Training Program Features and Benefits

“Faculty Listed” indicates if the name and degree of the person teaching each date and location is listed.
“Location Listed” denotes if the full street address of the training is given online.
“Verified CME Credit” indicates if aesthetic-training.com was able to successfully verify that the CME credit stated is actually in effect currently.
“Class Size” refers to the maximum stated class size for hands-on.  If none is listed, then class sizes from social medica photos and videos are used as representative.
“Hands-On Product Included” earns a checkmark if a guaranteed minimum amount of hands-on using real BTX and Fillers is included in the course tuition.

Compare PracticalCME vs other aesthetic training providers like AAFE, AMET, Empire

  • * AAFE states that their CME credit for MD, DO, NP, RN is co-sponsored by Medical Education Resources. In 3 attempts to get confirmation of the CME Credit, Medical Education Resources has failed to confirm AAFE’s status as current.  AAFE does NOT include any hands-on product nor state how much hands-on each attendee will get.  They sell products for full price to use at hands-on.  This will add at least $500 to the tuition price just to get a starter amount of product for supervised hands-on.
  •  ** AMET states that only their “Basic BTX and Filler” course has CME credit.  The Advanced course have not earned accreditation.  For Saturday classes, They overstate their Credit hours are for their actual amount of live contact time because the required advance webinar is not accredited and hands-on only meets for 4 hours. They do not state any guaranteed amount of hands-on product each attendee will inject.
  • ^ Empire and it’s duplicate AAOPM list only MD’s on their faculty page, but many are no longer teaching and a specific faculty member is not listed teaching each course.  According to public reviews on Google, not all classes historically have been taught by MD’s.  They do not state any guaranteed amount of hands-on product each attendee will inject.

Training Limitations and Negatives

“Advanced Courses Needed” indicates if the company withholds useful information from their initial training course to make you pay to attend again to learn some basic techniques and other fringe applications.
“Additional Costs” denotes the cost of adding on the online component in advance of the live date, fees for basic hands-on products/supplies and additional “processing” fees.
“Paid Model Risk” indicates if the provider recruits patients to pay to serve as teaching models. This is a proven high-risk situation that changes the volunteer nature of a training course into a “service for hire” contract. This increases the medico-legal risk for all attendees especially attendees who outrank the instructor (MD’s taught by RN’s for example). Imagine paying for product to use for hands-on and find out the company also took money from the model to get treated with the product you bought!
“Ongoing Membership Fees” refers to amount of money annually to pay for basically nothing since CME training is not required to be renewed periodically.
“Fake Board Certification” earns a checkmark if a company has the nerve to ask for thousands of dollars in exchange for a title that means absolutely nothing since aesthetics is not a specialty and there is no accepted “Board”.

Compare PracticalCME to other Aesthetic Training providers

  • * AAFE has an extensive list of dentists and nurses with no MD on their faculty anywhere. It appears from the reviews that most of the instructors are the nurses or are not matched with anyone on the faculty page. The additional cost is for hands-on product that is not included in the basic tuition.  They aggressively sell memberships, fake boards, fake titles and ongoing renewals that are not necessary.
  •  ** AMET does not have a single person mentioned by name in connection with the company or the training in any location.  We also don’t know how much product is guaranteed for hands-on or if additional expenses will be needed to complete hands-on.
  • ^ Empire and it’s duplicate AAOPM charge extra for online learning prior to the live date, which the other 3 providers here offer in the tuition fee.  They also charge an additional 3% for credit card transactions because they have had so many chargebacks.  Empire pushes fake board certification and annual renewal through AAOPM which is 100% owned and controlled by Empire.
How Do I Train in Botox?

First, you need LICENSURE.  That is an active license as a RN, NP, PA, MD, DO, DDS (some states), or ND (4 states).

Then you need to complete the steps to research and choose the best course.

By far, it is best to train in Botox and Fillers first because this is the entry point for most consumers for other services.  See the reviews of the best services.
