Programme Structure

This PgCert in Non-Surgical Facial Aesthetics (NSFA) is designed to equip you with core clinical skills and competency in both Botulinum toxin (Botox) and dermal fillers, through a combination of clinical support and academic teaching.

On this programme, you will develop:

• Core knowledge, skills, and clinical competencies to assess, manage, and treat patients with non-surgical facial aesthetics procedures to a high standard, efficiently and safely.
• Ability to critically evaluate and demonstrate evidence-based practice.
• Knowledge and a critical awareness of current legislation and ethics in the field of Non-Surgical Facial Aesthetics.
• A systematic approach to risk management, underpinned by effective communication and record-keeping skills.

As a student, you will have the opportunity to observe qualified practitioners perform clinical skills and receive formative feedback on your developing clinical skills as you are mentored in ICE’s purpose-built facilities.

You are encouraged to become a lifelong, reflective learner, to make you futureproof with regards to regulations. You will use structured reflections on cases as part of your developing ePortfolio. The ePortfolio system on the course allows you to keep a record of your developing clinical skills and learning.
