FAQ

Our courses are designed for qualified healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, paramedics and other regulated health practitioners. Some courses — such as chemical peels, phlebotomy and Vitamin B12 & D injections — are open to advanced aestheticians and other allied health professionals.

Certain courses including botulinum toxin training require candidates to be prescribers or working under the supervision of a registered prescriber, in line with UK regulatory requirements. If you are unsure whether you qualify for a specific course, please contact us before booking and we will advise you accordingly.

Booking is simple. Contact us by email at contact@phptrainingacademy.com or call +44 (0)7917 785 695 to check availability and reserve your place. We will confirm your booking in writing and send you a pre-course preparation pack including theory materials to review before your training day.

Full payment is required to confirm your place. We accept payment by bank transfer and major credit or debit cards.

It depends on the course. Our Level 1 courses (Dermal Fillers Beginners, Botulinum Toxin Beginners, Mesotherapy, Chemical Peels, Phlebotomy, Vitamin B12 & D) are designed for practitioners with no prior experience in that specific treatment.

Our advanced and master class courses (Dermal Fillers Levels 2 & 3, Botulinum Toxin Levels 2 & 3, Lip Augmentation, Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty) require candidates to have completed the relevant Level 1 course with PHP Training Academy or to demonstrate equivalent clinical experience. Please contact us to discuss your background if you wish to join an advanced course directly.

We deliberately keep our group sessions small — a maximum of 6 delegates per course. This is a deliberate policy, not a guideline. Small group sizes ensure that every candidate receives individual attention, direct trainer feedback on their injection technique and sufficient hands-on time with live models.

We also offer fully private 1:1 personal tuition for candidates who prefer an entirely bespoke learning experience. 1:1 sessions include up to four live models per candidate.

Yes. All our courses are available as private one-to-one training sessions. In 1:1 sessions you will treat up to four live models throughout the day, receiving entirely personalised guidance and feedback from your trainer. 1:1 pricing is listed on the course pages and in our price list. Please contact us to arrange your preferred date.

All courses run from 09:00 to 17:00. The morning is dedicated to theory — reviewing clinical evidence, product knowledge, anatomy, injection techniques and safety — with demonstrations in which all candidates actively participate. The afternoon is entirely hands-on: each candidate leads at least one live model through the complete patient journey, including consultation, assessment, documentation, the procedure itself and post-procedure care.

Throughout the day all candidates receive comprehensive, constructive feedback on their technique, approach and methods from our expert trainers. No candidate is left without individual guidance.

Yes. All products used during the training are included and provided by PHP Training Academy at no additional cost. You will be introduced to a range of products and leading brands so you can learn about the differences available in the UK market and make informed choices for your own practice.

Yes. We provide live models for all hands-on sessions. Our models are carefully selected to present genuine concerns relevant to each course, ensuring you gain realistic, clinically meaningful practice. You will not be practising on mannequins or synthetic skin for the injection components of our courses.

Yes, it is possible to propose your own model, provided they meet our requirements. All proposed models must be over 21 years old and present real concerns relevant to the course in question. You must notify us at least ten days before the training date and provide photographs for our trainers to assess. Accepted models must register at synergybeautymed.co.uk prior to attending. Our trainers will confirm acceptance at least seven days before the training date.

All our courses are designed to maximise hands-on time. Theory is covered in the morning and tested via pre-course materials sent to you in advance, so the training day itself is weighted towards practice. In group sessions every candidate treats a minimum of one live model and observes their fellow delegates treating additional patients, providing valuable supplementary learning. In 1:1 sessions candidates treat up to four live models.

Yes. PHP Training Academy now operates two dedicated training rooms at 22 Harley Street. This means we can run two different courses in parallel on the same day — for example, Botulinum Toxin Level 1 in Room 1 while Dermal Fillers Beginners runs in Room 2. This allows practitioners to book complementary courses on consecutive days and complete multiple qualifications in a single visit to London. Please consult our training calendar or contact us to see which courses are running simultaneously on your preferred dates.

