AFTER YOUR COURSE

Certified, insured and ready to work

The two questions we are asked most, answered up front.

  1. 1

    Get certified

    Receive your certificate on completion of your course.

  2. 2

    Arrange your insurance

    Once certified, you can arrange your aesthetics insurance.

  3. 3

    Start working

    Treat patients straight away, in your own practice or in an established clinic.

Will I be certified and can I start working straight after the course?

Yes. You receive your certificate on completion of your course. Once certified, you can arrange your insurance, and as soon as your insurance is in place you can start treating patients straight away.

Can I get a job in a clinic after the course?

Yes. Once you are certified and insured, you can apply to work in an established clinic or set up on your own. Clinics look for practitioners who have trained hands-on with real patients, which is exactly how every one of our courses is taught.
