Esthetician Certificate Program
About Our Esthetician Certificate Program
Our Esthetics Certificate Program teaches the fundamentals of skin care. Students will take a series of courses to learn procedures for skin analysis, performing a variety of facials, chemical exfoliation, waxing, the use of galvanic and high frequency machines, paraffin wax, and basic make-up applications. A culminating state board class will prepare students for the passage of the written and practical California State Board Esthetician Licensure Exams. All of our students are provided with a course schedule that allows them to efficiently complete all operations and hour requirements set forth by the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. Advanced students will perform a variety of skin care services in our full-service, on-site salon. To complete the Esthetician Certificate program, students must complete 3 course levels, a minimum of 600 hours and all required practical operations.*
