Both are valid and excellent qualifications. The difference lies in their structure and future-proofing. Accredited courses (our CPD Aesthetics range) are industry-recognised qualifications you can use immediately to practise and get insured in England today. They're current best practice for the UK market. Regulated Ofqual courses (Levels 2-7) are government-regulated qualifications. Aesthetic regulation is already in place in Scotland, and we're offering these now so you're prepared if/when regulation comes to England. You'll have a qualification that's future-proof, regardless of regulatory changes. Accredited suits existing therapists upskilling quickly. Regulated suits those wanting the gold-standard qualification or preparing for future regulation.
