About this course

Why train with Nuovo

Medic-led. Hands-on. In a real clinic.

Taught by medics in a CQC registered clinic

Every session is led by experienced medical professionals, inside a clinic regulated by the Care Quality Commission, not a training room.

Hands-on from the start

Some academies offer limited practical experience. We believe in a hands-on approach, with supervised practice built into the programme.

Leave genuinely confident

You finish with real confidence in product knowledge, facial anatomy and, above all, actually injecting.

Cannula experience included

You gain cannula experience as part of your training, alongside needle techniques.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How long does the programme take?

The Academy aims to support completion in around 6 to 12 months from your agreed start. This is a planning target rather than a fixed end date: progress depends on your study time, submissions, attendance and access to suitable practical cases. A fast-track timetable is available where capacity and readiness allow.

Who awards the qualification?

ProQual, a regulated awarding body. Nuovo Clinic Academy delivers, assesses and internally verifies the programme; ProQual externally quality assures it. The Academy registers you with ProQual and confirms your learner number.

How much practical training is there?

A lot. We believe in a hands-on approach: supervised practical learning is built into the programme and you gain cannula experience as well as needle techniques. Practical treatment opportunities depend on clinical suitability, model consent, supervision and the approved assessment plan.

How is the course assessed?

You must meet every learning outcome and assessment criterion and provide an authenticated portfolio of evidence. Passing is based on competence across the full qualification, not attendance alone.

What are the entry requirements?

You must be at least 18 at registration and meet the current qualification entry requirements, which we confirm at an initial assessment of Level 7 readiness along with your identity and documents. Previous learning can be reviewed through recognition of prior learning, although it does not automatically remove assessment requirements.

How do I pay?

Course fees and payment options are explained when you enquire. You can pay in full, use an Academy instalment plan or apply for external finance (subject to approval). Nothing is paid online.

Can I visit before I apply?

Yes. Enquire using the form and we will arrange a call or a visit to the clinic so you can see where you would train and meet the team.
