There does not seem to be accredited Certificate of Competence (COC) courses for certain aesthetic procedures under Table 1. What can I do if I wish to obtain a COC for such procedures?
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.
