Details about Skin Rejuvenation

What is the ISO17024:2012 Skin Rejuvenation scheme?

This IQ Verify scheme provides a competency based framework for healthcare and non healthcare professionals currently practicing/intending to practice in the skin rejuvenation field, assessing and verifying candidates knowledge, skills and competency against relevant guidelines, as well as the promotion and maintenance of client-centred and safe aesthetic practice.

The scheme meets:

The requirements of the internationally recognised accreditation standard ISO17024:2012, giving candidates internationally recognised certification.
The requirements of: Health Education England (HEE) Qualification Requirements for the Delivery of Cosmetic Procedures and Cosmetic Practice Standards Authority (CPSA) Skin Rejuvenation Guidelines.

Course Structure and Learning Outcomes

The scheme has been divided into four levels of certification (4-7) providing a progression framework for all candidates between Levels 4 and 7. Candidates, must be able to achieve the requirements of each level in order to progress and be certified against the next. This is because each level covers the necessary requirements to practice more advanced techniques and assessing competency at each level ensures safe practice and patient safety.

Centres approved to run this scheme are granted access to the learner management system, where learners are able to access their learning resources. Learners are required to complete both knowledge (through multiple choice examination) and practical assessments (evidencing case studies of completed treatments) to achieve each level of certification. Once moderated, successful candidates will achieve their certification. Learners are able to stop at their preferred level, however to ensure continued competence and to maintain their certification, will need to submit a log and undertake a shorter assessment every 3 year (at the level of certification they have achieved).

A summary of the scheme, topics covered and assessment process are outlined in our guidance document.
