About this course

The ProQual Level 7 Diploma in Aesthetic Practice provides a nationally recognised qualification for those working in the beauty industry, and who wish to develop and demonstrate their competence at the highest level of aesthetic practice, including the use of dermal fillers and botulinum treatments.

  • To develop an understanding of aesthetic consultation and individualised treatments.
  • To develop competence in providing aesthetic consultation, dermal fillers and botulinum treatments.

 Having a nationally recognised qualification in injectable aesthetic practice is being welcomed by thousands of aesthetic practitioners who have previously undergone the training route that has only enabled them to receive an acknowledgment of attending a course. 

Aesthetic practice is a very comprehensive and complex area and anyone offering aesthetic treatments should be suitably qualified to do so, through a nationally recognised qualification, that sets demanding and high standards of education.

Moreover, a Level 7 qualification will foster a much bigger investment in terms of both time and money, and offer far more in return: more education, more experience, more supervision, more observation, more theory, bigger investment, solid understanding and demonstration of high, safe, ethical, aesthetic treatments – more reassuring to students and the public.

A Level 7 qualification provides a specialist work-related programme of study that provides breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding, along with practical skills required in the aesthetics sector and to meet a set of standards recommended in the Health Education England’s (HEE) 2015 ‘Qualification Requirements for Delivery of Cosmetic Procedures’. The awarding body for this qualification is ProQual AB.
