The course, mark by mark
The whole map. Seven modules.
Foundations is the neuromodulator and filler course for people who haven't injected yet. It reads the map in the order a treatment day runs: know the face, assess, chart, keep it clean, know the red lines, then treat. Theory comes first; the hands-on days go to live models.
- Map Facial anatomy Bone, muscle, fat and skin, and where each numbered mark sits on them. You learn the landmarks in class, then find them on live models with a white pencil. Respect: Every red line on the map: the facial and angular arteries beside the fold, the labial arteries inside the lip, the supratrochlear vessels at the inner brow, and the nerve along the jaw that moves the lower lip.
- Assess Consultation and consent What the client wants, what their face shows, and what the NP or physician's assessment and plan of care already say. Consent that names the treatment, its risks, and the fact that a trainee is treating. Respect: The order. No order, no treatment, and from 1 March 2027 it is a client-specific order for that one client.
- Chart Charting against the order What you record on every treatment: the order you worked from, the map you drew, the product and lot, and the follow-up. The same chart you'll use after March. Respect: The order's limits. You chart against what it says, for the client it names, and you treat nothing beyond it.
- Clean Infection prevention Preparing the skin, keeping a clean field, handling sharps and waste, and setting up the room before the first client sits down. Respect: The skin barrier. Every point breaks it, so every point is a clean one.
- !Red lines Safety and complications The red lines for every mark: recognizing a vascular problem in the first minutes, a reaction to a neuromodulator, the emergency kit in the room, and what you do, in order. The full day is Complications. Why it's a module: You practise it before your first model, not after.
- 1Upper face First neuromodulator treatments Upper face basics on live models: the forehead, the frown lines and the crow's feet, mapped first and treated under supervision. The neuromodulator course goes further. Respect: The brow. Points placed too low can drop it.
- 2, 3Midface + Lips First filler treatments Hyaluronic acid filler basics on live models, in the areas your trainer sets for the day. Small amounts, and your map checked before each point. The dermal filler course goes further. Respect: The facial and angular arteries beside the fold, and the labial arteries inside the lip.

Before you book
Who it's for, what you leave with, and what nurses ask.
Who can take it
RNs, RPNs, NPs and physicians who are new to injecting, or who want the whole map before a single area. RNs and RPNs practise with an order from an NP or physician, and from 1 March 2027 it must be a client-specific order (what changes in March). Dentists: talk to us first, cosmetic work stays inside the mouth in Ontario. Naturopathic doctors: this course isn't open to NDs. Not licensed yet: you need a nursing, NP or medical licence first. Check your licence on the Can I train? list.
What you leave with
A certificate of completion. It records the course you took and the training you finished. Permission to inject comes from your licence and, for RNs and RPNs, an order from an NP or physician. After Foundations, you pick a mark: neuromodulators, dermal fillers or skin.
I've never injected. Do I start here?
Yes. Foundations is the whole map for people new to injecting: anatomy, consent, charting, infection prevention and the red lines, then your first supervised treatments on live models.
Does Foundations cover neuromodulators and fillers?
Yes, the basics of both, on live models. The neuromodulator and dermal filler courses take each area further, mark by mark.
Do I need Foundations before another course?
Tell admissions your licence and what you've done, and they'll tell you where to start on the map.
Can I take Foundations if I'm not licensed yet?
Not yet. Injecting needs a nursing, NP or medical licence first, and the course includes treatments on live models. The career guide shows the real route.
Is Foundations approved by CNO?
No course is. The College of Nurses of Ontario doesn't approve or endorse training programs. It describes good training as theory, supervised practice and evaluation, and that's how Foundations is built.
What happens after Foundations?
You pick the mark you want to learn next, and its course takes that area further. Every foundational course also includes one complimentary full day of clinical shadowing at our partner clinic.
