Clinic hours per week may vary from program to program. The Certification programs are not accredited by NACCAS and are not available for Title IV financial aid. The Licensing programs are accredited by NACCAS and programs over 300 hours are available for Title IV financial aid to those who qualify.

Class Scheduling

All courses and schedules are available on a minimum class start. Classes may be cancelled, postponed or rescheduled due to class, faculty or instructor scheduling conflict, as well as in the case of insufficient enrollment. The Esthetic Institute reserves the right to make said changes without prior notice. The School offers makeup hours for students enrolled in licensure classes who would like to make up missed hours.

The school’s program offerings are consistent with its stated purpose, to provide career focused education that inspires and empowers our diverse student body to succeed in employment with confident, professional skills in the exciting, growing field of esthetics.
