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.
The first two weeks of in-house training require ALL students to attend full-time, four days a week, Monday through Thursday, from 9 am to 5 pm.
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.
Each course has an instructor assigned to support students and keep them on track with the online material. Instructors regularly review and respond to student questions.
Additionally, there is one live online class offered during the online portion of the course, and students are given plenty of notice about its date and time.
All students are considered “full-time” during the online portion of the course. The time students actually spend on coursework each week will vary depending on the individual and the difficulty of the material covered.
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.
Clinical Intensives, the first two weeks of the in-house training, require Part-Time students to attend full-time, four days a week, Monday through Thursday, from 9 am to 5 pm.
After those first two weeks, part-time students shift to their two-day-a-week schedule.
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.
Our Advanced Esthetics program is not offered as a competency-based course. The state of Oregon requires Advanced Esthetics to be taught as a 500-resident hour course.
