A Game-Changer for the Beauty and Aesthetics Industry

The Launch of VTCT Level 7 Injectables
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the VTCT Level 7 Diploma in Injectables for Aesthetic Medicine – a revolutionary step forward for the aesthetics industry and aspiring professionals across the UK. This long-anticipated regulated qualification marks a significant milestone in professionalising aesthetics and offers a clear, credible, and safe learning pathway for learners from Level 2 all the way to Level 7.
What is the VTCT Level 7 in Injectables?
The new Level 7 Diploma in Injectables is a regulated and nationally recognised qualification that meets the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) standards and aligns with the latest government guidelines around non-surgical aesthetics. It’s designed to ensure that injectable treatments like Botulinum Toxin (Botox) and Dermal Fillers are delivered only by those who are trained, assessed, and qualified to the highest standards.
This is more than just a course—it's a formal recognition of aesthetic injectables as a serious clinical skill that requires regulated education, safe practice, and ethical standards.
Why This Is Big News for the Industry
For years, the aesthetics industry has operated in a grey area—open to underqualified providers, inconsistent training standards, and safety concerns. The launch of this Level 7 qualification sends a clear message: regulated, quality-assured training is the new standard.
For learners and professionals, it means:
-
Clear progression routes from Level 2–7
-
Increased client trust and confidence
-
Enhanced employability and professional status
-
Preparation for future regulation and licensing requirements
