The VTCT Level 7 Diploma offers a comprehensive, holistic approach to your training that sets it apart from one-day courses. Here’s how:

• In-Depth Training:
  While one-day courses provide a practical overview of treatments, the Level 7 Diploma is designed to build your competence from the ground up. It equips you with not only the technical skills but also the confidence to perform injections independently.
• Bespoke Mentorship:
  Unlike the one-day courses, which leave you to practice on your own post-training, the Level 7 Diploma includes dedicated mentorship days. These sessions allow you to ask questions, discuss obstacles in real-time, and receive personalized guidance from expert trainers, ensuring you gain hands-on experience and tailored feedback.
• Confidence Building:
  The structured support and repeated practice opportunities within the Level 7 Diploma are aimed at gradually building your self-assurance. This methodical approach ensures that by the end of the course, you’re fully prepared to inject on your own, something that one-day courses may not fully achieve.

In summary, while one-day courses offer a brief, practical demonstration of treatments, the Level 7 Diploma provides a deeper, more supportive training environment that emphasizes both learning and confidence, ensuring you are truly ready to practice independently.
