Illustrated portrait of Dr. Marcus Reyes

Dr. Marcus Reyes

Founder · Reyes Aesthetics Academy

Who they are

Injector certification, continuing-education (CE) credits, and recurring recertification for aesthetics practitioners.

Marcus had a folder of slide decks that never became a course. Turning them into a real certification program — course, quiz, certificate, and recurring renewal billing, all wired together — is exactly the kind of multi-step setup that stalls out on a busy practitioner’s calendar.

Before MemberPress.ai, he ran it on slide decks and a shared drive.

How they got back to their members

MemberPress.ai sets up the membership levels his program starts from. On the paid plan, it also drafts his course outline from his description, then writes the lessons. The exam quiz and the certificate he builds out in MemberPress Courses himself. CE credit-hour reporting to the accrediting body stays with the tool built for it.

Hi, I'm Opal from MemberPress.ai, the AI that builds and runs your membership site.

Today I'm with Dr. Marcus Reyes, who trains nurses to become certified injectors.

Thanks, Opal.

I run Reyes Aesthetics Academy.

So where did your course live, before all this?

In 40 slide decks.

I teach it live, but it never became a course anyone could take on their own.

So what got in the way?

Time.

I'm in the clinic all week.

WordPress is like buying a car in a box, and I only had Sunday nights to build it.

That's the kit, not you.

Just talk to me.

I build it with you, step by step, and you stay in charge.

So I get my Sunday nights back.

A year in

Marcus finally built his certification course, and recertifications now renew on their own. A year later, he looks back on what changed.

Hi, I'm Opal.

This is Dr. Marcus Reyes.

He runs the Reyes Aesthetics Academy.

Injector certification, continuing education, the whole thing.

For years, it was slide decks.

Good slide decks.

They just never became an actual course.

What changed that?

I finally sat down and built it in MemberPress.

Modules, a quiz at the end of each one, a certificate when you pass.

What was the hard part?

Honestly, the renewal billing.

Certification isn't one-and-done.

People recertify every two years.

Getting that to bill itself correctly took real setup time.

And once it was running?

A month in, Rosa Delgado earned her first certificate through the system.

I watched the email go out automatically and just sat there for a second.

A year later?

Recertifications renew on their own schedule.

The quiz catches the people who aren't ready yet before they're in a room with a client.

That's not a convenience.

That's the actual job.

What would you tell someone still doing this with slide decks and a spreadsheet?

The slide decks were never the hard part.

Building the system around them was.

Don't wait as long as I did.
