Intellectual Property & Sharing Policy
Our course material takes a great deal of work to produce. This policy explains what you may do with it, what you may not, and what happens if it is copied, shared or resold.
Last updated: 7 August 2026
01
Who owns the material
All content on this website and on our learning platform belongs to Cole Aesthetics Academy or to our licensors, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights under UK and international law.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Video lessons, recordings, audio and presentation material.
- Written modules, handbooks, workbooks, protocols and reference documents.
- Assessment questions, model answers and marking material.
- Slides, diagrams, illustrations, photographs and graphics.
- Course structure, curriculum design and the way material is sequenced.
- Website text, page design and downloadable resources.
- The names Cole Aesthetics Academy and Cole Elevation Evaluation, and our logos and branding.
02
What you are buying
When you purchase a course, you are not buying the content. You are buying a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use that content for your own professional development.
That licence is granted to you alone, for as long as you hold a valid account and keep to these terms. It cannot be sold, gifted, shared, sub-licensed or transferred to anyone else, including a colleague, employee or family member.
03
What you may do
Within that licence, you are welcome to:
- Watch, read and work through the material as often as you like.
- Make personal notes for your own reference and revision.
- Download any resource we have expressly made available for download, and keep it for your own use.
- Apply what you have learned in your own clinical or business practice.
- Show your certificate to your insurer, employer, regulator or professional body.
- Reference the fact that you have completed a course honestly, for example on your website or CV.
04
What you may not do
Without our written permission, you must not:
- Share your login details or let anyone else use your account.
- Record, screen-record, screenshot or photograph course material.
- Download, copy or save content we have not expressly made available for download.
- Upload our material to any other website, cloud drive, messaging group, forum or file-sharing service.
- Resell, rent, licence or distribute our material, whether for payment or free of charge.
- Use our material to teach, train, mentor or assess anyone else, in person or online.
- Reproduce our material in your own course, workshop, presentation, handout or social media content.
- Remove or obscure any copyright notice, watermark or branding.
- Use artificial intelligence tools to reproduce, rewrite, summarise or repackage our material for distribution.
One account, one person
Course access is personal. If two practitioners in the same clinic both want the training, both need their own enrolment — and both then get their own assessment, certificate and CPD record in their own name.
Account sharing is the most common breach we see, and it is straightforward for us to detect. Where we find it, access is withdrawn without refund and any certificate issued may be revoked.

05
Using our name and brand
You may state honestly that you have completed one of our courses, and you may display the certificate we issued to you.
You may not use our name, logo or branding in a way that suggests you are endorsed by us, affiliated with us, accredited by us, or authorised to deliver our training. You may not present yourself as a Cole Aesthetics Academy trainer, partner or representative unless we have agreed that in writing.
You may not use our name or branding in advertising for your own training courses, or in any way that implies we have approved your practice.
06
Content you send us
If you send us feedback, suggestions, questions or testimonials, you allow us to use that material to improve and promote our courses.
Where we use a testimonial publicly, we will attribute it in the form you gave it — for example a first name and clinic — and you can ask us to remove it at any time.
Your assessment answers remain yours. We use them only to mark your work, issue your certificate and maintain our completion records, as set out in our Privacy Policy.
07
Third-party material
Some course material may include content licensed from others, such as clinical images, anatomical illustrations, research extracts or product information. That content belongs to its original owner and is used under licence or as permitted by law.
The permissions in this policy do not extend to that third-party material, and you may not extract or reuse it separately.
08
Why this matters
This is not about being precious. Course material that circulates freely stops being viable to produce and maintain, and a certificate that anyone can obtain without doing the work is worth nothing to the practitioners who did.
Protecting the material protects the value of your own certificate.
09
If this policy is breached
Where we believe our material has been copied, shared or misused, we may take any or all of the following steps:
- Suspend or permanently withdraw your account and course access, without refund.
- Revoke any certificate issued and the associated CPD record.
- Require the immediate removal or deletion of the material concerned.
- Issue takedown notices to websites, platforms and hosting providers.
- Refuse any future enrolment.
- Take legal action to recover losses and legal costs, and seek an injunction.
Copyright infringement is a civil matter and can, in some circumstances, be a criminal offence. We would far rather never need this section.
10
Reporting misuse
If you come across our course material being shared, resold or used without permission, please tell us at [email protected]. A link or screenshot is enough, and we will handle it discreetly.
If you believe content on our website infringes your own copyright, contact us with details of the material and your rights in it, and we will investigate promptly and remove anything we should not be using.
11
Asking permission
If you want to use our material in a way this policy does not allow — training your clinic team, referencing a diagram in a presentation, or anything else — just ask. Email [email protected] and tell us what you have in mind. Permission is often given, and it costs nothing to check first.

Online continuing professional development for qualified aesthetic practitioners — led by Steven Cole, Level 7 Advanced Aesthetics Practitioner and Business Development Coach.
Our courses are theory-based online learning intended to extend existing knowledge. They are not a substitute for hands-on, supervised clinical training, and completion does not confer any licence or authority to perform treatments. Practitioners remain responsible for working within their own scope of practice, insurance and regulatory requirements.
