Results are listed alphabetically. There is no price ranking: prices in different currencies and bases (per day, per course, per year, per instalment) are not comparable. Courses for teens and children appear only when you choose a youth audience. Online programs are never counted as physically located in a state or city. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change recognition status, verification or order.

What medical esthetician training covers

  • Advanced skin analysis and conditions
  • Pre- and post-procedure skin care
  • Treatments that go beyond basic cosmetic scope, where the local rules allow
  • Working with medical staff

Typical routes

Courses are normally post-qualification and assume an existing licence or registration. Some are offered by colleges, some by private academies and some by manufacturers. Whether a treatment may be performed by an esthetician at all depends on the jurisdiction.

Before you choose a course

  • Who the course is for and what prerequisites are required
  • Whether an existing professional registration is required
  • Which treatments are covered and whether they are permitted where you will practise
  • The jurisdiction the provider describes
  • Which authority, if any, approves the school or the course for the place where you want to work
  • Contact hours and practical hours, shown separately from elapsed time
  • Whether the certificate is an attendance record, an assessed provider award or an external qualification

Regulated or invasive training

Programs involving needles, lasers, injectables or prescription products must state their audience, prerequisites and scope. If a provider does not, this directory holds the record back for review rather than presenting it as beginner training. We describe educational pathways, not treatments.
