When choosing a cosmetic injectable course in Oakville, there are a variety of factors you should take into consideration. One of them is the breakdown of the training scheme—meaning whether you will receive group instruction or on a more one-on-one basis.

APT Injection Training utilizes a 2:1 trainee to trainer ratio for all our injectable courses. With years of experience training physicians, nurses, and other professionals in the cosmetic aesthetics industry, we have tested numerous methods of training and found this arrangement to be the most beneficial to those being trained. In this blog, we will discuss the benefits of the 2:1 training ratio and how it works.

Let’s dive right in.

What Does 2:1 Mean?

At APT, we have developed a leading approach to injection training. All of our courses operate under the model of a 2:1 ratio of trainees to a trainer. Having such a small ratio is to ensure that our trainees get the most out of their time with us and have the opportunity to work closely with an expert in their field. Our top priority is to get you the proper training that you deserve and we feel that is best accomplished when working in close proximity to your trainer, instead of in a large group.

How Our Courses Work

Our courses will provide you with the proper knowledge and training required by professional colleges in Canada in order to administer a variety of different injections and their techniques.

All of our injectable courses provide extensive, pre-course training materials so you arrive at your hands-on session feeling confident about the theoretical aspects of the process. We begin the morning session with a review of the most pertinent information from the pre-course material. This is then followed by a more hands-on approach to injection training where you will learn the proper techniques through observation before administering injections to cosmetic patients yourself.

This is where the 2:1 training comes in. A significant amount of time throughout our injectable courses in Oakville is devoted to hands-on training. For this reason, we are dedicated to providing course attendees with the ability to work closely with an expert in their field and receive structured feedback. Having only one other trainee in these injection sessions with you allows your trainer to provide you with attentive instruction without getting lost in a crowd.

The Benefits of 2:1 Trainee to Trainer Ratio

Training in any capacity is vital to advancing your career in the medical aesthetics industry. Not only is it a way to develop your talent and skills, but it can also provide you with new insights into the industry as well as the advancements in technology and techniques.

As you might have already recognized, there are definitely benefits when it comes to APT’s 2:1 training method, maybe more so than you initially realized. This personalized approach to injection courses in Oakville can be extremely effective. Some of these benefits include the following:

Understanding Your Needs

One of the major advantages of APT’s 2:1 ratio of trainee to trainer is that it can be tailored to your specific needs and requirements. When learning injection techniques in a group setting, there is no guarantee that all of you will be at the same level. With a more one-on-one approach, you can make sure you receive the proper training that matches your skill level.

Identifying Personalized Goals

Similar to understanding your specific needs, working closely with a trainer will allow you to identify and set personalized goals. If there is a specific skill that you want to further develop or a technique that you are interested in, you can discuss these goals with your trainer who will be able to work with you to achieve them.

Asking Questions

At APT, we recognize that not everyone will thrive in a group training environment. That is why the 2:1 training method works so well. Some people are simply not comfortable speaking or asking questions in front of a large crowd—which is completely understandable! That is why these intimate sessions are perfect because it will ensure that you have the opportunity to ask for clarification or have any of your questions addressed. That way you can ensure you are learning exactly what you need to.
