Welcome to MAP-IQ!
MAP-IQ is a leading UK education, training and assessment centre for the non-surgical cosmetic practice sector. We offer regulated and accredited qualifications and continued professional development (CPD) courses for practitioners, together with a range of education, assessment and quality assurance qualifications for those seeking to progress into education and training provision within this dynamic and evolving sector.
The cosmetic practice amendment to the Health and Care Bill (2022) gives the health secretary powers to introduce a licensing scheme for all practitioners who offer non-surgical cosmetic procedures. The licensing scheme aims to introduce standardised education, training and qualifications for all practitioners regardless of professional background.
Ahead of the proposed mandatory licensing scheme for practitioners and the standards for education and training within the sector, MAP-IQs aim is to two-fold (1) to support practitioners to formally evidence competence in non-surgical cosmetic practice through the achievement of regulated and accredited qualifications and (2) to support practitioners involved in teaching, assessment and quality assurance within this evolving specialism to meet the required standards to teach, assess and quality assure on OFQUAL regulated qualifications.
All our qualifications are OFQUAL regulated which are recognised and valued both nationally and internationally.
