Beauty education · Certificate courses

Learn it.Try it.Get certified.

Short online courses on the beauty and health products not taught in beauty school. Each one comes with a kit of real products to practice on.

Beauty school teaches the craft. We teach what it skips: the patch test, the lice check, the scalp spot that needs a doctor.

How it works

Three steps to your certificate.

  1. 1. Kits are built.

    Brands supply real products. We pack them into teaching kits.

  2. 2. You enroll.

    Pick a course and get the kit plus the online modules.

  3. 3. You certify.

    Pass the module test and earn an advanced certificate for your resume.
