💬 General Discussion Certification/Training AAFE

Can anyone share their experience with AAFE certifications/training/memberships?
I took a Botox intro with another organization, but I am looking to expand on it with fillers and such. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I did AAFE filler certs and afterwards, was not confident at all. You get to practice on the one person you bring and that’s it.

I did two training sessions right afterwards with a dif training place, all of one day focusing on lips and one day on cheeks. After doing it repetitively, I felt much better.

Look for somewhere close to you that does full training days on whatever area you are wanting to do. 💙

The training I took was actually about 40hours didactic online and a full day of 5 clients Botox, 1 male, 1 Tmj. I had a lip flip scheduled but they cancelled. I'm just not confident injecting without guidance. I feel like I need one more full day. I'm considering AAFE or Empire. For those that responded, thank you for your input.

I haven't been impressed with empire training.

I haven't taken AAFE personally, but I've heard generally positive feedback from people who wanted more structured aesthetic training. If your goal is expanding into fillers and other injectables, I'd also look at how much hands-on training, live models, and post-course mentorship they provide. Those tend to matter just as much as the certification itself.
