Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need previous experience to take CPD aesthetics courses?
Requirements vary by course level. Many of our foundation CPD courses require Level 2 or Level 3 Beauty Therapy qualification or equivalent experience. Medical professionals (nurses, doctors, dentists) may have different pathways into aesthetics training. If you're unsure whether your existing qualifications meet requirements, contact us with details of your previous training and we'll advise on eligibility and recommend the best starting point for your CPD aesthetics education.
How long do CPD aesthetics courses take to complete?
Course duration varies from 1-3 days depending on the specific treatment and level. Some courses include pre-course online learning modules followed by intensive practical training days at our Ladbroke Grove academy. We offer flexible scheduling with weekend courses, evening sessions, and intensive training days to accommodate existing work commitments. All hands-on practical training takes place at our London facility with small class sizes (maximum 4-6 students) ensuring personalised attention.

Course fees include full CPD-accredited certification, comprehensive training manual and materials, hands-on practice with live models, professional product starter kits (on selected courses), ongoing clinical support after qualification, insurance-recognised qualification certificate, and access to practitioner resources and community.
What happens after I complete my CPD course?

We provide ongoing clinical support and mentorship as you build your practice, access to our practitioner community for networking and advice, guidance on obtaining aesthetics insurance, recommendations for equipment and product suppliers, and information on advanced training and progression pathways. Our support doesn't end when your course finishes - we're committed to your long-term success in aesthetics
What does CPD accredited mean for aesthetics courses?
CPD (Continuing Professional Development) accreditation means the course has been independently assessed and verified to meet quality standards for professional education. CPD certification is recognised across the aesthetics industry and is often required for insurance providers and professional registration.