On successful completion of your course you will receive a PHP Training Academy Certificate of Completion. This is a CPD-accredited professional qualification that can be displayed on your website and clinic materials, presented to your indemnity insurer and referenced in your professional portfolio. It demonstrates to patients and colleagues that you have been trained to the high clinical standards PHP Training Academy is known for.

Yes. All PHP Training Academy courses carry CPD (Continuing Professional Development) accreditation. CPD hours are confirmed on your certificate. We recommend you retain your certificate and any pre-course and post-course materials as evidence of your CPD activity for your professional regulator.

In most cases yes — our CPD-accredited certificates are accepted by major UK aesthetic indemnity insurers. However, insurance eligibility is determined by your insurer based on your professional background, the course completed and your level of practice. We strongly recommend contacting your insurer before booking to confirm they will accept our certificate for the specific treatment you wish to add to your portfolio. We are happy to provide a course syllabus to your insurer upon request.

Our group course fees range from £300 + VAT (Chemical Peels, Phlebotomy, Vitamin B12 & D, Facial Anatomy) to £1,000 + VAT (Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Master Class). Most one-day clinical courses are £600 – £700 + VAT per delegate. 1:1 personal tuition ranges from £600 + VAT to £2,000 + VAT. Please see our full price list for a complete overview of all course fees.

No. All prices quoted on our website and in our course materials are exclusive of VAT. VAT at the prevailing UK rate will be added at the time of payment. Prices are reviewed periodically — please confirm the current fee when you contact us to book.

Full course payment is required at the time of booking to confirm your place. We do not hold places on a provisional basis. Please refer to our Cancellation & Refund Policy (available on each course page) for details on what happens if you need to cancel or reschedule.

We understand that circumstances change. Our cancellation policy is as follows:

• More than 14 days before the course date: full refund or free transfer to another date.
• 8–14 days before the course date: 50% refund or free transfer to another date.
• 7 days or fewer before the course date: no refund. Transfer to another date may be offered at our discretion.

Yes. If you give us more than 14 days’ notice, we will transfer your booking to another available date free of charge. Transfers with less than 14 days’ notice are subject to availability and may incur an administration fee. Please contact us as early as possible if you need to change your date.

We believe that support after training is just as important as the training itself. After completing any PHP Training Academy course you have access to:

• PHP Training Academy private Facebook group — ask questions, share cases and connect with fellow graduates and our trainers.
• Email support — Dr Philippe or one of our expert trainers will respond to clinical questions about topics covered in your course.
• Emergency telephone hotline — all graduates receive our emergency mobile number for urgent patient-related queries such as complication management.
• SoMUK clinical support — SoMUK members also have access to the SoMUK clinical team for ongoing mesotherapy-specific guidance.

Yes — all our courses dedicate significant time to complications management. This includes identifying danger zones, contraindications, aseptic technique, recognising early signs of complications and knowing how to respond effectively. For injectable courses you will specifically cover:

• Identifying and avoiding danger zones
• Managing complications related to HA fillers and botulinum toxin
• Patient concern management
• Understanding the risks and indications for Hyaluronidase (Hyalase®)
• Reconstituting, patch testing and administering Hyaluronidase in both emergency and elective situations

All courses take place at our purpose-built training facility at 22 Harley Street, Suite 8, Marylebone, London W1G 9PL — in the heart of London’s world-renowned medical district. We have two fully equipped training rooms running simultaneously, allowing two courses to be delivered on the same day.

All courses run from 09:00 to 17:00. We ask delegates to arrive by 08:45 to complete registration, settle in and be ready to start promptly at 09:00. Please allow extra time if you are travelling from outside London, particularly on weekday mornings.

Please bring:

• Photo ID and proof of your professional qualification (GMC, NMC, GPhC or equivalent registration number)
• Any pre-course theory materials you have been sent — reviewed and ready to discuss
• A notepad if you wish to take notes (course manual provided)
• Smart casual attire — you will be provided with PPE including gloves and apron for all practical sessions
