We are now proud to be offering a Level 7 Diploma. In order to do this we have had to change awarding body, bolster our learning materials, and meet stringent new criteria and specification. All learners signed up before June 2020 will be completing their certificate with the awarding body SFJ Awards, those enrolling after will be completing with the new awarding body OTHM Qualifications. We, as an educational academy, remain committed to providing our delegates with rigorous hand-on training to the highest educational standard.
Level 7 refers to a level of education equivalent to a master’s degree. A level 7 diploma is a globally-recognised qualification. It is a higher qualification, and worth more credits than a Certificate, but not a full master’s. It can be ‘topped-up’ to a full master’s degree.
The Level 7 Diploma is equivalent to 60 postgraduate credits.
About Enrolment
You can contact our level 7 team directly at level7@acqusitionaesthetics.co.uk or give us a call on 020 3514 8757. One of our team will be able to talk you through the options and design a payment plan that is interest free and that works for you and your circumstances.
The course does not follow the traditional academic calendar – instead it’s designed to be entirely flexible to work around you and your commitments, so you can enrol at any time! Along with this you can access the majority of the work remotely, at your own pace, and attend which course dates and locations suit you.
If you have previously trained with Acquisition Aesthetics, the cost of previous training can be redeemed from the total cost of your diploma.

RPL will differ for each practitioner.

This will represent a significant saving of money and time in achieving your qualification.
Yes, just call one of our team members and they’ll explain how we can use your previous qualification to enrol you on the Level 7 with Acquisition Aesthetics.
We have different levels of the Level 7 Diploma and can offer bespoke payment plans that suit your needs. Prices range from £2495 to £8295 (+ VAT).

About The Course
Practical training days are based on full training days, supplemented by online learning materials and training videos. Mentoring sessions are mornings only. You choose which dates and locations suit you. The rest of the course comprises theoretical reading, training videos and coursework – this can all be completed at your own pace. As such the full qualification from start to finish is flexible but can be completed from around 9 to 24 months.
Our level 7 trainers have to meet stringent criteria to train on the level 7 course days, you can view our esteemed faculty here.
24 months, however if you require an extension, we have flexible options.
If you have prior experience it may well be possible for you to complete the course in its entirety remotely. For this you will be considering applying for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) – please see above. If you have no, or little prior aesthetics experience you will need to attend practical training days. The majority of the work involved for the course however can be accessed remotely.
RPL: Recognition of prior learning: to qualify for this route, you must have been practicing in aesthetic medicine and injectables for 2 years (with accompanying CPD) and demonstrate 20 performed and 20 observed procedures to an assessor. If you do not have all of these records but have been practicing in aesthetic medicine for the required minimum time, then please contact one of our team members as we might be able to facilitate enrolling you.
Standard: Includes the Foundation and Advanced courses with Acquisition Aesthetics, four mentoring sessions as well as the academic coursework, tutoring support and access to the graduate groups and Level 7 Diploma sessions (see below).
Enhanced, the most core effective option, including the Foundation and Advanced courses, four mentoring sessions as well as access to our tear trough, lip augmentation and complication masterclasses. You will also have full access to all protocols, graduate groups, Diploma sessions, newsletters and priority access to conferences.
In the Level 7 Mentoring sessions you will be placed in a small teaching group of no more than four. This is hugely beneficial as it has been shown that a great deal of learning happens passively and actively by being amongst other learners (up to a certain group size).
One of our experienced faculty members and trainers will supervise and mentor you through a range of procedures in toxin and fillers. The sessions will be structured so you can gain the observed and performed procedure numbers that are required for the level 7. All patients and products are sourced for you and the entire treatment process from information and consent to treatment and aftercare will be taught. The mentoring days usually last half a day and are carried out in our training facilities in London, Newcastle, Manchester, Dublin, Cardiff and Glasgow.
To meet the practical training element of the course you must evidence 40 procedures in a portfolio. To do this you will attend 3-5 morning sessions, held at weekends. We set these sessions up for you entirely, including your patients, portfolio and products. We take care of everything beforehand, and everything after, including patient aftercare. You simply need to turn up, ready to inject under the close supervision of our expert trainers.
Yes, all models are provided for the training days. We record your treatment procedures as you progress through the level 7 and will focus our model allocations dependent on this.
Accordion As long as you gain relevant medical malpractice insurance you may begin practicing on your own patients as soon as you have completed your Foundation training day
**You will only be able to practice the procedures for which you have completed training – for example after the Foundation training you will gain competency in the Foundation procedures, following your Advanced training you will be able to independently practice the procedures covered on your advanced course.Content
Yes, absolutely and this is the primary focus of the qualification.! The aim of the Level 7 Diploma is to enable learners/practitioners to provide the highest standards of patient and client care during all stages of delivering cosmetic/aesthetic injectable therapies. In recognition of this it is stipulated that the practitioner must demonstrate a good clinical base of injecting with a minimum of 40 procedures achieved. Acquisition Aesthetics ensure that their delegates have access to mentoring days and all of their award winning courses (not including skin or NSR).
For the Standard and Enhanced Level 7, you must record 10 observed toxin treatments, 10 performed toxin treatments, 10 observed dermal filler treatments and 10 performed dermal filler treatments. All these treatments must be signed off by a Level 7 Trainer.

Yes, we do. This is a fantastic option for you if you are wishing to have bespoke and individual training from one of our highly experienced trainers and if you would like to complete the Level 7 qualification in less time. These days take place in the selected training clinics and all models and products are provided for you. You can use all experience on this day to count towards your procedure record for your Level 7.
Short Answer Questions. There are 40 SAQs which require around 150 – 800 words each and these compromise your coursework.
Each Unit is focused on a different aspect of facial aesthetics: Anatomy, Pathophysiology and Dermatology for Aesthetic Injectable Therapies, Medical Assessment, Consultation and Image Recording, Clinical Health, Safety and Welfare, Aesthetic Injectable Therapies for Facial Treatments, Aesthetic Injectable Therapies for Non-Facial Treatments, Values, Ethics and Professionalism in Applied Cosmetic Aesthetic Practice
The coursework is assessed by an internal team of assessors and then an internal verifier checks this marking, this is then passed to the external verifier who provides the certificate for your diploma.
