Dermal Filler Training Course
Learn upper face botulinum toxin and safe starter filler areas with live patients.
2. Step two – Intermediate Botox and Dermal Filler Training Course
Build confidence with more hands on upper face work and an introduction to lip treatments.
3. Step three – Advanced Training Courses
Choose from Advanced Botox, Advanced Botox and Dermal Filler, Facial Contouring or Lip Masterclass, depending on the treatments you want to offer.
This flexible route is ideal if you want to move at your own pace or spread your training over time.
Enhanced Level 7 Diploma with built in pathway
If you know you want a complete structured route, the Enhanced Level 7 Diploma brings your key pathway courses and your qualification together in one programme.
With the Enhanced Level 7 Diploma, you complete:
- Foundation Botox and Dermal Filler Training Course
- Intermediate Botox and Dermal Filler Training Course
- One Advanced Masterclass, such as Advanced Botox, Facial Contouring or Lip Masterclass
- Your Supervised Practice Days and Observation Days

This option is a good fit if you want a clear start to finish plan, extra practical experience and a recognised qualification at the end.
Foundation Botox and Dermal Filler Training Course
Our Foundation Botox and Dermal Filler Training Course offers a first step for medical professionals seeking to start practising as an injecting aesthetician.
Before attending, you complete around 3 hours of pre-course learning that covers the basic theory of Botulinum Toxin (Botox), Dermal Fillers, Anatomy, and Safety.
On the day you take part in:
- A morning theory session to review key concepts and ask questions
- A live demonstration of Upper Face Botox
- Group work on consultation skills and facial assessment
- Marking up treatment areas with your trainer
- Hands on work with live patients in small groups
During the practical session, you complete:
- Full Upper Face Botox, which includes Glabella, Forehead and Crow’s Feet
- Cheek Filler using a cannula in the Zygomatic Area
- Filler Around the Mouth, including Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines
You train with genuine Botox and Juvederm products so that you become familiar with the brands used across UK clinics.
Most delegates finish feeling ready to begin offering foundation level treatments with our ongoing support behind them.
Intermediate Botox and Dermal Filler Training Course
The Intermediate course builds on your foundation skills and increases your injector time.
You complete:
- Further practical work in the Upper Face Botulinum Toxin
- More Cheek and Lower Face Dermal Filler
- Your introduction to Lip treatments in a safe and controlled way
Group sizes are kept small, so you have plenty of time with your trainer.
Some delegates attend immediately after their Foundation, while others prefer to treat a few patients first. We can help you decide which approach suits your confidence level.
Advanced Training Options
As your confidence grows, you can progress onto advanced courses.
Advanced Botox
Learn more complex toxin treatments, including brow lift, bunny lines, gummy smile, masseter work and platysmal bands.
Advanced Botox and Dermal Filler
Develop your toxin skills alongside more advanced cheek work and selected lip techniques.
