Botox training courses must keep pace with the standards and regulations in the industry to ensure patient safety. In the anti-ageing market the injectable serum, Botulinum Toxin – more commonly known as Botox, has become one of the top procedures for the effective treatment of fine lines and wrinkles. Once the preserve of the rich and famous, this wonder-treatment now has a long track record of success and safety – making it a highly desirable procedure for a more youthful and healthy appearance.

Level 7 Qualification
A Level 7 Post-Graduate qualification is offered to qualified health professionals. The Certificate in the Principals and Practice of Clinical Injectible Therapies (Botulinum Toxin and dermal Fillers) is attained through completion of the Foundation and Advanced Level Botox Courses at MATA.
As this certificate is recognised by the National Qualification Framework by Ofqual it is awarded by the independent awarding body EduQual. Units from the qualifications are also available as stand-alone, accredited short courses, which means students can build credits whilst gaining training and experience in line with HEE guidelines and recommendations.
This certificate is a requirement by insurance companies and is therefore essential for any business practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Botox and Fillers training take?
Most units are between 10 and 30 guided learning hours – which includes your private study, hands-on practical sessions and time for written and Log Book Assessments.
- The smallest qualification size is 100 hours (containing four core units and one optional unit).
- The largest laser and light qualification is 200 hours (containing four core units and all six optional units).
Before you enrol, please ensure you can:
- Set aside time to study the learning materials and resources – some people may do this all in one go, others may want to fit it in around their work/life schedules
- Attend the one/two day clinical hands-on sessions (call us for dates and times)
- Complete the Log Book Assessment, either before or after the clinical hands-on sessions depending upon whether or not you are already in clinical practice.
The length of time it takes to complete your qualification depends very much upon your circumstances – if you already in clinical practice it may be quicker for you to complete the Log Book Assessment than if you don’t have access to therapy.
Most importantly, we want you to become part of the MATA learning community by sharing our forums and discussions as part of your life-long learning and development. MATA will support you at all stages of your learning and our course tutors will be happy to discuss how to get the most from your studies.
Can I build points towards another certificate?
Yes, as the course is modular, units from the qualifications are also available as stand-alone accredited short courses, offering learners the opportunity to build ‘credits’ whilst gaining valuable training and experience in safe practice of cosmetic therapies, in line with HEE guidelines and recommendations.
Who will conduct the Botox and Fillers training?
Your tutors and assessors are highly experienced medical experts with lots of tutoring experience. It will depend upon the session or module, and availability but you can be assured you will be getting the very best in tutoring at any of the centres we conduct our training in.
Is the qualification right for my practice?
Unfortunately there are no short cuts to the qualification for administering BOTOX®. The government outlines the regulations due to injectible procedures being semi-invasive and therefore not without risk. It is therefore essential that only those who have already received Level 6 qualifications in the medical sector can attain this next Level 7.
Will I need to bring my qualification certificates?
As part of the enrolment process you will be asked to complete your certification section. The Online learning portal can then be started. For the day sessions at our clinics we do require you to bring your professional body registration documents (eg. PIN, GMC, GDC) and a form of photo ID as proof of identity on the day of the course to enable you to participate in the practical section of the training.
How many people are in the tutoring sessions?
This will depend to some extent on the demand but not usually more than 12 delegates per session. We believe in small groups to aid learning and enjoyment of the module.
How much about the anatomy of the face is actually taught?
Facial anatomy is quite an in-depth training session as it is essential that delegates have a full understanding about the face: its skin, bone and muscle structure before moving on to the next stage of learning. We offer an optional dissection session using fresh-frozen cadaver material which further enables a good grasp on
What if I fail the assessment?
MATA ensures that all assessments are clearly explained to you, together with the criteria you must meet to pass each assessment. If you do not meet the pass criteria, your course tutor will give you feedback and guidance on how to improve your performance and options open to you to retake or complete further assessments.
To achieve the qualification, you must achieve the required pass mark or grade for each assessed component. MATA IQ centre policies explain our Assessment appeals and referrals procedures.
Can I build points towards another certificate?
Yes, as the course is modular, units from the qualifications are also available as stand-alone accredited short courses, offering learners the opportunity to build ‘credits’ whilst gaining valuable training and experience in safe practice of cosmetic therapies, in line with HEE guidelines and recommendations.
