Your Esthetics Competency Journey Begins Here

The Esthetics program is a competency-based learning plan designed to prepare students to work in the esthetics industry. Students complete the core program within 8-14 weeks of classroom education and practical education on the clinic floor. Practical education is completed within the classroom (where students learn by exchanging services on each other) and on the clinic floor (where students provide services to guests).

Mastering Esthetics: A Competency-Based Journey

In order to complete the competency requirements for their program, students must complete a set number of services, written examinations and practical examinations. Cosmetology coursework is modeled after the Milady’s Standard Esthetic Fundamentals 11th Edition textbook.
