Choosing a Level 7 aesthetics course starts with understanding the full training plan. At DRV London Academy in London, the Level 7 course focuses on botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, consultation and complications management. Before enrolling, compare the teaching, assessment and practical arrangements as carefully as the headline price.
What to check in the course outline
Ask admissions for the current syllabus and the exact qualification or certificate awarded. A course title alone does not explain its assessment requirements, practical hours or prerequisites. Request these details in writing so you can compare the programme with your existing experience and your learning goals.
The Level 7 course page is the starting point for the current offer. Ask how consultation, treatment planning, patient expectations, professional responsibilities and complications awareness are taught and assessed.
Understand the full study commitment
Days spent at the Academy may be only part of your training. Ask how much preparation, independent study, supervised practice and assessment is expected, and whether these activities take place before or after the taught sessions.
- Confirm the number and format of taught sessions.
- Ask how practical supervision and model allocation work.
- Check assessment methods, deadlines and resubmission arrangements.
- Confirm who will teach your cohort and what follow-up support is included.
- Request available dates and the expected completion timetable.
Check entry requirements before booking
Admissions should review your qualifications and relevant experience before recommending a route. Do not assume that being a medic, non-medic or beauty practitioner automatically makes you eligible. Explain your background and ask for confirmation of the prerequisites that apply to you.
If you need a different starting point, compare the Academy’s current Level 3–7 courses on the course prices page. Progression should follow the entry requirements for the individual course rather than a promise that every learner can move directly between levels.
Compare fees and what is included
Review the current advertised fee alongside a written breakdown of its inclusions. Ask whether assessment, certification, materials, model sessions and additional support are included. Check any extra costs and the enrolment and cancellation terms before paying.
Keep travel and accommodation separate in your budget unless admissions confirms they are included. A short advertised attendance period should not be taken as a promise about the total time needed to complete the programme.
Level 7 and the PDO option
The Academy also lists a separate Level 7 with PDO threads course. Compare the two outlines with admissions to understand the scope, prerequisites, practical allocation and fee inclusions of each. Choose the programme that matches your background and intended learning, rather than assuming the titles describe identical training.
Questions to ask admissions
What will I receive on successful completion? How will my prior experience be reviewed? What work is required outside the taught days? How is practical competence assessed? What support is available if I need more time? Clear answers make the course easier to plan and compare.
