IPHM Beauty Terms and Conditions for Training Providers
Last updated: 12/05/2026
Introduction
Thank you for applying for accreditation as a training provider with IPHM Beauty. As an independent global accreditation board, our role is to assess the quality of your course materials, tutor qualifications, and business practices. We are not a regulatory body and we do not govern or supervise the delivery of training.
By applying for and maintaining accreditation, you agree to the terms set out below and confirm your commitment to delivering high-quality, ethical beauty and wellness training in line with professional standards and legal requirements in your country.
A Note on Aesthetics and Injectables Training
IPHM Beauty can accredit aesthetics and injectables training, including treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, and other aesthetic procedures, provided that:
❋ All tutors delivering the training hold relevant, recognised qualifications for each procedure being taught ❋ You submit evidence of tutor qualifications as part of your application ❋ Your course content meets IPHM Beauty quality and ethics standards ❋ Students are clearly informed of the legal and regulatory requirements for performing these treatments in their country
If your tutors are not appropriately qualified for the procedures being taught, we will not be able to accredit those courses. We will tell you clearly if that is the case.
IPHM Beauty does not accredit training involving weight loss injections, including peptide injections, hormone-based injections, lipolytic injections, or injectable substances marketed for weight loss or body contouring. This exclusion stands regardless of tutor qualifications.

4. Course Updates and Quality Control
If you make significant changes to your courses, such as content, delivery method, or qualification structure, you must inform IPHM Beauty and submit updated documentation for review.
IPHM Beauty may request updates or clarification at any time to ensure your materials continue to meet our standards. Repeated refusal to cooperate or submit updates may result in accreditation withdrawal.

10. A Note on Artificial Intelligence (AI)
We support innovation and understand that many providers use AI as part of their content creation process. If your course content is entirely AI-generated, we ask that you are transparent about this with your students. They deserve to know how their learning materials were created.
11. Student Outcomes Disclaimer
IPHM Beauty does not guarantee any specific outcomes, employment, or success for students completing your courses. You are responsible for ensuring that your course content and structure adequately prepare learners for professional practice in their field.
12. Legal and International Compliance
You are responsible for ensuring your training complies with legal, health, and safety standards in your country of delivery.
If you offer training in treatments that are restricted or regulated in certain countries, you must ensure your learners are aware of and eligible under the legal requirements in their location.
IPHM Beauty accepts no responsibility for non-compliance with local laws or for the conduct of students after completing a course.
13. Limitation of Liability
IPHM Beauty accepts no liability for any damages, losses, or claims arising from the services, products, or training provided by its accredited members.
Accreditation does not constitute a guarantee of the safety, efficacy, or legality of a course or service. Our role is limited to reviewing submitted documents and granting accreditation based on that information.
14. Suspension or Termination of Membership
IPHM Beauty reserves the right to suspend or withdraw accreditation if a training provider breaches these terms, fails to maintain professional standards, or acts in a way that damages the reputation of IPHM Beauty.
If accreditation is suspended or removed, all IPHM Beauty logos, certificates, and promotional materials must be removed immediately. No refunds will be issued in cases of suspension or termination due to non-compliance.
