Course Overview

Course Overview

Our one-day, CPD-accredited course in Botox ® and Dermal Fillers provides training in the key treatments that you will be expected to perform as an independent practitioner. Our innovative approach to competency-based training focuses on hands-on practical injecting on live models in a supportive and friendly environment.

The Foundation Course is the first step for any healthcare professional looking to move into the medical aesthetics industry. It can be taken as a stand-alone course, or as the initial stage of the OFQUAL-regulated Level 7 Certificate in Injectables. All Interface Aesthetics courses are delivered by doctors working in facial surgery and aesthetics, and our Foundation Course will introduce a competency-based approach to learning in medical aesthetics to ensure you feel confident to continue your training and practice after successful completion of this stage.

We believe that our Foundation Course provides unrivalled levels of patient contact and hands-on injecting over the day-long training. Our philosophy focuses on developing competency to perform Foundation techniques safely and effectively. Many Foundation Courses in Botox ® and Dermal Fillers involve teaching in large groups and consist in observing most, if not all, treatments without taking part and gaining hands-on exposure.

Such an approach to training in any field of healthcare would be judged wholly inadequate. If we consider learning how to take blood, or indeed how to extract a tooth, it becomes obvious that simply watching a procedure and then being expected to carry it out competently would be unacceptable to both our patients and to ourselves. With this in mind, Interface courses will have you assessing and injecting for the majority of your time, ensuring you get the learning opportunities you need to begin practising safely and confidently.

For delegates wishing to progress more rapidly, we offer the option of a combined Foundation & Advanced package, which when purchased provides a £100 discount overall. Such an approach will enable delegates to consolidate all their learning into a shorter period of time.
