Our hybrid program of online theory, paired with in-house, technology-supported, hands-on training, allows you maximum flexibility without sacrificing the quality of your education.
See exactly how below:
The first seven weeks of the class are entirely online for both full and part-time students. After you complete the online portion of the course, you will move to the in-house, hands-on practical training portion of the course at our school facilities.
Full-time students spend approximately 2 months in the building completing their hands-on portion of the course. Part-time students spend approximately 4 months in the building.
Seven weeks of online learning paired with 2 months of in-house, hands-on training equals approximately 4 months of total time to complete the program.
Seven weeks of online learning paired with 4 months of in-house, hands-on training equals approximately 6 months of total time to complete the program.
The first seven weeks of the Advanced Esthetics Program are entirely online for both full-time and part-time students.
While there are weekly coursework assignment deadlines, this first portion of our course allows students to complete their coursework at their own weekly pace, at any time of the day, and on any day of the week that best works for their schedule.
Your instructor conducts a live weekly hour-long class over Zoom to help keep you on track as you progress through the online portion of the course. This meeting provides the opportunity to go over the material covered for the week with your classmates and your instructor.
All students are considered “full-time” during the online portion of the course. Student time actually completing coursework each week will vary from student to student and from the difficulty of the material being presented each week.
*The Zoom meeting, while encouraged to attend, is not required. We record them and make them availble to view for those who have scheduling conflicts.
After you complete the online portion of the course, you will move to the in-house, hands-on practical training portion of the course at our school facilities.
It takes full-time students approximately 2 months to complete the in-house, hands-on training portion of our Adavanced Esthetics program.

Part-time attendance is Monday/Wednesday -OR- Tuesday/Thursday, 9 am to 5 pm. Most students spend approximately 4 months in the building, as they complete their hands-on training.

You will hit the ground running by reviewing your online studies and then quickly move to train on our state-of-the-art advanced esthetics equipment.
Instructor-supported, hands-on training in your small class ensures more than enough time to become comfortable with all of the equipment and modalities before you begin your time seeing advanced clients in the spa portion of our school.
Our curriculum uses only FDA-approved devices and prepares our students to hit the ground running.
