The Foundation Course is the necessary first stage for all healthcare professions looking to move into the field of aesthetic medicine.

Our Foundation Course is a stand-alone, one-day, CPD accredited course, offering a higher number of guided learning hours and hands-on practical experience than any other training provider. It is also the first step of our Gold Standard Postgraduate Diploma in Aesthetic Injectable treatments; the VTCT Level 7 Diploma. The Foundation Course will train delegates to inject upper face botulinum toxin (the most commonly requested injectable treatment), as well as how to assess and treat the midface, lips and lower face folds using dermal fillers.
The method of teaching delivery is blended, meaning delegates can undertake pre-course learning via our pioneer platform E-Interface flexibly, while benefitting from unrivalled levels of hands-on injecting experience across the key injectable modalities of botulinum toxin & dermal filler. At Interface Aesthetics, we are proud to be unique in the independent training provider space, providing hands-on training that is led always and exclusively by clinicians with genuine expertise in their field. Whether it is our dually qualified founder and director, some the UK’s leading Nurse practitioners, or leading dentists and medics in the field of regenerative and aesthetic medicine, we place genuine, verifiable expertise at the core of our training offering. In-person training is exclusively in small groups, ensuring the greatest hands-on mentorship and experience for delegates, and you will have access to multiple training campuses across the UK to complete the practical component of the course.
Whether you are looking to work part-time of full-time in this rapidly growing field of practice, the Foundation Course is the first step on your journey. On completion of this course, delegates will obtain certification that enables them to obtain insurance that permits practice in accordance with GMC/GDC/NMC guidance. The Foundation techniques form the cornerstone of practice when starting out in aesthetic medicine; they are the most commonly requested injectable treatments by patients, making them key to supporting the growth of your practice and your further training. At Interface Aesthetics, we ensure that the key themes of facial assessment, consultation skills and complications management are comprehensively covered in every course, with hours of dedicated e-learning supported by expert-led face-to-face training as part of this starter course in aesthetics.
Online training is designed to reflect real-world practice, while detailed clinical case demonstrations support our in-person courses across our training portfolio. All Interface Aesthetics delegates gain access to this pioneer platform to support their pre- and post-course learning, while full access to all stages is available via subscription, ensuring you stay up to date via our monthly expert-led webinars and new clinical case additions.

Which Course is right for you?
The Interface Aesthetics Foundation Course is first-in-class as an initial training step into aesthetic medicine. You will gain unparalleled access to online resources and hands-on experience with real patients, always led by a Faculty of genuine experts.
Taking this course as an initial stage also offers maximum choice and flexibility if you are planning to undertake a more gradual move into the industry, in that it enables you to progress on to the Postgraduate Level 7 Diploma whenever you choose, with the cost being deducted from the overall Level 7 cost. On completion of this course, you will be able to obtain insurance and start practising immediately.
Aesthetic medicine is rapidly being seen as a specialty in its own right, and as such there is greater awareness of the need for comprehensive training and sustained mentorship over a longer period of time. One-day courses as an entry step still have their place, but as the speciality and UK aesthetic regulations evolve, there is a move towards the adoption of the academically accredited, OFQUAL-regulated and JCCP-approved Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Aesthetic Injectables by new and experienced injectors alike. This provides a Masters-level qualification, commonly taken over 12-18 months alongside other work commitments, and offers a degree of ‘future-proofing’ to your career in aesthetic medicine, with the Level 7 likely representing an educational standard within new UK government regulations.
Importantly, every individual healthcare professional will have their own objectives, needs and aspirations, and that is the beauty of undertaking postgraduate training in aesthetic medicine – you have total autonomy of your progress and career. We are proud to offer a complete menu of training options to meet each individuals needs, and our team of course advisors are ready to assist you with the next steps.
Eligibility
You must be a registered (GMC/GDC/NMC/HCPC) UK healthcare professional, or international equivalent, to enrol on the Foundation Course.
This is a beginner-level course, meaning that no previous experience in injectables is required to enrol.
The perfect blend of theory and hands-on practice, curated to ignite your passion for aesthetics.

I reached out to the team and was pleasantly surprised by their customer warm and friendly customer service team. They advised me of dates and availablity and then Ibooked an appointment. It's worth mentioning that Interface operate in a few locations- including London Bridge and it was this clinic that I selected.
Upon arrival, I was immediately struck by the down to earth nature of staff; whilst sitting in the waiting area I had assumed that everyone there was a patient..however discovered not long after that the gentleman having a friendly conversation with a patient was actually a staff member. This meant a lot to me as I can become anxious in overly formalised environments.
Having said that, it's important to note that the clinic is by no means sub par or unprofessional..there's a fine line and the staff whilst being easy to speak to, remained highly knowledgeable and professional.
Shortly after, Dr Youssra introduced herself. I was surprised at just how calm her nature was. I'm a believer in energies and auras. All I can describe hers as, is trustworthy. You just 'know' you're in good hands. She made me feel very welcome before discussing in detail my areas of concern and what she thought we would start off with. She asked me of my thoughts which shows respect for customers wishes. Perhaps the biggest surprise was that she was not trying/forcefully selling me additional treatments. When I was having the procedure, she explained exactly what she was doing and what this would achieve. But what surprised me, was when she advised that I have a look at the result and consider whether I still wanted the additional procedure. When I looked in the mirror, it was evident that I didn't need the additional area treated. The reason for this is, that she is at the top of her game- she meticulouslyexamines where filler needs to be placed for perfect harmony. However, confession, she could have *very easily* convinced me otherwise and I would have spent more. To me, her not forcing me to spend additional amounts, is a testament to how seriously she takes her craft- and my goodness she knows her craft.It also affirms how important her customers are. You're a person and she makes sure she respects the face you've trusted her with. Because she is exceptional at what she does, I paid less for a far better result (as previously said, she knows where to place filler meticulously, which impacts other muscles.)
Since returning, everyone I have encountered has commented on how great I look- and they can't quite put their finger on it- which is what I wanted. She understood this and did exactly what worked for my face.
Dr Youssra, is not merely a professional at the top of her gane, but also an artist, who has mastered her craft..who knows exactly what to do to enhance one's features..I don't look like a replacement, or as though my face is about to explode, but rather, a refined version of myself. Honestly, could not be more grateful for finding such a fantastic team.
Get yourself booked in. You won't regret it. I cannot wait to return.
The hands on experience was even greater. I didn't expect to do that many injections on the day on that many models. I loved that we did a variety of injections that covered all types of toxin and fillers. The small number of trainees gave time to the trainers to give invaluable advice on our technique.
Would really love to thank them for the support they showed before and during the course.
Update from May 2025: Since the above comments, I have attended 2 more courses with Interface and started my level 7 PG Diploma though them as well. Great as always. Dr Yousrah is an excellent and very experienced mentor who gave invaluable advice.
