There are some courses which just cover the basics while other provides you with a comprehensive knowledge and practical hands-on experience. Therefore, you should check the curriculum content of the offered course to see what it covers, precisely.

A good course should do a follow-up and provide guidance to the trainees after the course on how to kick-start their aesthetic practices. For instance, trainees should be given guidance on how to partner with recruitment agencies, get indemnity coverage, create their CVs and find work or set up their own practice.

4.      Information about products to use and start-up kits: You need different products to inject during the training sessions. These are either arranged by the institute or trainees bring in their own products. A good course will teach you about the best products to use for a particular facial area and after course completion, you will also be provided with a start-up products kit to help you instantly start your practice in real-life.
