License Ofqual Regulated Courses. Launch Faster. Teach Better.

Why academies are under pressure

If you run a CPD academy, you already know how quickly the landscape is shifting. Students are no longer satisfied with short certificates. They want recognised qualifications that help them secure insurance and stand out in the industry.

At the same time, new licensing rules and insurer requirements mean CPD-only academies will struggle to compete. The demand for regulated courses is rising, and academies that fail to adapt risk being left behind.

The challenge with writing regulated courses

Creating regulated qualifications in-house is not a quick fix. It means:

• Writing content to match strict Ofqual learning outcomes

• Designing assessments that meet awarding body standards

• Building internal quality assurance systems

• Handling external quality assurance visits and reports

• Spending months and thousands before you can enrol a single learner

During that time, your students are looking elsewhere.

The smarter route: licensing

Instead of spending months writing from scratch, you can license courses that are already approved, already quality-assured, and already delivering results in live academies.

At You Academy, we offer fully written, Ofqual-regulated aesthetics qualifications that you can deliver under your own centre, or under ours if you prefer a faster start.

What you can license

• Level 4 Certificate in Laser and Light Hair Removal and Skin Rejuvenation

• Level 4 Certificate in Skin Rejuvenation

• Level 5 Certificate in Laser Tattoo Removal

Each comes with:
✔ Full curriculum and lesson plans
✔ Tutor presentations and scheme of work
✔ Learner handbooks and assignment briefs
✔ Assessment packs
✔ IQA documentation and sampling strategies
✔ Delivery schedules and support

Two ways to deliver

1. License under your own centre
   If you already have awarding body approval and IQA capacity, you can deliver the courses directly under your own centre. You get editable materials, ready to roll out.

2. License under our centre registration
   If you do not have centre approval, you can run courses under our registration. That means no need to set up your own compliance systems from scratch. You focus on teaching and recruitment, while we handle the regulatory framework.

Why licensing saves time and money

Think of licensing as plugging into a proven system. Instead of losing months to development and audits, you can:

• Launch regulated courses quickly

• Increase enrolments with qualifications students actually want

• Protect your academy against future licensing changes

• Focus on growth and delivery, not endless paperwork

The return on investment is clear.

The business model

Let’s look at numbers.

• Ten learners enrol on a Level 4 course at £2,000 each = £20,000 revenue per intake

• Run four intakes per year and you generate £80,000 from one qualification alone

• Add additional intakes, advanced courses, or device partnerships and the figure climbs higher

Licensing turns regulated training into a revenue stream that pays back quickly while strengthening your academy’s reputation.

Who this is for

Licensing is ideal for:

• Existing CPD academies that need to upgrade quickly

• Clinics wanting to add an education arm without writing courses

• Educators who want to focus on teaching and recruitment, not compliance admin
