Access To Aesthetics Course In Colchester, Essex

Unlike our Access to Aesthetics Package 1, this package includes a full Level 3 qualification and enables you to progress straight through covering both Filler and Wrinkle Relaxing treatments, with no 6-month waiting period.

Online Learning

As part of the Access to Aesthetics Course, learners will be given access to their own online learning portal, allowing for a flexible and blended learning journey. This means the qualification included within the course—Focus Awards Level 3 Certificate in Entry to Aesthetic Therapies (RQF)—can be started immediately after enrolment, with full access to all modules and workbooks from day one.

Designed for at-home study, this qualification allows you to complete your written assignments at your own pace, offering the flexibility to fit learning around your schedule.

In addition, you’ll receive pre-course learning materials covering key treatments such as Dermaplaning, Microneedling, Chemical Peels, B12 Injections, Foundation Dermal Fillers, and Foundation Wrinkle Relaxing. These resources provide essential background knowledge to review and complete before your practical training days, all accessible through the same online portal.

Part 1: Level 3 Certificate in Entry to Aesthetic Therapies (RQF)

As part of the Access to Aesthetics Package, you will now receive a full Level 3 qualification—the Level 3 Certificate in Entry to Aesthetic Therapies (RQF). This nationally recognised qualification is designed to give you a solid foundation in skin health, anatomy, client care, and practical facial techniques—setting you up for success as you progress into more advanced aesthetic training, including injectables.

This qualification is included within your package and covers the following essential modules:

• Health & Safety in Aesthetic Practice – Learn how to maintain a safe, clean, and professional working environment.

• Client Care, Skin Analysis & Assessment – Understand how to assess skin types and conditions to recommend and deliver tailored treatments.

• Electrical Science for Aesthetic Practice – Discover how electrical devices and modalities are used to enhance skin treatments.

• Anatomy & Physiology – Gain in-depth knowledge of the skin, muscles, and body systems relevant to aesthetic procedures.

• Facial Skincare Treatments – Develop hands-on skills in professional facial treatments aimed at improving skin condition and appearance.

This flexible online course includes workbooks, video learning, and access to our interactive learning platform—allowing you to study at your own pace alongside your practical training.

Part 2: Dermaplaning, Chemical Peels & Microneedling

The next part of your training includes theory and practical sessions in Dermaplaning, Chemical Peels, and Microneedling. These popular treatments are a great introduction to aesthetics and typically come with fewer contraindications, helping you build confidence as you get started.

You’ll first complete the online theory for each treatment before attending the practical sessions. Each facial practical will typically last half a day, though they may not take place on consecutive days.

Part 3: Vitamin B12 Injections

This training will teach you how to safely and effectively deliver Vitamin B12 injections—an increasingly in-demand service for clients who need an energy or wellness boost. You’ll complete online learning first, followed by practical, in-person training at the academy.

Part 4: Foundation Filler & Wrinkle Relaxing

In the final stage of your training, you’ll cover Foundation Filler and Foundation Wrinkle Relaxing. These are the most advanced and exciting elements of your course.

You’ll begin with online theory, followed by two days of practical training in dermal fillers, covering areas such as the lips, cheeks, chin, and marionette lines. You’ll also complete one day of wrinkle relaxing practical, targeting areas like crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.

Both courses require six case studies. We aim to complete these during your practical days, but if needed, you’ll have the option to return to the academy or complete any remaining cases at home, depending on your confidence and competence.

Further Online Learning

To support your journey into aesthetics as a business owner, you’ll also complete 25 hours of online learning covering Social Media & Marketing, Employment Law, and How to Set Up Your Business. This final section will give you all the tools and knowledge needed to launch and grow a successful aesthetics business.
