Who Qualify is for

Who Can Join the Qualify Pathway?

Start from your experience.

Applicants must be aged 18 or over for the diploma stages. Eclipse reviews your existing qualifications, experience and suitability before confirming where you can enter.

01

New to regulated training

No previous beauty or aesthetics qualification is required for Eclipse’s Level 4 pathway. The included Level 3 skincare unit supports direct entry, subject to initial assessment and acceptance.

02

Practitioners progressing

An appropriate Ofqual-regulated Level 4 qualification, or equivalent, and a current qualifying First Aid or BLS qualification are required for Level 5. Previous CPD training can be reviewed, but does not automatically replace regulated entry requirements.

03

Experienced practitioners

Level 7 has specific entry routes through ProQual Level 5 or Level 6, or equivalent, with additional qualification and first-aid requirements; fully qualified registered nurses or doctors have a separate entry route. Eclipse must confirm eligibility.

How Qualify works

Your Route Through Regulated Training

Learn. Demonstrate. Progress.

Theory is delivered through Google Classroom, alongside independent study, academy training where required, portfolio development and formal practical assessment. Progression depends on successful achievement and meeting the next stage’s entry requirements.

01

Review your starting point

Eclipse reviews your qualifications, experience and existing evidence. Recognition of Prior Learning may be considered where appropriate; it does not remove the requirement to meet the full assessment criteria.

02

Complete Level 4

Develop underpinning skin knowledge and practical competence in facial skincare, microneedling and superficial chemical peels. Complete eight units: five mandatory and the three selected optional units. Attend required training and two dedicated assessment days; selected learners may also need an external quality assurance day.

03

Progress to Level 5

Complete five mandatory units covering infection prevention, professional practice, advanced anatomy and physiology, microneedling and chemical peels. Build knowledge and practical evidence, including face and body microneedling. Eclipse reviews whether additional treatment training is needed.

04

Work towards Level 7

Develop advanced facial consultation, psychological understanding, ethics, botulinum toxin, temporary dermal fillers and complication management. Build a portfolio and demonstrate practical competence through formal assessment, including needle and cannula filler techniques.

Practical competency

Practical Training and Assessment

Evidence of what you can do.

These qualifications require demonstrated competency rather than attendance alone. Your assessor guides you through practical evidence, treatment planning and the assessment requirements for each stage.

01Level 4: required facial skincare, microneedling and superficial chemical peel training, followed by two academy assessment days.
02Level 5: assessed microneedling and chemical peel treatments; extra training is reviewed individually, with one training day per treatment available where required.
03Level 7: consultation competency observed at least ten times, including at least five botulinum toxin and five temporary dermal filler treatments. Filler competency includes at least six needle and four cannula observations; these are evidence requirements, not a promised model count.
04Ideally arrange suitable models for practical assessments. If you have difficulty, contact Eclipse for help where possible. BLS assessment includes CPR at floor level.

Progression options

Plan Your Qualification Progression

Your experience shapes the route.

The core pathway progresses through Levels 4, 5 and 7. Each stage must be achieved and the next stage’s entry requirements confirmed; prior experience does not guarantee exemption.

01 · Level 4 to Level 5

Build on skin foundations

The Qualifi Level 4 Diploma provides a progression route towards ProQual Level 5, with entry qualifications and current First Aid or BLS reviewed by Eclipse.

02 · Optional Level 6

Optional further study

An optional Level 6 qualification covers advanced treatments including skin boosters and fat dissolving. It is an additional qualification, not an essential stage. Ask Eclipse about suitability and fees before adding it to your programme.

03 · Towards Level 7

Advanced injectable practice

Level 5 provides a progression route towards Level 7. Additional qualification and first-aid requirements apply, so Eclipse must review your eligibility before enrolment.

Qualify FAQs

Qualify Pathway Questions

Understand your next step.
What does the Qualify Pathway include?

Qualifi Level 4 Diploma in Aesthetic Procedures for Skin Rejuvenation, ProQual Level 5 Diploma in Aesthetic Practice and ProQual Level 7 Diploma in Aesthetic Practice, with the Qualifi Level 3 Award in Basic Life Support and Management of Anaphylaxis in Clinical Practice included at no additional cost. Each qualification requires successful completion of its own assessments.

How much is the complete pathway?

The complete Qualify Pathway costs £10,000. Contact Eclipse to confirm your programme arrangements before enrolling.

Can I start without a beauty qualification?

Yes, through Eclipse’s Level 4 pathway, which includes the Level 3 Skincare to Support Aesthetic Procedures unit. Diploma applicants must be aged 18 or over and complete an initial assessment. This does not mean direct entry to Level 5 or Level 7 without meeting their requirements.

What do I need for Level 5?

An Ofqual-regulated Level 4 Certificate or Diploma in Aesthetic Practice, or an equivalent qualification, a current qualifying First Aid or Basic Life Support qualification, and age 18 or over. Eclipse reviews your qualifications before enrolment.

Can I enter Level 7 directly?

Level 7 has an entry route through ProQual Level 5 or Level 6, or equivalent, with additional qualification and first-aid requirements set by ProQual, or a separate route for fully qualified registered nurses or doctors. All applicants must be aged 18 or over and undergo initial assessment. Send your qualifications or registration to Eclipse for review of the full requirements.

Are these CPD attendance certificates?

No. The three diplomas and the Qualifi Level 3 BLS award are regulated RQF qualifications. Level 4 and BLS are awarded by Qualifi; Levels 5 and 7 are awarded by ProQual. Certification follows successful achievement of all qualification requirements.

How long does the pathway take?

Level 4 and Level 5 each have a strict maximum completion period of 12 months. Eclipse will confirm your Level 7 schedule and overall progression timetable. A re-enrolment fee may apply after six months of dormancy at Level 4 or Level 5.

How are theory and assessments delivered?

Theory and materials are provided through Google Classroom, alongside independent study, portfolio work and practical assessment. Level 4 includes two dedicated academy assessment days. Work is internally assessed and quality assured by Eclipse and externally quality assured by Qualifi or ProQual, as applicable. Selected Level 4 learners may need to attend an additional external quality assurance day.

Do I need to arrange models?

Ideally, learners provide suitable models for diploma practical assessments. If you have difficulty, contact Eclipse for help where possible. Your assessor will explain the required practical evidence and suitable model arrangements.

Can my existing training count?

Eclipse can review existing qualifications, CPD certificates, experience and evidence. Recognition of Prior Learning may be considered where appropriate. Any reduction in training or fees is considered individually at Eclipse’s discretion and does not remove regulated assessment requirements.

Is Basic Life Support included?

Yes, at no additional cost within Qualify. The Qualifi Level 3 BLS and anaphylaxis award runs from 1pm to 3pm and includes practical CPR, emergency response, choking, anaphylaxis, assessment and certification on successful completion. No previous qualifications are required for BLS.

Is Level 6 compulsory?

No. Level 6 is an optional additional qualification and is not an essential stage of the Qualify Pathway. Ask Eclipse about suitability and fees before adding it to your programme.

How do I apply?

Contact Eclipse with your qualifications, experience and intended starting point. The team will review your eligibility and explain programme, assessment and enrolment arrangements. This page supports enquiries and does not reserve a place or take payment.
