| Criterion | Status | Details and Questions to Ask Derma Institute Prior to Registration |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Instructor Transparency | ❌ | The About page lists four trainers by name with credentials, including MBBS, MBChB, and MRCGP. These are all non-US medical degrees. The Level I course page and academy pages do not name the instructor for individual dates and locations. A check of the NY and Florida medical licensing boards did not reveal a US license for any of the listed faculty, but this company hosts hands-on training in these two states.. Ask: Who will be the hands-on instructor for my date and location, and in which US state is that instructor licensed? Are other providers not listed on the faculty also present for the hands-on training? |
| 2. Location Transparency | ❌ | Some city pages list a street address or link to a map showing the exact training location, such as New York (Atelier Confidence Skincare Studio, 81 Prospect St, Suite 802, Brooklyn, NY) and Miami ("Located inside of True Tan, 385 Alhambra Circle, Suite B, Coral Gables, FL"). Other academy pages, including Dallas and Chicago, list the city only. The Combined Level I & II course lists dates for each city, while dates for the Level I course on its own were not found matched to a location. Ask: Can Level I be booked on its own at my nearest city, on which dates, and what is the street address of the training site? |
| 3. CME Accreditation | ✅* | The Physicians and Nurses pages state joint providership by AffinityCE, which is accredited by ACCME and as a provider of nursing continuing professional development, for "a maximum of 16 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™" and "a maximum of 16 hours of continuing nursing education credit" for "this live activity." The Level I course page describes "CME: 12 Hours." *The joint provider and AMA and ANCC credit types are stated; this criterion is not met only because the published accreditation statements do not include approval or release dates or name the course they apply to. Ask: Does the AffinityCE credit apply to the Level I course, how many AMA PRA Category 1 and ANCC credits will I receive for Level I alone, and what are the approval dates? |
| 4. Small Groups | ➖ | The course page describes practical sessions in "small groups" with trainers. A maximum number of attendees per instructor was not found. Ask: What is the maximum number of attendees per hands-on instructor for my date? |
| 5. Product Included | ➖ | The course page states that tuition includes supervised live-model sessions, presentations, treatment videos, and post-course support. Whether neurotoxin and filler for hands-on training are included, and in what amount, was not found. Ask: Is neurotoxin and filler included in my tuition, and how many units and syringes will I personally inject? |
| 6. Own Patients, No Paid Models | ❌ | The models page invites the public to apply as models, states that models "save up to 60%" on treatments, and requires a $100 deposit. It states that models are treated by "our medical professional training delegates" under trainer supervision. Whether attendees may bring their own patient was not found. Ask: May I bring my own patient instead of a recruited model, and who provides follow-up care for models after the course? |
| 7. Online Access | ➖ | The course page describes online foundation theory completed before the practical day, including recorded presentations, treatment videos, and downloadable consent and aftercare documents, plus "ongoing access to trainers for post-course questions." Whether the online portion is accredited, the length of access, and whether updates are included were not found. Ask: How long will I have access to the online theory and videos after the course, and are updates included? |
| 8. A-T.com Core Curriculum | ❌ | The Level I course page lists glabellar lines, forehead lines, crow's feet, brow lift, lip enhancement, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, facial anatomy, contraindications, reconstitution and dosage, complication awareness, "emergency protocols and reversal techniques," and consent. Platysma bands, lid ptosis management, vascular occlusion, and hyaluronidase were not named on the Level I page. The Level II page, which recommends Level I first, lists platysmal bands, masseter, cheeks, chin, and jawline. Ask: Do the emergency protocols and reversal techniques taught in Level I include vascular occlusion recognition with a hyaluronidase protocol, and are platysma bands covered in Level I? |
