Benefits of completing a Level 7 in Injectable Medicine
Future proof your career
No UK regulation means anyone can practise aesthetic injectable treatments. However, the case for restricting them to appropriately qualified medical professionals, governed by regulation is evolving. Level 7 is seen as one way to be prepared for regulation if/when it comes
Verifiable competence
The Level 7 framework has rigorous and varied assessment methods to allow you to prove your competence to patients, peers and governing bodies for carrying out injectable treatments.
Mentorship for confidence
Students carry out 40 patient cases under our mentorship programme to ensure you have plenty of opportunity to practise when you’ve learned to build confidence and deliver outstanding treatment results for patients.
Be better than the competition
Once you obtain your Level 7, it gives you highly credible point of differentiation to use on your website and social media to help you stand out against, often poorly trained, unregistered non-medical practitioners
Externally accredited qualification
This is the first externally accredited vocational Level 7 qualification on the market in the UK meaning it meets regulated standards set by OfQual to give you confidence in the quality of the course programme.
Be the best you can be!
The Level 7 for Injectables is all about improving the standards of practice in the marketplace. You’ll learn how to be a better, safer more skilled injector which is great for your business and your patients.
Join a professional aesthetics register

Aimed at small business owners
As a vocational qualification, it’s designed for people who run startup and small clinics. Unlike a university PgCert, the IQ Level 7 certificate has a tight scope on injectables and a practical focus on hands-on learning
