Choosing Your Course
Which course is right for me?
We offer two training pathways depending on your existing qualifications and experience.
Healthcare Professional Course
Designed for eligible healthcare professionals who want to add vitamin injection therapy to their existing scope of practice.
Wellness Practitioner Course
Designed to provide an alternative route for those looking to enter or develop their career within the wellness industry.
Not sure which route applies to you? Get in touch and we'll be happy to help.
Do I need to be a healthcare professional?
Our Healthcare Professional Course is designed for those who meet the relevant healthcare entry requirements, while our Wellness Practitioner pathway has been developed for those coming from outside traditional healthcare backgrounds.
I'm already a healthcare professional. Do I still need to complete all of the training?
Yes, our Healthcare Professional Course has been specifically designed with existing professional knowledge and experience in mind.
About the Training
What will I learn?
Our vitamin injection training combines the science behind vitamin therapy with the practical skills required for safe intramuscular administration.
Training includes Vitamin B12, B Complex, Vitamin C and Vitamin D, alongside areas such as anatomy, injection technique, screening, contraindications, consent, infection control, adverse reactions and safe practice.
Is the course CPD accredited?
Yes. Our vitamin injection training is CPD accredited and has been developed to provide structured professional learning alongside practical competency-based training.
Is the course online or in person?
Both.
Theory is completed online before attending your practical training. This means your face-to-face time can focus on developing practical skills, technique and confidence.
Will I actually practise injections?
Yes. Hands-on learning is an important part of our training.
You'll develop your technique in a supervised environment and demonstrate practical competency as part of completing the course.
How long does the training take?
The course combines self-paced online learning with a practical training session. You can work through the theory around your existing commitments before attending your practical day.
Where does practical training take place?
Practical training dates and locations are published on the course pages. We also periodically offer training at additional UK locations.
Qualification & After the Course
What do I receive when I complete the course?
Once you have successfully completed the required theory, assessments and practical competency requirements, you'll receive your course certification.
Can I offer vitamin injections after completing the course?
Successful completion provides training and competency in the areas covered by your course.
Before offering services independently, you'll also need to ensure you have appropriate insurance.
We help make that next stage easier by providing relevant introductions and guidance.
Do you help with insurance?
Yes. We've partnered with an insurance provider and can introduce successful delegates to an insurance pathway following completion of their training.
Insurance remains subject to the insurer's own eligibility criteria, terms and approval.
Do I need a prescriber?
This depends on the individual product and its medicines classification.
Where a prescription is required, we can introduce delegates to a prescriber to provide an appropriate prescribing pathway.
Where do I purchase the vitamins and equipment?
We can introduce delegates to an established UK wholesaler operating within the appropriate UK regulatory and licensing framework.
The exact sourcing and prescribing requirements depend on the individual product, its classification and your professional circumstances.
You'll also receive guidance on the equipment typically required to begin offering the service.
Starting in Practice
Can I add vitamin injections to my existing business?
For many delegates, that's exactly the goal.
Vitamin injection services can complement an existing healthcare, fitness, beauty or wellness business, subject to the appropriate training, insurance, scope and regulatory requirements.
Others may choose our training as part of starting something completely new.
Can I build a new business around vitamin injections?
Our Wellness Practitioner pathway is particularly suited to people looking to develop a new skill and potentially build a flexible wellness service around it.
As with any new business, success will depend on factors including your location, pricing, marketing, client demand and the time you choose to dedicate to it.
How much can I charge for vitamin injections?
Treatment pricing varies according to the vitamin offered, location, business model and local market.
During the course, we discuss the practical considerations involved in introducing vitamin injections into a business or practice.
How much could I earn?
That depends entirely on your pricing, number of clients, treatment costs and other business expenses.
Vitamin injections can provide an additional revenue stream for an existing practice or form part of a new wellness business, but we don't make guaranteed income claims.
Booking & Payment
How much does the course cost?
Course fees vary depending on the training pathway and any current offers.
Can I spread the cost?
Yes. Flexible payment options are available, including Klarna where eligible, allowing you to spread the cost rather than paying the full course fee upfront.
Payment options are subject to the provider's eligibility criteria and terms.
When is the next course?
Upcoming practical dates are listed on our course pages. New dates and locations are added throughout the year.
What happens after I book?
You'll receive information about accessing your online learning and everything you need to complete before your practical training.
You'll then attend your practical session, complete the required assessments and competency requirements, and receive information about your next steps following successful completion.
Still Have a Question?
Choosing professional training is an investment in yourself, and we want you to feel confident that you've chosen the right pathway before booking.
