Micro-credential in Esthetics and Spa Therapy Micro-credential is a micro-credential in Health Sciences programme taught at Okanagan College in Kelowna, Canada. The programme is delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition is CAD 3,600 per total for local students.
This 280-hour micro-credential combines theoretical instruction with practical training delivered in a professional spa training centre. Hands-on content covers make-up foundations, hair removal techniques, eyelash and brow treatments, and skin care and facials. Specialty spa treatments explored include body wraps, body scrubs, hot stone therapy, and relaxation massage, alongside an introduction to reflexology and aromatherapy and to alternative esthetic treatments. Sustainability and eco-friendly practice are also discussed.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Okanagan College's own program page could not be fetched directly (it returned a 403 access-denied response both directly and via the r.jina.ai reader), so this entry is drawn from the college's own published search-result summary of that same page. The stated admission requirement is successful completion of Okanagan College's Spa Practitioner Foundations Micro-credential, though the college will consider a combination of existing industry experience or prior learning in place of that formal prerequisite. No English or French language-test score, minimum grade, or age condition is stated. Once admitted, learners must attain a minimum of 70 per cent in each course of the micro-credential to complete it.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through EducationPlannerBC (a $30 CAD fee): Okanagan College sets no fixed closing date for most programmes in the 2026-27/2027-28 cycle. Applications for a Fall intake open at 8:30 a.m. on October's first business day of the preceding year, and for a Winter intake at 8:30 a.m. on February's first business day of the preceding year (exceptions apply); Practical Nursing's January intake opens at 9:00 a.m. on April's first business day of the preceding year.

International applicants also apply through EducationPlannerBC, paying a $100 CAD per-programme fee; the College publishes no institution-wide international closing date and directs applicants to each programme's own page. Admission is otherwise rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
