Ever since I was young, I have been surrounded by family members in the beauty industry. Watching them transform clients’ confidence and well-being sparked a dream in me, one that pushed me to enter the aesthetics world myself. My ultimate goal is to move to Australia and work in a top-tier beauty clinic there, and finding the right training was everything.
I started by enrolling at another clinic in Birmingham. After six weeks, I had barely learned anything practical. Classes were large-group PowerPoints, the instructor was disengaged, and we only practised on one model twice a week. In a hands-on field like aesthetics, that simply is not enough. I left feeling deflated and genuinely uncertain whether I could perform on real clients at all.
Why I Came to Empire Medical Clinic
I did not come to Empire Medical Clinic to train at first. I came looking for work experience, hoping to rebuild my confidence in a professional environment.
The moment I walked in, I could sense a difference. The atmosphere was welcoming, the team was supportive, and they took a genuine interest in where I was and what I wanted to achieve. When they asked me to demonstrate what I had previously learned, I was not sure what to expect.
What followed changed everything.
What One Day Here Actually Felt Like
In a single day at Empire Medical, I gained the confidence and skills I had been searching for across six weeks elsewhere.
Every step was explained clearly. Every technique was shown precisely. Nothing felt rushed, and I never once felt like just another student moving through a session. The team made sure I understood not just the technique, but the reasoning behind it. I left that day not just ready to work on real clients. I left excited to.
Why I Recommend Empire Medical Above Anyone Else
The right training provider does not just teach you techniques. They build your professional foundation.
Empire Medical Clinic is family-run, with a team of eight certified professionals and over 20 years of combined experience. They practice what they teach, every single day. That combination of real clinical expertise and genuine investment in their students is not something you find everywhere.
If you are considering aesthetics training in the West Midlands or beyond, this is the place that will help you get there. I know, because it helped me.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is it like to train with Empire Medical Training Academy?
Training with us means small class sizes, genuine one-to-one attention, and hands-on practice on live models under supervision. Many students tell us this makes an immediate difference compared with larger, more impersonal courses.
Do I need experience before attending a one-day training course?
No, our courses are designed to take you from wherever you are starting from, whether that is complete beginner or an existing professional upskilling. Non-medic and medic pathways are both available, so the right course depends on your background rather than your prior experience.
Can you really learn enough in just one day?
Our one-day intensive format is built around focused, hands-on practice rather than long lectures, which is how students leave properly prepared rather than relying on theory alone. As a working clinic and academy, the people who train you also treat clients every week.
What happens after I complete my training?
You receive a Certificate of Completion and can begin offering treatments, whether within a clinic, as a mobile service, or through their own business. Students also receive 20% off all training courses, which helps if you want to keep building your skills afterwards.
