Question 1

How much does a facial aesthetics course cost in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Across the 6 verified facial aesthetics courses listed here, published fees run from £899 to £7,140. Shorter hands-on courses sit at the lower end; university-validated diplomas and master's programmes sit at the top. Some providers only quote on enquiry, and those are shown as "fee on enquiry" rather than a guess.

Question 2

Do these courses count as GDC verifiable CPD hours?

Accepted Answer

None of these providers publish a verifiable CPD hour count, so the field is left blank rather than estimated. Ask the provider to confirm hours, aims and learning outcomes before you book if you need the course to count towards your GDC cycle.

Question 3

Can I study facial aesthetics online?

Accepted Answer

Not in this group — every one of these facial aesthetics courses is taught in person, because the practical element needs models, phantom heads or supervised patient cases. Try the online section of a related subject if travel is the problem.

Question 4

How long do these courses take?

Accepted Answer

It varies by format: 2 days, hands-on; 2 days (14 hours verifiable CPD); 1 day, hands-on. One-day courses are the quickest route to verifiable hours, while certificates, diplomas and master's programmes run from several months to a few years part time.

Question 5

Where do these courses run, and when do they start?

Accepted Answer

Teaching locations include Reading. 5 of these courses have published start dates, listed on each course page. Popular hands-on courses fill months ahead, so check dates before you plan study leave.
