The programme runs for 1 year, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 35,577 per year (CAD 14,157 per year for local students).
The Advanced Medical Esthetics Practitioner graduate certificate prepares students for the medical esthetics field, covering assessment of skin types and conditions and the treatments used to promote and maintain skin health with advanced technology, products and devices. Coursework builds hands-on skills for working alongside nurses and physicians within a defined scope of practice, including laser and light-energy treatments, chemical peels, hydrofacials, microdermabrasion, micro-needling and dermaplaning, plus the fundamentals of assisting with invasive cosmetic medical procedures and an introduction to phlebotomy for PRP treatments through a laboratory tour. The curriculum also covers care delivered before and after treatment for groups such as oncology patients, and prepares graduates to sell and administer cosmeceutical products and medical esthetic treatments; injectable treatments such as Botox and fillers require separate licensing not covered in the program.
