RPEL FASTRACK ROUTE TO QUALIFICATION
In March 2022 the UK government announced its intention introduce a licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures. The recent amendment to Health and Care Bill will give the health secretary powers to introduce a licensing scheme for all practitioners who offer non-surgical cosmetic procedures. The licensing scheme aims to introduce a range of standards including standardised education and training for all practitioners regardless of professional background.
RECOGNITION OF PRIOR EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING (RPEL):
MAP-IQ ‘s aim is to support experienced aesthetic practitioners to achieve a regulated qualification through an RPEL assessment route.
