Anatomy & Physiology Course

 

Anatomy & Physiology Home Study Course

​​

An Essential Foundation for Any Aesthetics Training Programme

​

At our academy, Anatomy & Physiology is not treated as a tick-box requirement — it is the clinical backbone of our Beginner Aesthetics Course and a core pillar of safe, ethical, and competent aesthetic practice.

This CPD-approved course, commensurate with Level 3 standards, has been purposefully integrated into our beginner pathway to ensure all learners develop the anatomical understanding required before progressing to injectable and advanced aesthetic treatments.

​​​​

Why Anatomy & Physiology Is Fundamental to Beginner Aesthetics​

Aesthetic treatments are not cosmetic procedures alone — they are anatomical-adjacent interventions that demand a thorough understanding of:

• Facial and systemic anatomy

• Skin structure and function

• Vascular and nerve pathways

• Healing, inflammation, and tissue response

• Risk identification and complication prevention

 

For this reason, successful completion of our Anatomy & Physiology course forms a mandatory knowledge foundation within our Beginner Aesthetics Programme.

It ensures every learner — regardless of background or previous training — begins their practical aesthetic education from a position of clinical competence, strength and confidence.

​

Course Format & Learning Structure

The course is delivered via flexible, self-paced home study with your full colour, illustrated book, allowing learners to build essential knowledge before or alongside their aesthetic training or, in the case of those previously qualified, to reinforce and strengthen their anatomical knowledge.

​

• Approximately 60 hours of guided independent home-study

• Take advantage of our Student Community WhatsApp Support Tool.

• A professionally designed, full-colour illustrated Anatomy & Physiology manual

• A dedicated Q&A assessment workbook aligned to aesthetic practice

• Content written to bridge academic anatomy with real-world clinical application

 

This structured format allows learners to absorb complex anatomical concepts at their own pace, ensuring they are fully prepared for hands-on aesthetic education.

 

Assessment & Professional Standards

Learners are assessed through a structured question and answer workbook, requiring a pass mark of 85%.

​

• Designed to test understanding and applied knowledge, not memorisation

• Encourages meaningful learning through an open-book assessment format

• Reflects the academic and clinical standards expected within modern aesthetics

 

The high pass threshold mirrors the expectations placed on practitioners performing aesthetic treatments and reinforces our academy’s commitment to patient safety and professional accountability.

​

Who This Course Is Designed For?

This course has been carefully structured to ensure suitability for:

• Learners enrolling on our Beginner Aesthetics Course who need a solid anatomical foundation

• Individuals entering aesthetics from beauty, fitness, or non-medical backgrounds

• Practitioners who have previously trained elsewhere and wish to strengthen or revisit their Anatomy & Physiology knowledge before progressing.

• Healthcare professionals transitioning into aesthetics

 

By embedding Anatomy & Physiology into our beginner pathway, we ensure consistent standards across all learners, regardless of experience or prior education.

 

A Gold-Standard Start to an Aesthetic Career

Our Aesthetics Courses are built on the principle that safe practice starts with understanding.

Anatomy & Physiology underpins every injection, every treatment plan, and every decision.

This home study course ensures both learners & established practitioners do not simply learn how to perform treatments — but understand why, where, and when they can be performed safely and provide optimal results for every client.

It is this depth of knowledge that separates competent practitioners from technicians — and forms the foundation of a sustainable, ethical, and respected career in professional aesthetics.
