The JCCP has established strict entry requirements & premises standards for the Education and Training Provider Register
The process for joining the register is the same for all Education and Training Providers. Registrants will need to complete a detailed electronic application, provide evidence and sign a ‘Self Declaration’ statement.
Read MoreThe JCCP receives many enquiries about how to join the Education and Training Provider Register, entry requirements, fees and benefits. It has compiled a useful guide based around the most often asked questions.
Read MoreDetailed research on the provision of education and training programmes in the aesthetics sector has identified the existence of a wide range of education/training providers.
Many of these providers go through appropriate accreditation processes, whether they be a University, College of Further Education or a private training provider recognised by an approved OFQUAL, SQA or eqivalent awarding body in Wales and Northern Ireland. Many other companies operate independently with no externally approved quality assurance processes. In these cases it has been difficult to evaluate the value of any particular course or the extent to which they accord with public safely and protection requirements. The JCCP Approved Education & Training Provider Register will enable practitoners to know which courses and programmes meet the required JCCP/CPSA standards and prepare them to enter the JCCP practitioner register.
The JCCP believes that it is important for practitioners to know when deciding on which education/training programme to choose, the status of that provider, the level and nature of the qualifications on offer, and whether they meet and reflect the JCCP/CPSA standards. To do this the JCCP has established a ‘Register of Approved Education and Training Providers’.
The JCCP is a company limited by guarantee with UK charitable status, approved by the UK Charity Commission. This means that the JCCP will operate as a ‘not for profit’ body governed by a ‘Board of Trustees’ who operate within the Charities Act (2011). In order for the JCCP to become a charity it must demonstrate that it is operating for ‘public benefit’ which in this case means ‘patient safety’ and ‘public protection’.

OBJECTS
The JCCP’s objects are to promote the health and safety of, and protection of the public by the development and promotion of high standards of practice among non-surgical cosmetic practitioners and hair restoration surgeons, including by (but not limited to):
In these Articles, charitable means charitable in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom provided that it will not include any purpose that is not charitable in accordance with section 7 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and/or section 2 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008.
The JCCP has been established in order to provide a source of information and guidance for patients/members of the public seeking safe practice in the area of non-surgical cosmetic treatments and hair restoration surgery. Its agreed Mission Statement and Values are set out below
Mission Statement of the JCCP
The Mission Statement for the JCCP is set out below:
‘The Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) and the Cosmetic Practice Standards Authority (CPSA) are recognised self-regulators of the non-surgical aesthetic industry in the United Kingdom and the point of access for the public seeking information about this area of practice and where appropriate for raising concerns about practitioners. The JCCP places public protection and patient safety as the focus of its activities.
JCCP Practitioner Registrants and associated Education and Training Providers will be accredited and endorsed by the JCCP as meeting the highest standards of quality by ensuring that all parties who have been admitted to the JCCP’s Registers have met the agreed industry qualifications, benchmarks and abide by the standards of practice and behaviour as determined by the Cosmetic Industry CPSA and the JCCP.
Values of the JCCP
Protecting the Public - Key Mechanisms
The JCCP will be undertaking a range of activities to raise awareness and to provide information to the public about how to identify ‘safe practice’. The main areas of activity will be as follows:
The JCCP Practitioner Register is a voluntary register open to all practitioners working in the fields ofcosmetic treatments (who are practising at and beyond Level Four as defined in the JCCP Non-Surgical Cosmetic Interventions and Hair Restoration Surgery Education and Training Competency Framework, 2018 - this framework now replaces the previous framework developed by Health Education England - HEE) and who meet the JCCP’s standards and criteria for admission to the Register.
The Register’s aims are to provide guidance to the public seeking treatments in the procedural areas recognised by the JCCP. The has been formally approved by the Professional Standards Authority – the Government's Regulator of public sector healthcare-related registers in the healthcare sector – and has successfully received accreditation of its Practitioner and Approved Education and Training Registers.
The JCCP Practitioner Register is divided into two parts:
PART A: Health Care Practitioners registered with a JCCP recognised Professional Regulated Statutory Body (PSRB)
PART B: Non Health Care Practitioners who are not registered with a PSRB
A detailed list of recognized health care professionals as agreed by the PSRB's can be found at:
The JCCP and the Cosmetic Standards Practice Authority (CPSA) have developed a set of educational, clinical and practice standards and a set of entry requirements (in conjunction with many leading experts in the cosmetic sector) for persons wishing to join the Practitioner Register.
The CPSA is a sister body to the JCCP but completely independent. It is seeking charitable status but has already appointed a Trustee Board. It is made up of clinical and aesthetic experts who are charged with independently setting a framework of clinical and practice-based standards linked to the educational and qualifications framework produced originally by Health Education England (HEE):
The CPSA has used the framework developed by HEE to set clinical and practice standards across 4 non-surgical treatment modalities, and 1 surgical modality, that are currently recognised by the JCCP and the CPSA :
* Toxins
* Fillers
* Peels
* Lasers
* Hair Restoration Surgery
The CPSA has also been charged with the responsibility to review any new orphan treatments that emerge in the market place and in collecting data on adverse incidents and complications occurring in the area of non-surgical treatments.

The entry requirements and processes for joining the JCCP Education and Training Provider Register are the same for all Education and Training Providers. Registrants will need to complete a detailed application and provide relevant evidence. JCCP Assessors will review each application and will give feedback to the applicant prior to an ‘Assessment Visit’.
The JCCP recognises qualifications offered at L7 that have been provided and endorsed:
The HEE report also adopted a number of other key principles with regard to education and training provision that will be embodied in the JCCP entry requirements for Education and Training providers and they are as follows:
The JCCP is working with manufacturers and product companies who provide extensive training to practitioners to consider how their training offer can be incorporated into recognized programmes, qualifications and for CPPD programmes. The case for accreditation of the same is also being considered by the JCCP.
The JCCP Stakeholder Council was developed to allow a full range of stakeholders to meet on a biannual basis to discuss feedback on the activities of the JCCP, discuss new developments in the sector and to act as a forum for key opinion leaders.
