SMC-registered doctors who wish to seek verification of COC for non-accredited courses which they have attended can submit an application to the Aesthetic Practice Oversight Committee (“APOC”) using this form [PDF, 155 KB]. Before submitting an application, applicants should ensure that all requirements listed in the General Criteria for Certificate of Competence Course Accreditation [PDF, 135 KB] have been met.

Applicants are also reminded that until they receive confirmation from the APOC that the certificate obtained from the non-accredited course is a valid COC, they are not to perform the procedure.
