About beauty training and licensing in South Korea

How beauty training is organised

Beauty training in Korea is delivered mainly by private academies (미용학원) and vocational schools. Schools sampled list preparation for the national beauty licences (hair, nail, skin) as well as private and international credentials such as the CIDESCO Beauty and Aroma qualifications, which are examined by CIDESCO international examiners at approved schools.
