Oregon State
Department of Education
Approved Trainers/Training Facility
Preparing our
students to meet the future of esthetics. If you want to make the most of your career - we
are here to help.
Our
Mission Statement:
NW Inst of Esthetics teaches to the
highest industry standards to bring out the innate passions, gifts, and abilities of each
student to enhance career options and develop caring, creative, critically thinking
successful estheticians who focus on ethical practices and pursue continuing education.
At the NW
Institute of Esthetics, we only accept small groups of candidates in each class.
While in the past our maximum class size was 4-6 with the expansion in our new 3200
square foot facility we will be able to help classes of up to eight in each group.
We pride ourselves in the high teacher:student ratio so we can offer the best
possible support. All studies are divided into theory, demonstration and practical
exercises. We maintain a diversity of learning tools to keep the classroom
experience fun and exciting.
As you
learn and gain skills you progress through recognized levels of accomplishment in both
technical and soft skills. Awards and rewards await you as you discover new talents
and enhance existing ones.
Our
1200
hour program is setting new standards and raising the bar for esthetics education in the
NW, but we aspire to more. We believe in the 1200 hour national and international
standards and now offer preparation for national
certification. Even though not required by the state,
you can graduate with a 1200 hour diploma and the skills necessary to not only pass your
state exams but to sit for the NCEA National Certification program. We believe this
will make our graduates some of the most desirable employees and knowledgeable
estheticians in the country. It will allow for enhanced
mobility from state to state as well as enhance career
choices.
We are
excited about esthetics, its future and your place in it. Call us and come visit. The
excitement is contagious.
