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.
