In 2008 we moved to the nationally recognized 1200 HOUR PROGRAM.  For estheticians wanting to complete a 1200 hour program we are on your team. In 2008  we offer both a 600 and 1200 hour program.  Why?  Because 1200 hours is the national standard adopted by National Coalition of Esthetic Association/ Manufacturers and Distributors.(NCEA).  It also puts U.S. technicians more on a par with their Canadian and European counterparts. The 1200 hour course will prepare you to take the NCEA national exam and preparatory work is included in the advanced 600 hour package. Students wishing to transfer into our advanced 600 hour program may be required to take 100 hours additional to "bring them up to speed" and prepare them for the advanced material if they have not had a 600 hour basic program. We are the first school in Oregon to offer a 1200 hour esthetics program.

We are proud to be the very first school in the country to have their program approved for students to take the NCEA Exam upon graduation.   We anticipate more states will use the NCEA exam as a tool to establish esthetic qualifications and enhance the mobility of estheticians from state to state. It is also the standard being adopted to determine what procedures an esthetician may perform. We anticipate this to be the wave of the future and are excited to be preparing students for it.   Additional chapters, business management and hands-on practice are included. 

Patterned after the NCEA recommendations and requirements for CIDESCO training, our goal is to help you achieve the same level of skill found in internationally trained technicians. Sections of the  advanced portion of the program are offered as seminars of theory and practical for those licensed in the industry.  We will also be offering NCEA Certification Preparatory Classes and other NCEA curriculums.  For class dates scroll to the bottom of the class list.
