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.
The Foundation Training will ground you in best practices that you will keep throughout your life as an aesthetics practitioner. The training covers the basics of injectable treatments for facial aesthetic rejuvenation, including the most popular treatments on the market today.
Your introduction to the Level 7 Diploma course is designed to help you make the most of your course. Our Student Support Team will walk you through the journey you are about to take on the Level 7 course, and a Harley Academy clinical trainer will provide key insights into how to interact and network with our Community

You will receive a starter pack containing 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
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.
At your Observation Days, you will shadow our expert cosmetic practitioners in our Academy Clinic to watch live injectable treatments.
During your Observation Days you will watch a variety of injection techniques first hand and receive live instruction. Being in a small teaching group, you will have the time and space to have your questions answered.
Your 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 Sessions
Mentoring is a central part of the 2016 government training recommendations for delivery of cosmetic procedures. The Harley Academy Level 7 Certificate and our associated mentoring scheme is designed to ensure that you meet these guidelines.
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, and 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 key treatments.
• 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 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.

Ethics and law in Aesthetic Medicine. Good medical practice is essential for a long-term career in aesthetics. Gain an understanding of how to protect yourself and your patients legally and ethically.
Cosmetic Psychology. Recognising healthy and unhealthy psychological drives is crucial for good practice in aesthetic medicine. Understand the signs of body dysmorphia and how to deal with patients who may need to be refused treatment.
