Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change recognition status, verification or order.

About beauty training and licensing in Thailand

How beauty training is organised

Beauty training in Thailand researched so far falls into three groups: private spa and beauty academies in Bangkok that pair their own diplomas with CIBTAC (UK) awards, private makeup academies running short fixed-length programmes, and universities such as Mae Fah Luang University, whose School of Cosmetic Science offers a four-year B.Sc. in Beauty Technology taught in English. Chiva-Som International Academy states that its curriculum is approved by the Thai Ministry of Education. Thai-language private vocational beauty schools were not reachable through searchable official sites in this pass.
