About beauty training and licensing in Malaysia

How beauty training is organised

Private beauty academies in Malaysia commonly teach international awards, namely CIDESCO (Switzerland) diplomas and CIBTAC (UK) diplomas, alongside the Malaysian Skills Certificate (Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia, SKM) levels 1 to 3. Several academies are listed on CIBTAC's Malaysia centre pages (for example Clara International Aesthetic College, Impress Esteem and Aesthetics International Academy), and Clara's Ipoh academy appears in CIDESCO's school directory. Academy diplomas such as Clara's CISA and CIBP bundle in-house certificates with these external awards.
