Aesthetic medicine does not replace your practice. It sits alongside it.

Registered medical practitioners. Some individual programmes are further restricted, and injectable training in particular is not open to every medical qualification. The eligibility guide sets out exactly which qualification permits which programme, and the reasoning behind each restriction. Check your eligibility.

Yes. You may attend and be certified. You must be registered with your medical council before you begin practising, which is a regulatory requirement rather than one of ours.

Almost always because they performed something outside what their own qualification permits. We teach each doctor only the procedures they are legally allowed to perform, and we state the boundary plainly rather than leaving it for you to discover afterwards.

No. Our programmes are vocational qualifications, not university degrees, and we do not claim otherwise. The two sit under different regulatory tracks in India. It is worth understanding the distinction before comparing any institutes.

No training certificate from any institute exempts you from a country’s own licensing requirements. Every country sets its own examinations and registration rules. If practising overseas is your intention, verify that country’s requirements directly before you enrol anywhere.

That depends on where you qualified, not on this programme. Graduates of some countries may register directly; graduates of others must first clear the screening examination; and graduates of countries on neither list cannot practise in India at all. Confirm your own position with the National Medical Commission before enrolling.

I2CAN is certified under ISO 9001:2015 and accredited by the International Accreditation Organization and the International Accreditation Forum. Our aesthetic medicine and cosmetology diplomas at Pune and Navi Mumbai additionally lead to a Beauty & Wellness Sector Skill Council examination and the Aesthetic Skin Technician certificate. No accreditation I2CAN holds confers any right to practise.

PGDAM runs three weeks in the classroom, Monday to Saturday, or three weeks online followed by one mandatory week of hands-on practice in person. The certificates are classroom only: Botox and Fillers runs three days, CAG and CMM four days, and CBGF 1 Day.

It has been enough for ten years of batches, including the hands-on. But the honest answer is that it depends on you, which is exactly why you may re-attend the whole diploma in any future batch, free, for as long as you practise. Some doctors come back once. A few come back three times.

Yes, across every procedure taught. Not models, not mannequins, not observation. If you want more repetitions than the batch allows, you may re-attend the hands-on sessions at no cost.

Rarely more than thirty. Hands-on time per student is the constraint, so batch size is capped rather than filled.

Yes. The same syllabus, the same protocols and the same case material at all four centres. Where you train does not change what you learn.

A theory book, and, for the diploma, a protocol book setting out each procedure step by step, together with guidance on combination therapy. Classroom students receive hard copies; online students receive soft copies.

Yes. The online format with a separate hands-on week exists precisely so that practising doctors can fit it around existing commitments. You may also defer your admission by up to six months after booking, or move between batches, by telling your counsellor in advance.

No. Many doctors begin by adding a treatment day to an existing practice, or by working in an established aesthetic clinic while they build toward their own. The final stage of the programme is shaped around whichever route you intend to take.

There is no single figure, and anyone who gives you one without asking questions is guessing. It depends on the city, the size of the setup, which treatments you intend to offer and the standard of machine you choose. Clinic setup is covered during the programme, and afterwards we help with choosing and sourcing machines and products.

I2CAN is not a placement agency and does not promise placement. What we do have is tie-ups with more than thirty clinic chains for interview introductions, along with interview guidance and feedback if an interview does not go your way.

Yes, for the aesthetic medicine diploma, with no time limit and subject only to seat availability in the batch you want. Free re-attendance applies to the diploma; the short certificates in aesthetic gynaecology, microblading and BB Glow are not included.
