Through a combination of classroom theory and practical application, students learn the basics of human anatomy and physiology, as well as the core esthetic techniques: facial and skin care treatments, hair removal, manicures and pedicures, makeup applications and spa body treatments. This College Certificate program also offers business and client service skills to prepare students for self-employed practice.
Employment opportunities for graduates may include working in spas, salons, resorts, cruise ships, hotels, cosmetic departments and health clinics, or as an independent esthetician or skincare representative. To qualify for this certificate, you must complete the program within three years. | | |
