12 Logged Practical Procedures: Competence must be systematically demonstrated across a minimum of 12 fully observed treatments before the practical modules can be awarded.
-
Anatomical Depth Training: Practical assessments are split evenly, requiring 6 independent microneedling procedures (3 targeting the face and 3 targeting the body) alongside 6 structured chemical peel applications.
​
-
Contemporaneous Portfolios: Every live treatment requires a signed-off assessor report, pre- and post-treatment visual media, and an EQA-ready candidate reflection log.
