Program details
Overview
Coast Mountain College's Esthetics Certificate is a 26-week, full-time program made up of two terms and roughly 800 hours of combined theoretical and hands-on instruction in skin care, hair removal, makeup design, face and body treatments, massage, salon business operations, and professional development. Students train in a fully equipped on-campus spa where treatments are offered to the public, giving them direct client-facing experience alongside classroom lectures and demonstrations before graduation. Admission requires Grade 12 graduation, mature-student status, or dual-credit eligibility, along with English Studies 10 (or English First Peoples 10, or equivalent) and Math 10 or equivalent. On completing the program, graduates are prepared to write the BC Beauty Council's licensing examinations and can go on to work in day spas, hair salons, private home-based businesses, sales and promotion roles, or as makeup artists in the performing arts.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission follows Coast Mountain College's Esthetics Certificate page, read via a Wayback Machine capture of 14 September 2025 because the live catalogue page currently returns a 404 error. Applicants need Grade 12 graduation, mature-student status, or dual-credit standing, together with English Studies 10 or English First Peoples 10 (or equivalent) and Math 10 or equivalent. English proficiency is required of every applicant to Coast Mountain College regardless of citizenship, per the institution's general admission requirements: domestic applicants may meet it through the college's English Language Alternatives, while international applicants show an approved test — IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, CAEL, or the Duolingo English Test — at the minimum level the college sets for this program's tier, or complete senior secondary schooling with a passing English 12 in a designated English-speaking country. No portfolio or interview is listed; a CMTN bursary application is mentioned but is optional funding paperwork, not an admission condition.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Coast Mountain College runs one common application calendar across its campuses rather than a single date per programme. Domestic applicants: for the 2026-27 academic year, applications opened 1 October 2026; the final day to apply is 24 December 2026 for Winter (January 2027) entry, 23 April 2027 for Spring/Summer 2027, and 30 August 2027 for Fall 2027. International applicants share the same opening date but face earlier cut-offs: 1 October 2026 for Winter, 1 February 2027 for Spring/Summer, and 1 June 2027 for Fall, and some high-demand programmes may close sooner. Trades and other varying-start programmes are judged against their own start dates (international due three months, domestic one week, before start), and continuous-intake programmes accept applications year-round. No single closing date exists beyond these cut-offs. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
