FOUNDATION & INDUCTION

You’ll begin in-clinic training on your Level 7 Induction. This is a half-day where you will complete your Foundation Training and learn essential information about how the Level 7 Diploma is run.

Our Foundation Training will ground you in best practices that you will use throughout your career as an aesthetics practitioner. The training covers the essential practice and theory of injectable treatments for facial aesthetic rejuvenation, including key needle techniques.

Your introduction to the Level 7 Diploma is designed to help you make the most of the course. Our student support team will walk you through the journey you are about to take on the Level 7 qualification, and a Harley Academy clinical trainer will provide key insights into how to interact and network with our community.

When you complete your Level 7 Diploma Induction, you’ll receive your Harley Academy Foundation Training Certificate. This certificate enables you to gain insurance to practice injectable treatments. You will receive a starter pack with all the consumables you need to treat your first patients, as well as our Best Practice Guide, which answers all the tricky questions regarding prescribing, insurance and data protection.

OBSERVATION DAYS

Observing treatments is a crucial part of the training requirements outlined in the 2016 HEE Guidelines. On our Level 7 qualification, you will have two full Observation Days to ensure you are able to record the 20 observed injectable treatments necessary for your case logbook.

At your Observation Days, a Harley Academy clinical trainer will perform live injectable treatment demonstrations. You will watch your trainer carry out a variety of injection techniques and provide live instruction throughout. In groups of no more than 10 students, you will have the time and space to have all your questions answered.

Observation Days cover the full patient treatment cycle, covering consultation, treatment planning, injecting, aftercare and post-treatment advice. In completing your Observation Days, you will have the awareness and knowledge to further build upon your practical skills during your supervised Mentoring Sessions.

MENTORING SESSIONS

Mentoring is a central part of the 2016 government training recommendations for delivery of cosmetic procedures. As part of the Level 7 Diploma, you will carry out at least 20 supervised injectable treatments on your mentoring sessions for your case logbook.

Your Mentoring Sessions are the best way to gain hands-on practical skills and experience in aesthetic injectables. The sessions are a bespoke 1:1 learning experience to enable you to rapidly improve your fine motor abilities and client consultation skills.

You will see a minimum of 4 patients over each session and can attend as many times as required to fulfil your logbook requirements. Your sessions will help you:

  • Rapidly improve your technique with tips and feedback from your mentor, focused on your particular strengths and learning needs.
  • Learn an array of injection techniques by practising them first hand on a live patient.
  • Practise mixing the correct dosage for a range of indications of varying intensity covering both botox and dermal fillers, depending on your session.
  • Build your ability to adapt to your patient. By actively learning in a working clinic, you’ll see patients from every walk of life, of all ages, genders and ethnicities.
  • Grow your confidence by working with different Harley Academy clinical trainers who will be able to give you unique perspectives and inspire you in new ways.
  • Perform the full treatment of a live patient, including consultation, treatment planning, injecting, aftercare and post-treatment advice.
