Written Assessments
Written Assessment
The Written Assessment is an assessment element of your Postgraduate Diploma in Facial Aesthetics and is comprised of a Risk Assessment, a Critical Literature Review, and a Case Study.
The Risk Assessment can be on the topic of your choice within the context of working within an aesthetics clinic, for example, sharps handling, infection control, or electrical equipment and fire hazards.
The Critical Literature Review can be on the topic of your choice within aesthetics, allowing you to delve deeper into an area of particular interest, or into an area that you would like to specialise in as a practitioner.
The Case Study requires that a model from your practical training is selected for the write-up, and should include your assessment of their needs during the initial consultation, the treatment(s) performed, and a follow-up consultation which can be conducted through video conferencing as required.
