What You Need to Know About International Injection Certification Training
Apr 21 2022
Reading Time: 3 Minutes
Author: Patricia Pezzano
So you’re interested in medical aesthetics.
Now you’re wondering: what certification is needed to do Botox?
In Canada, only licensed medical practitioners can perform Botox and filler injections.
They must also complete injection certification training.
But here’s the truth: there is no true certification for aesthetic injectors in Canada right now.
You might ask, “What about those centres advertising certified courses?”
Those providers “certify” based on their own criteria.
Because it’s their own course, there is no guarantee it’s unbiased.
So “certification” varies wildly from course to course.
There is no standard against which courses are measured.
This means the certification handed to injectors is just a verification of attendance.
Even low-quality courses can claim to provide a “certification.”
That is not a real certification.
To be truly certified, pick a course from a training centre with independent third-party accreditation.
There is only one such centre in Canada.
What Is Third-Party Accreditation?
A third-party certifier is an organization outside the centre.
It assesses the course’s methods, training materials, and more.
Once all requirements are met, the centre earns accreditation.
International Certification for Injectables: What Is It?
As mentioned, there is no independent certifying body for Botox in Canada.
So how can you be truly certified for injectables?
True certification is available in the United Kingdom through OTHM, a globally-recognized awarding body.
You don’t need to go to the UK.
One centre in Canada facilitates international certification: APT Injection Training.
APT Injection Training, with UK partner MATA Training, is the only centre in Canada for true international certification in clinical injectable therapies.

How is an International Certificate Administered?
True certification is based on standard learning goals.
You are assessed through written evaluations and short-answer questions.
You also complete an in-depth injection logbook.
Then, the requirements go to the UK for assessment.
Evaluators are from outside the training centre.
Is It Difficult to Get An International Botox Certification in Canada?
Previous injection training helps, but it is not a guarantee.
A basic course alone is not sufficient stand-alone training.
You need an independent course that meets third-party standards.
APT Injection Training’s course follows UK standards.
This ensures your knowledge is up-to-date and world-class.
What If I’m Already Injecting?
An international certificate adds to your credibility.
It also boosts your patients’ confidence in you.
It guarantees you met the highest training standards.
How to Get International Certification
You don’t need introductory courses if you already inject.
Upgrade to APT’s International Certification in Clinical Aesthetic Injectable Therapies.
Your prior training and experience will be verified first.
Then you get access to training materials.
These materials teach the latest and safest techniques.
The course takes six to nine months to complete.
Completion time depends on each trainee’s circumstances.
