What are the common pitfalls?
Why would I choose Cosmetic Institute of Australia (CIOA) course over another?
CIOA offers the most comprehensive and extensive syllabus covering all 4 pillars of aesthetic medicine.
1 Injections (namely neurotoxins and dermal fillers)
2 Lifts – Cosmetic Threads and HIFU/Radiofrequency
3 Skin care – including cosmetic dermatology, lasers, IPL and other skin devices and treatments
4 Other highly specialised treatments such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and hair regrowth
Our subsidiary Anatomy for Injectors is one of the best complete courses in injections.
What value-added service do I get when I do a CIOA course?
All the modules are interlinked.
We also provide mentoring by most senior practitioners.
How do you choose your trainers?
Our trainers must have experience and be working in the field. They must also be vetted by our educators.
If I attend a course, am I able to practice that same skill the very next day?
Because our modules require some prerequisite knowledge, this will ensure students to be prepared before attending a particular level of training.
We also have a low trainer to student ratio. In our workshops it is typically 1 trainer to 4–6 students with assistant trainers as well. Therefore, there is plenty of hands-on opportunity during our workshops which should leave you with enough confidence to practice that same skill independently the very next day.
Where are your courses held?
In Australia we are currently in Sydney and Melbourne.
Are you able to specially schedule a course if I have a group of 6 or more students?
Yes, we can cater for this. Please email us at info@cosmeticinstituteofaustralia.com.au to discuss further.
Do you offer certificates at the end of your course?
Yes, at the end of the course, you will be handed your certificate.
Can I get CPD points for attending your courses?
Yes, you may apply for it directly with your registering body upon completion of the course.
Are nurses allowed to practice any injectables or mono threads independently?
All injections and threads must be done under supervision of a doctor, as required by AHPRA.
Will I be issued with a certificate if I completed an online course successfully?
Yes, upon the successful completion of the online quiz, you will be able to print out your certification.
Do you provide mentorship following completion of a course?
Yes, this will be discussed at the end of each of our courses so that you have the confidence and support to kick start your new cosmetic skill immediately.
