The esthetician program averages 750 hours over a period 21 weeks for full time and about 34 weeks for part-time. The program includes theory, practice, and clinical study of skin care. Students will learn how to provide a complete “spa experience” in skin care, makeup, wax techniques, and other treatments. Included in this curriculum are a series of lessons, quizzes, a mid-term, a final exam, visual demonstrations, and required skills that can be practiced in lab and clinical settings.
Graduates who complete this program will be prepared to take the required state examinations to become licensed estheticians. Once licensed, graduates will be eligible to work in salons and spas that offer full-service skin care treatments, as well as some medical establishments. Students seeking licenses in other states will be advised about requirements in those states.
