Learning Objectives

At the end of the program students will have the theoretical knowledge and practice area skills to be competent esthetic professionals.

  • Manicure
  • Pedicure
  • Waxing
  • Facial
  • Advanced Facial
  • Make-up

Students will also have had work experience in a working spa under supervision.

Assessment Methods

  • Students are taught the knowledge contained in each (theory) chapter of the main text book.  Each chapter has a summative assessment (exam). Students should achieve an average of 70% on these exams to pass. Theory assessments are administered at the end of each chapter.
  • Students are taught the knowledge and skills in seven practice areas.  They are assessed based on the criteria they are taught and have practiced. (Students should achieve at least 70% of the criteria to be deemed ‘competent’ – a point system is used).  For example, the assessment for ‘manicure’ is done at the end of course one. Students who do not ‘pass’ on their first assessment in a practice area demonstration will be allowed another opportunity to retest after independent study / practice.

By the 30% point of their program, students receive meaningful written feedback based on relevant criteria – attendance, participation, assessments and so forth.

On completion of all theory exams and practice areas, a final (letter) grade is determined based on the student having demonstrated competency in the practice areas and the average grade they get in the theory exams.

Grade Criteria

Student has achieved an average of 90% or more on the theoretical assessments.
