When I enrolled at the Cinta Aveda Institute, I had no idea how much I would fall in love with the esthetics world.
As my time in school dwindled, I realized that I yearned to delve deeper into skincare. This thirst led me to continue my education in advanced skincare and more by seeking CIDESCO certification, an international beauty therapy diploma. The CIDESCO program gives another 900 hours of expertise including massage therapy, anatomy, and physiology, dermatology, chemistry, cosmetic science, ingredient knowledge, machines, electricity, as well as a personal thesis and an additional subject of your choice.
As I am rounding out the last of my 1500 hours, I couldn’t be more thankful for my experience and for all that I have learned. I am especially grateful for the wonderful educators that I have had. My teachers all have had decades of training as well as loads of hands-on experience, and they have given me precious knowledge that I will bring with me into the field.
If you are thinking of doing CIDESCO, or are not yet sure, I highly recommend this training. A CIDESCO certification brings a great deal of prestige in the industry. It is intense and involves a lot of work but, by the end of the experience, you will be a more well-rounded, knowledgeable, and polished practitioner.
