Student reviews
What our students say
After being dissatisfied with an aesthetic course that I had taken with another provider, I was advised to contact Centre for Medical Sciences & Research and they have been great! All information is delivered by medical professionals. The delegate numbers are kept to minimum per course too... If you are looking for the real deal in medical aesthetic training, you have come to the right place.
Honestly, I can’t be any happier to find this medical school in London. I have been searching for those types of school for aesthetics, but I didn’t find any of them as good. They make sure the classes are in small groups and each student will be able to actually work on them.
I’ve never completed a course like this before and I cannot express how great was. I would definitely recommend this to medic and non-medic students who want to start aesthetics. I will be looking into taking more of these classes.

Questions
Dermal fillers training: questions before you book
What is the difference between the two options?
The Discovery Session is the morning: theory, the Skills Studio and a live demonstration. The Complete Course Day is the whole day: the same morning, then treating live models under supervision in the afternoon, and your Certificate of Completion.
Will I treat anyone in the Discovery Session?
No. You practise technique on practice pads and mannequin heads and watch your trainer treat a live model. Treating models happens in the afternoon.
Who can book the Discovery Session?
Everyone aged 18 or over, with no experience needed. It is the best way to find out if aesthetics is for you.
Who can book the Complete Course Day?
Registered medical professionals, or non-medics with Level 3 Beauty Therapy and/or Level 4 Anatomy and Physiology and a previous injectables certificate. After you book, the office asks for a copy of your certificates. Not sure you qualify? Call 020 8050 4353 before you book.
I am enjoying the morning. Can I stay for the afternoon?
Yes. You can upgrade to the Complete Course Day on the day, subject to availability and if you meet the entry requirements. Tell your trainer at lunch.
What if none of the dates suit me?
Choose “Flexible date” in the date list. You book and pay now, and the office contacts you to arrange a suitable training date.
Do I need to bring models?
No. We supply live models for the afternoon. You can bring your own if you tell us in advance.
Which areas will I treat?
Lips, nasolabial folds and the area around the mouth.
I have Level 3 Beauty Therapy but no injectables certificate yet. Can I book?
You can book the Discovery Session now. For the Complete Course Day you first need a certificate or qualification in injectables, which we check before confirming your place. Call 020 8050 4353 and we will tell you the quickest route.
Which days does the course run?
Dermal filler training days are held at weekends.
Can I get insurance after the course, and is there a discount?
We partner with Insync Insurance to help you arrange insurance for the treatments you train in. Enquire through our dedicated Insync Insurance link to access the special insurance deal available to Centre for Medical Sciences & Research learners. Cover and pricing are subject to your qualifications, the treatments you wish to insure and Insync’s acceptance criteria, so completing a course does not by itself guarantee cover. The Complete Course Day gives a Certificate of Completion; the Discovery Session certificate is attendance only and is not training to treat. Get an insurance quote with our partner discount
Is the online theory included, and when do I get it?
Yes, with both options: the dermal fillers course, with three months of access. Your booking confirmation email explains how to log in.
What certificate do I get?
The Discovery Session gives a Certificate of Attendance. The Complete Course Day gives a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion with no expiry; the Complete Course Day carries 16 CPD hours.
How do I pay, and can I spread the cost?
Online by card, or choose Klarna or PayPal at checkout to spread the cost. You can also pay by bank transfer, or by cash or card at the School.
Do discount codes work on both?
Codes apply to the Complete Course Day and are applied automatically at checkout. The Discovery Session has a fixed price.
Can I book for a member of my team?
Yes. Book the place in their name, or call 020 8050 4353 to book several people, pay by bank transfer or arrange a closed session. The entry requirement applies to the person attending.
Where are you, and when are you open?
208 Upper Richmond Road, Putney, London SW15 6TD, one minute from Putney rail station and five minutes from East Putney (District line). The office is open 10am to 5pm, seven days a week, on 020 8050 4353.
