TORONTO, In recent years, the number of people employed in the estheticians occupations group has increased significantly, mainly due to the demand for personal care services. Since these trends are expected to hold, employment in this occupational group should continue to experience significant growth over the next few years. Centennial College’s Esthetician program students benefit not only from the curriculum of the highly respected courses, but more directly from the valuable hands-on practical experience in the school’s student clinic and the field placements at the best spas in the city.

Centennial’s esthetics college provides students with the knowledge and skills for spa applications, skin care and business operations. Graduates from this program are able to provide the entire range of professional services offered in today's spas and the skills required to successfully operate a private business. Placement in both industry clinics and established businesses allows graduates to learn in an atmosphere that builds their confidence and skills to enter this challenging and exciting career.

Students have the advantage of developing their skills by using the esthetician lab facilities at Centennial College and its cutting-edge equipment that are common in today’s wellness and medical spas. They study with qualified instructors who have many years of experience in the industry and explore a comprehensive curriculum that incorporates anatomy, physiology, practical applications, product knowledge, sales techniques and business practice.

Graduates of Centennial’s Esthetician program have found employment in spas and salons, or in health clinics in conjunction with dermatologists, plastic surgeons and other healthcare providers. Opportunities also exist on cruise ships and spas overseas. As a result of the hand-on experience and the field placements, some graduates have chosen to work as product representatives and skin care consultants, while many estheticians chose to be self-employed in their own businesses.
