How Much Is A Botox Course?
When aspiring to become an aesthetic practitioner, taking a botox course is a natural step to further your progression and expand your knowledge and skillset in aesthetics.
In short, a botox course can cost anywhere between the range of £500 to £1000+ including VAT, though this can differ depending on the training provider in question and whether it’s a beginner or advanced level course.
That said, you will need to find an accredited training provider to get a better feel for how much a specific botox course is.
When doing your research to find a course within your budget, be sure to check out reviews. This is important, as the cheapest course you can find doesn’t immediately mean that you’re getting a better deal as it might not cover what you need it to, which is why reading the course content is also essential.

At You Can Clinic, we offer a range of training courses to suit the individual from beginner to advanced practitioner. These courses include two Botulinum Toxin training courses, Introduction to Botulinum Toxin and Advanced Botulinum Toxin.
- Introduction to Botulinum Toxin - This course costs £550.00 in total, and requires a £300.00 deposit to secure your place on the course.
- Advanced Botulinum Toxin - This course costs a total of £750.00, with a deposit of £300.00 to secure your place.
Our Introduction to Botulinum Toxin course involves close supervision and introduces you to glabellar, forehead and crow’s feet. This course is ideal for healthcare professionals, such as nurses, doctors, dentists, and pharmacists.
During our Advanced Botulinum Toxin, you will gain a deeper understanding of the use of Botulinum Toxin. Additionally, you will learn how to administer botox under expert guidance for a number of conditions, including migraines, bunny lines, and hyperhidrosis to name a few. That said, you will need to have completed a beginner botox course to do this course.
Now you have a better understanding of how much a botox course itself costs, you might be wondering what costs are associated with taking a botox course.
Costs Associated With A Botox Course
There are various costs of taking a botox course that you should be aware of, so that you can adequately budget before signing up for a course.
These costs include but are not limited to:
- Upfront costs
- Travel costs
- Time taken out of work
1. Upfront Costs
If you're interested in taking a botox course, you’ll first need to consider is the upfront costs.
These include the cost of the botox course itself, as well as the deposit that you will be required to pay to secure your place on the course.
Keep in mind when researching relevant courses that the upfront costs shouldn’t take up your entire budget, as you will need to consider the cost for everything else that follows.
At You Can Clinic, we offer two Botulinum Toxin training courses, Introduction to Botulinum Toxin and Advanced Botulinum Toxin.
2. Travel Costs
Another important cost to consider when signing up for a botox training course is travel costs.
Considering that ‘some train season tickets cost more than £5,000’ in places such as London, the additional cost of getting to and from your training course is important to consider.
Decide whether you intend to drive or get public transport. Is the training provider located somewhere that has good transport links? If you're driving, how much fuel will you need to get there?
Finding a training provider that is not only convenient for you to get to but is also within your budget in terms of travel costs is essential.
3. Time Taken Out Of Work
If you’re taking time out of work in order to expand your knowledge and skill set, then this can have financial implications if you’ve got no other money coming in.
Additionally, if you’ve quit your job to retrain and focus on your career in aesthetics, you will need to budget for this. Generally speaking, it’s recommended that you ‘save three to six months’ worth of your fixed living expenses before leaving’ your job, and more money on top of that to cover the other costs associated with a botox course.
Many accredited trainers carry out botox courses on weekends in order to accommodate for this cost, so if you can’t afford to take time off work, then this might be a better option to prioritise.
If not, you will need to budget for the time that you’re not working in order to complete your course.
