Hands-On Courses

 
What makes ECAMS hands-on courses different from other workshops?

ECAMS programmes follow a structured, competency-based, ISO-aligned training model.
This means you receive:

  • real hands-on surgical practice (cadaver or live models)

  • step-by-step technique coaching

  • complication management training

  • faculty-guided skill development

  • anatomical, ethical, and safety foundations

Not product-driven teaching or superficial demonstrations.

 
 
 

Yes.
ECAMS training is designed exclusively for licensed medical doctors, surgeons, or dentists whose scope of practice allows engagement with aesthetic procedures.

 

You will gain:

  • the anatomical knowledge

  • the procedural technique

  • the hands-on experience

  • the safety frameworks

  • the decision-making skills

to perform the procedure confidently within the scope permitted by your local medical regulator.

No private training institution can grant legal “competence”; this is determined only by your country’s licensing authority.

Because international medical law requires that:

  • competence = determined by your medical regulator

  • no private organisation can grant legal scope of practice

The acknowledgment protects your licence, our faculty, and your patients by keeping everything aligned with global regulatory standards.

 
 

You must complete all the online lecture prior attending the hands-on course. You will receive the instruction to access the online lectures once your payment is received. Watch the video online anytime. Start the video whenever you are ready, or pause the video anytime when you need to take notes or a break! Please make sure all online lectures are completed prior to attending the hands-on course. 

 

You must complete all the online quiz (exam) with a minimum of 70% passing grade prior to attending the hands-on course.  

 
 

Depending on the course, you may work with:

  • fresh frozen cadaver dissection

  • supervised surgical practice

  • live-model hands-on treatments

  • simulation-based skill development

  • practical suturing and closure techniques

  • complication recognition and management exercises

Training is always supervised, controlled, and safe.

 
 

We strictly limit numbers to ensure meaningful practice time.
Depending on the type of course, most groups are:

  • 1-2 doctors per cadaver station, or

  • 5–6 doctors per cadaver station, or

  • 5 doctors per live model for injectables, depending on the course

  • 1 doctor per live model for surgical procedure, depending on the course

We do NOT run large commercial workshops. Please contact us if you want to find out the course you are interested regarding the ratio of doctor to cadaver speciment/live model.

 
 
 

All ECAMS faculty are:

  • internationally recognised surgeons and specialists

  • actively practising in their field

  • experienced mentors with strong ethical standards

  • when they are giving training under ECAMS they are not financially tied to product or device companies

This ensures unbiased, technique-driven training.

 
 

Yes.
All participants receive an ECAMS Certificate which documents:

  • the course title

  • the procedures trained

  • the level of hands-on participation

  • the supervising faculty

This certificate is globally respected in the medical aesthetic field.

 
 

Aesthetic medicine and surgery are unregulated or loosely regulated in many countries, while some regions have specific rules on who may perform certain procedures. Because of this global variation, you must always check with your local medical authority or regulator regarding your permitted scope of practice.

What we can confidently share is this:

  • Since 2008, every ECAMS-trained doctor who completed our hands-on courses and earned our certification has been able to practise the procedures taught within their clinic or country, provided it aligns with their local regulations.

  • Doctors have consistently been able to obtain malpractice insurance using their ECAMS certificates as proof of formal postgraduate training.

However, it is important to clarify that no reputable organisation—ECAMS included—can grant legal permission to practise a procedure. Legal authority is determined only by:

  • your country’s medical regulator

  • your professional licence

  • your institutional or hospital privileges

Your ECAMS Certificate verifies your training, surgical exposure, hands-on practice, and the procedures you were formally trained in.
It does not replace or override your local regulatory requirements.

 
 

Preparation materials will be sent upon registration, including:

  • pre-course online courses must be completed before the hands-on course

  • anatomy reviews

  • safety guidelines

  • online theory exam must be completed with min. 70% passing grade before the hands-on course

  • online assignement must be completed before the hands-on course.

This ensures you make the most of the hands-on experience.

 

Many courses include:

  • OSAT-style assessment

  • faculty observation

  • technique evaluation

  • anatomical identification tasks

  • practical performance exercises

These assessments help guide your learning and progression.

 

You are welcome.
Our training is progressive, meaning:

  • beginners will have pre-requisite modules that need to attend prior to attend the next level course

  • experienced doctors refine advanced techniques

  • everyone leaves with improved skill capacity

The faculty tailor their supervision according to your experience level.

 

ECAMS provides:

  • post-course faculty Q&A

  • clinical guidance support

  • complication management advice

  • ECAMS alumni network access

  • optional advanced modules and fellowship pathways

We support your growth even after the course ends.

 
 

Yes, everything required for training — instruments, sutures, injectables, models, PPE, and materials — is included.
