Post Graduate Beauty Therapy
Aim of the course
The CIDESCO Post Grad course is generally completed by working Teachers who are required to have this qualification to apply for a Teaching Council number.
CIDESCO is a very prestigious certificate but it should be noted it is no longer required to work overseas. It does of course give your CV an edge and the study required to achieve the certificate or Diploma will certainly improve your knowledge of the skin, cosmetic science, etc.
This element is now self-learning. We will provide zoom classes for direction and text books and notes to enhance your learning.
All Candidates must complete a refresher course of at least 60 hours at a CIDESCO School. The refresher course must be tailored to the individual needs ensuring that the candidates have covered all subjects in the CIDESCO Beauty Therapy Syllabus.
This is a post Grad course therefore the Tutor will be providing the guidelines for completion of the required thesis and case studies. Each student is fully responsible for the completion of all work as well as ensuring that their practical skills are at the level required to successfully complete the practical element of the Beauty Therapy exam process.
