Trusted by medical professionals across Canada

As a physician, I have taken a lot of courses over the past 7 years and I haven't encountered many gems. The Academy course is a true gem! I was so impressed by every little detail. I have to comment first on the content of the course. I think learners truly benefit from having a foundational course that starts at the very basics assuming nothing about prior knowledge. We can all stand to review our basics and it is probably this foundational learning that makes us best in our fields. I do believe that knowing one's physiology and anatomy is crucial, in order to become truly proficient as an injector and to take care of our patients in the safest manner possible. The hands-on learning gained in the course from having the opportunity to work with clients as well as watching others interact with clients is invaluable. The hands-on portion of the course is one of the most encouraging factors for continuing onwards in the profession and knowing that, yes, I can safely and creatively serve clients in their medical aesthetics journey.

I never felt awkward asking a single question. I felt so inspired by the wealth of information that the group had to offer around the medical practice of aesthetics and was truly appreciative of the expertise offered by Julianne surrounding the business and marketing aspect of venturing into aesthetic injectables.

What a wonderful course and experience! I came out feeling so much more confident and knowledgeable. I don’t know how it is possible, but Kimber is as smart as she is beautiful- an amazing teacher!

As a Family Doctor, I embarked on this course with a keen interest in expanding my skill set, and I must say, the knowledge and hands-on training surpassed my expectations.

The course was not only comprehensive but also highly interactive, providing a perfect balance of theoretical insights and practical application. Kimber exhibited a wealth of expertise and a passion for teaching that truly set this course apart. Her ability to simplify complex concepts and guide us through the intricacies of Botox and filler injections was commendable.

The hands-on training sessions were a game-changer for me. The opportunity to practice under the guidance of skilled professionals not only boosted my confidence but also refined my technique. The live demonstrations allowed us to witness real-world scenarios and challenges, preparing us for the dynamic nature of aesthetic procedures.

The course’s focus on safety, ethical practices, and patient care was particularly reassuring. Understanding the importance of client consultation, proper injection techniques, and post-treatment care has significantly elevated my approach to aesthetic procedures.

I wanted to get into the aesthetics industry for a long time and since I was new to Calgary and had no idea which course to take. I immediatelv started to search online for all types of courses available. I decided on the course by Frida because of the culture and amazing personalities I witnessed on social media. I was immediately drawn to come and learn from Kimber and her team. They made me feel confident in my skills and all the staff put their heart and soul into the program. They are always looking to make the course better and better and that tells me they take care of their students. Highly recommend taking this course.

What an incredible experience! I have been dreaming of becoming an injector for a long time, and Frida Academy has helped make this dream become a reality. Frida Academy has got to be the best course I have ever taken! I highly recommend this course to any new or experienced injector! It suited my personal learning style with both classroom learning and hands-on experience. The organization and provided materials were next level. I was able to use these resources throughout the three days easily, and it was straightforward to follow. Both Karly and Kimber provided a safe and comfortable learning experience for everyone involved! As a new injector, I was very nervous to start injecting the models, but they provided such clear and helpful direction with every step of the way. I left the academy with new friends and so much more confidence in my own skills and abilities. This course ignited the passion I have for the beauty/medical world. I cannot thank the Frida Family enough.

I am beyond thankful I chose Frida Academy to take my neuromodulator and dermal filler course. Kimber and all educators are welcoming, non-judgmental, extremely organized, and all such informative leaders in the industry. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I can’t describe how great of a learning environment they create. The course exceeded my expectations. Honestly, the course they created is brilliant!

Jessica Beatty

I would give my overall experience a 12/10! I took away an immense amount of information, skills, and confidence from this course. With the help of Kimber and the Frida Family, I was able to take the next step in my career as a Nurse Injector. My favourite components from this course included the hands-on training and client interaction. Specifically, injecting lip filler and having an over-the-moon client! I enjoyed learning in-depth about the muscles, arteries and facial anatomy. A good teaching technique included drawing the muscles and arteries on a person; this really solidified the locations for me. In addition to this, the business part of the course is a game changer. Including a section on resumes, networking and interview preparation was extremely beneficial. Lastly, Kimber is so kind, knowledgeable, patient and supportive!! I don't think I can ever thank her enough for her help and teaching. I mean, Frida was going through a lockdown due to covid, and she still gave the class and me her full undivided attention. I would highly recommend this course! You will learn so much and come away with a wealth of knowledge, confidence, and support from Kimber and the Frida Family!

Being able to inject real models, on multiple occasions, has made me more confident moving forward in the profession. All the staff were amazing in their roles and worked well as a team. Kimber, the course educator, is fantastic. She has such a positive attitude and fosters the most welcoming environment. Her knowledge is profound and able to articular complex concepts in a clear and precise manner. They offer advantageous information on the business side of being a nurse injector, again promoting more comfortability going into the industry. This team has put together so much excellent information, readily accessible to students, to help facilitate learning throughout the course, and thereafter. Would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning about the field and becoming certified.

Frida Academy was beyond exceptional! From the first point of contact and answering all my questions before signing up to in-class teaching and hands-on experience! Be prepared for three very long, busy days, but so worth it! I can’t say enough great things about this course! Kimber and the Frida team make you feel so welcome. A bonus to the program is a business and marketing component on the 3rd day PLUS continued contact with Frida Academy Alumni to answer any questions during your journey after you finish the course. THANK YOU, FRIDA FAMILY!

Danielle Blair

Although fast-paced and jam-packed with information, this course was fantastic! The content provided was not only thorough but well organized, relevant and easy to follow. We were provided with a ton of educational resources in advance and during the week, in addition to reviewing first-hand examples of situations that may arise in practice, hands-on training, videos/pics, live models and catered lunches and snacks. A great quality educator makes a huge difference, and you could see by the way this course was organized and the delivery of content that Kimber put her heart and soul into it. Having models to work on was greatly beneficial and allowed for extra practice on all three days. I came out feeling super motivated and excited to start my career in injectables. The environment was relaxed and fun, professional and supportive. Kimber and her team were incredibly kind and lovely to work with. Everyone was welcoming, enthusiastic and encouraging. Despite the unending questions I had, everyone made time to answer all of them. Originally I was torn between where to take my course through, but after completing the Frida Academy, I am 1000% thrilled with my decision. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to venture into this industry. Register! You won’t regret it.

The Academy by Frida exceeded my expectations. Before attending, I was provided with a comprehensive injectors manual, which allowed me to come to the course with a solid foundation of knowledge. This was supplemented by didactics by Kimber, which were very informative. Kimber's teaching style was interactive and transparent, with examples from her own experiences. The course was very hands-on, and I was extremely well-supported when injecting clients each day. Kimber and her team went above and beyond to offer all of their tools to be successful in the industry.
