Esthetics
The objective of this course is to teach you to become a professional esthetician. You will be competent in all aspects of treating the skin, caring for the client, business theory and ethics, as well as manual and machine facial techniques.

Numerous career avenues are available for the professional esthetician, including resorts, local salons, the leisure and entertainment industries, as well as working with a dermatologist.

Beauty Wellness Therapy Program
The objective is to teach the nature and health of the skin, as well as the professional art of scientific skin care treatments. The program also includes information on types of products and equipment used. The purpose of the program is to combine all three courses, thereby rendering the student as a Certified Beauty Wellness Therapist who possesses all the skills desired to assist in all aspects of full-service spas and resorts, as well as numerous other venues. Because each subject is very extensive, only the shared topics, such as Bacteriology, Sanitation and Ethics, etc., will be covered together. All other topics will be covered alternately.
