Why it matters

Why aesthetics practitioners need anaphylaxis training

Anaphylaxis is rare, but when it happens you have minutes, not hours. Anyone injecting, or using products that can trigger an allergic reaction, needs to recognise the signs early and act without hesitating. That is why ProQual makes a current first-aid qualification part of the entry requirements from Level 5 upwards.

What you learn

  • Assessing an emergency safely
  • CPR and using an automated external defibrillator (AED) on someone who is not breathing normally
  • The recovery position for someone unresponsive but breathing normally
  • First aid for anaphylaxis, including using an adrenaline auto-injector

I already have First Aid at Work. Do I need this too?

For ProQual entry, a valid Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work is accepted, so you may not. This award is shorter and focused on the emergencies most relevant to hair, beauty and aesthetics, which is why it suits aesthetics practitioners.

Questions

First aid for aesthetics FAQs

Is this first-aid course accepted for Level 5, 6 and 7?
Yes. ProQual’s Level 5, 6 and 7 aesthetic practice specifications all list the Level 3 Award in Adult Basic Life Support, AED and Management of Anaphylaxis as an accepted first-aid qualification, alongside First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid.
How long is the certificate valid?
Three years from the date of certification. Most ProQual aesthetics diplomas ask for a currently valid certificate when you register, so keep an eye on the date.
How long is the course?
The qualification is 4 hours of total qualification time, including 3 guided learning hours, delivered face to face.
How is it assessed?
You complete ProQual’s candidate workbook, which needs a 100% pass mark, and your assessor observes four practical skills, including CPR with an AED and managing anaphylaxis, supported by photo or video evidence.
What is the minimum age?
ProQual’s current specification (February 2026) says candidates must be at least 16 on the day they register.
Can I do it online?
No. ProQual requires this award to be delivered face to face, because CPR, AED use and the recovery position have to be practised and observed.
