Admission Requirements – 5/6/19
For enrollment, all applicants must provide the school with copies of their high school diploma, G.E.D.
certificate or equivalent, or high school transcripts showing high school completion, or transcript from
a postsecondary institution, college or university (demonstrating two years of successful completion
toward a bachelor's degree), and an application to our Admissions Department. Students must be high
school graduates or the equivalent; i.e., G.E.D. holders, or provide a state certification of home-school
completion, and be at least 18 years of age. If a student is a high school graduate or its equivalent, or a
home schooled student but is not 18 years old, they can still enroll. A student enrolling in the Esthetics
Instructor course would also have to present a valid Esthetics license. A copy of their Driver’s license
and Essay is also required. Applicant must have the required equipment and systems for online and
live class. Applicants will also be required to successfully complete an interview. Applicants to the
Master Esthetics Program must have a letter of recommendation from an Institute of Advanced
Medical Esthetics Instructor or an override from the school director.
All foreign diploma must be translated and evaluated for US equivalency. A foreign diploma in English
must also be evaluated for US equivalency. For our files, we require copies of the official foreign
diploma or transcripts, a translation of the documents and the evaluation, stating that this document
is in fact equivalent to a United States High School Diploma. Students will be notified verbally at their
admissions appointment if they have been accepted into the school. Students may be provisionally
accepted if they do not have all paperwork completed. Students must submit all paperwork in within
7 days of request or they will lose provisional admission acceptance.
ORIENTATION
Students will go through a pre orientation prior to enrollment to ensure they understand all policies,
procedures, and disclosures associated with the school and industry. Students will sign for the receipt
and understanding of such information.
DIPLOMA VERIFICATION
All high school diplomas must be verifiable. Acceptable documentation for checking the validity of a
student’s high school completion can include the following: the diploma and may require a final
transcript that showing all courses taken or the judgment of the State Department of Education where
the high school is located. A student’s self-certification is not sufficient to validate the high school
diploma in question. If the institution has reason to believe that the high school diploma is not valid or
was not obtained from an entity that provides secondary school education (for instance, if the diploma
or transcript was bought or the student was required to perform little or no work), the institution will
evaluate the validity of the student’s high school completion. There is no appeals process held by the
Institution or the Department of Education if the high school diploma is deemed invalid.
TRANSFER CREDITS
The standards for awarding prior academic credit or course completion are as follows: The criteria for
transfer credit will be given where applicable. Transfer hours will be evaluated by the student
providing a valid transcript, and by taking an examination. Transfer credits will be accepted on a case-
7by-case basis after evaluation by staff and are not guaranteed. If a student wants to transfer to
another school, there is no guarantee the hours will transfer. As long as all financial obligations are
met, an official transcript will be provided at the student’s request. The school does not recruit
students attending or admitted to another school offering similar programs of study.
RE-ENTRY Students who withdraw prior to completion of the program will return in the same
satisfactory academic progress status as at the time of withdrawal, if the school approves re- entry.

MASTER ESTHETICS 600 HOURS
If you are attending 25 hours a week it will take you 24 weeks to graduate.
21DESCRIPTION:
A continuation of the study of scientifically applied principals of skin care in theory, concept and
application, including but not limited to anatomy and physiology of the skin disorders and diseases,
skin types and conditions, peels, microdermabrasion, lymphatic drainage, advanced treatments,
effective retailing, communication skills and all required components of 18 VAC 41-70-190. The school
will use Basic & Advanced Esthetic Textbooks from Milady publishing and additional school generated-
content to meet the curriculum requirements. Curriculum and hours of instruction requirements are
as noted in 18 VAC 41-70-200 for Theory & Practical performance requirements.
OBJECTIVES:
Our objectives are to direct the student toward developing desirable work habits and attitudes with
respect to health, sanitation and safety; to encourage self-reliance, readiness to assist others and an
ethical approach to this profession; and prepare them for state licensure. The school makes no
guarantees on any employment opportunities or earning potentials.
PROGRAM FORMAT:
Students are taught through lectures, demonstrations, audio-visual aids and student participation
including workshops and clinic practice. Students demonstrate their knowledge of all subject matter
in theory and application through examinations. Distance sections are taught via our course
management system and include student centered activities.
GRADING PROCEDURES
To determine academic process, the school will evaluate the students progress in both theory
and practical topics. Clinical treatment numbers will not be graded or weighted into the overall
GPA; rather, clinic numbers completed will simply go towards the amount of practical
requirements needed towards graduation.
GRADING SCALE
Grades shall be given on the following scale:
Grades shall be given on the following scale:
A = 100-90; B = 89-80; C = 79-75; and F = 74 or below. (75 is minimum needed to graduate)
S = Satisfactory = 75 & >, U = Unsatisfactory = < 75
An Incomplete will be assigned when illness, emergency or unusual circumstances beyond the
student’s control prevents the student from completing the assigned course work and/or
examination(s) by the end of the session. The student must arrange to make up missing work and/or
tests. Satisfactory academic progress requires 75%.
