How long does each course last?
Each course lasts a full day from 9am to 5pm. Lunch and refreshments will be served.
Will I be able to start practising the skills I learnt immediately?
Yes, we will guide you on how to obtain insurance, and how to immediately integrate your new skills into your practice, or on how to find and approach cosmetic clinics.
What will I learn on these courses?
Please see the individual syllabus for each course. All courses include the basic anatomy and physiology, the pharmacology of the agent used, patient consultation skills, application and possible pitfalls and complications. You will receive very closely supervised hands-on training and practice on a model.
What do I require to obtain a certificate that will allow me to be indemnified with a defence union?
You would need to have attended the course, participated in full, practised the technique on a model, successfully complete the short assessment at the end of the course and pay the course fee in full.
Can I bring my own model?
Yes, you can do so at no extra cost. However, we do encourage you to contact us beforehand to ensure that the model is an adequate candidate for the procedures. If you do decide to bring your own model, it is then your responsibility to ensure she is present on the day.
To be a model, the patient must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, have active infection at the sites to be treated, not be allergic to any of the products we are going to use, and not be on anti-coagulant medication. Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We encourage attendees to bring their own models or you can be a model yourself at no extra cost.
Who can attend AOAE courses?
The courses can be attended only by doctors (fully GMC registered), dentists (GDC registered) and registered nurses (NMC registered). Upon application to our courses, we will ask for your registration numbers to verify this.
I am a foreign doctor practising overseas and would like to attend one of your courses. Am I eligible?
You are eligible to attend AOAE training courses if you prove registration with the medical council in your country. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that in your country you will be allowed to use the certificate provided by AOAE to obtain professional indemnity and subsequently practise these skills.
I've trained in these courses a while ago, and would like to revise the theory. Can you help me with this?
If you've done your training courses with AOAE and would like to attend the courses again as a refresher course, you are more than welcome to do so. Refresher courses cost £180. However, you do not get to practice on models. Should you like to practice on models, kindly contact us and it will be discussed further.
I’ve done my basic training courses with another training school. Will I be able to attend the advanced training courses at AOAE?
Yes, you will. You would need to provide us with your foundation training certificates.
How long after the foundation courses can I attend the advanced courses?
After six months of administering these treatments.
How soon can I get started after the course?
We will give you all the necessary information and guidance to start practising your new skills immediately. Our courses comprehensively cover all aspects of the practise, including obtaining insurance, marketing skills, optimising your CV, etc. All necessary adjuncts to the technical and clinical skills we introduce you too.
Would it be possible to shadow a trainer or aesthetic practitioner after the course?
Yes, this would be possible. However, limitation due to travel may occur, AOAE will be happy to source a practitioner in your area and ask for a shadowing possibility on your behalf.
Does AOAE help us find clinics to practise in after the courses?
Yes, while at the moment AOAE doesn't offer a recruitment service per se, with consent of the individual delegates, we would be more than happy to work together to source employment and help you find a clinic or other similar establishment to employ your newly learned skills.
Do I need insurance to begin to practise? If so, how do I obtain that insurance?
Yes, insurance is a definite must. We will happily advise you during the course on how to obtain insurance. Insurance cannot be obtained without a certificate from an accredited training academy.
Do I receive support and contact after having attended the courses?
Yes, AOAE will always be at the other end of a phone call or email, ready to help with any questions you might have regarding clinical or business matters (calls taken Monday to Friday within working hours).
