As a healthcare professional, you benefit from an invaluable skill set incorporating years of learning and discipline. Whether you are a trained doctor, dentist, nurse or pharmacist, your profession is an essential service for patients nationwide.

What you may have yet to consider, though, is that your skill set is also widely transferable to several different industries. A particularly exciting profession is the practice of aesthetic medicine, one of the last decade’s fastest-growing sectors. While aesthetics is a postgraduate-level speciality that requires theoretical and practical training and examination, establishing a successful career as an injector may not be as complicated as you think. With Acquisition Aesthetics’ gold-standard training and highly flexible courses, we have streamlined the process of becoming a fully qualified aesthetician. By completing our esteemed Level 7 Diploma, you can build a rewarding and lucrative full-time career, or indeed an additional income stream alongside your current role, in as little as nine months.

What is the Level 7 Diploma?

The aesthetics industry has been subject to intense scrutiny over the past few years, mainly due to the high number of patient complaints of botched dermal filler and Botox® treatments administered by unqualified injectors. Consumers have also become far savvier to the dangers of botched injections and, as a result, are far more discerning about the practitioners and clinics they select to carry out their treatment. 

Because of this, the Level 7 Diploma in facial aesthetics is widely regarded as the recognised training benchmark for all practising aestheticians in the UK. As the most comprehensive training available on the market, it exhaustively covers every element of facial aesthetics, from the advanced head and neck anatomy to hands-on practical training on live model patients. 

The Level 7 Diploma is broken down into several key learning objectives:

• Theoretical training – With a digital library of e-modules, it’s straightforward to complete training videos, lectures and coursework at your own pace and around your busy lifestyle.
• SAQ & Coursework – Short essays and coursework are assigned in conjunction with the e-learning modules to allow you to demonstrate theoretical competency.
• Foundation course – Designed for medics new to injectables training, this micro-course covers foundation aesthetic procedures and equips you with the skills and knowledge necessary to administer treatments safely and confidently.
• Advanced course – In this course, you will build upon your foundation training and become proficient in advanced injection techniques.
• Masterclasses – Three masterclasses; two focused on aesthetic specialties and the third on complications management, your trainer will exhaustively cover the advanced elements required to position you as an expert in each specialty. The three masterclasses offered by Acquisition Aesthetics are the Tear Trough Masterclass, Lip Augmentation Masterclass and Complications & Litigation Masterclass.
