PDO Thread Training Course in Oldbury and Birmingham
Our PDO Thread training course is a one-day, hands-on introduction to one of the most requested minimally invasive treatments in aesthetics. You will learn facial anatomy, thread insertion technique, and client consultation from practitioners who treat clients in this same clinic every week, then leave with a certificate that reflects real, supervised practice on live models. No medical background is required to start, and students save 20% on the course fee.
What the PDO Thread course covers
This course blends theory with practical, supervised thread insertion, so you leave able to perform the treatment safely, not just describe it. You will study facial anatomy and skin structure, then move on to consultation, thread insertion technique, hygiene, managing client expectations, and aftercare. Most students complete the full day comfortably, even with no prior medical background.
How your training day works
01Theory and anatomy
You will start with the science: what PDO threads are, the skin structures they lift and tighten, and the safety principles behind every insertion.
02Live model practice
Under the direct guidance of our trainers, you will move to hands-on thread insertion on live models, working through consultation, technique, and aftercare in real time.
03Certification
Once you have completed the practical assessment, you will receive your certificate of completion on the day, ready to add to your portfolio.
