Introduction
A different standard of clinical skills training.
Aesthetic IQ was founded on a simple observation: too much clinical training teaches procedures without teaching judgement. We build practitioners who understand the anatomy beneath the needle, the governance around the treatment, and the conversation that must happen before either.
Our courses combine rigorous theory with extended supervised practical time, delivered in small groups so no one leaves having simply watched. From your first venepuncture to advanced full-face assessment, the progression is deliberate.
Read our story
The founder
Taught by someone still doing the work.
Aesthetic IQ is led by an NHS healthcare professional and experienced phlebotomist whose teaching is shaped by daily clinical reality rather than theory alone.
A passionate educator committed to high clinical standards, the founder's focus is on helping healthcare professionals develop practical, transferable skills — and the confidence to use them safely.
Training courses
Seven pathways, one standard.
Why choose Aesthetic IQ
Training you can defend in clinic, in audit, and in front of a patient.
Four commitments sit behind every Aesthetic IQ course. They are the reason our delegates leave able to practise, not simply certified.
NHS clinical experience
Every course is delivered by a practising NHS healthcare professional whose teaching is shaped by daily clinical reality, not a training-centre script.
CPD accredited training
Certificates carry recognised CPD hours, are accepted by UK employers and indemnity providers, and document assessed competency.
Hands-on practical learning
Cohorts are capped so the majority of every day is supervised practice — repetition with correction until technique is consistent.
Ongoing support
Post-course mentorship, insurance and product guidance, and a direct line to your trainer once you are back in practice.
Student testimonials
In their words.
I arrived having never held a needle and left able to draw blood confidently. The supervision was genuinely one to one.
The anatomy teaching was the best I have had anywhere. You leave understanding why you are injecting where you are injecting.
Small group, real models, and support afterwards when I set up my own clinic. That aftercare is what sets it apart.
