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.

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.

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.

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

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.
