CIDESCO Certificates
Take Your Career Further with a CIDESCO Qualification
In 2018, CIDESCO developed three new certificates in response to the changes and needs within the beauty and spa industry globally. The Institute of Cosmetology, Esthetics & Massage offers their certificates to continue to maintain the highest standards of professional education.
A student obtaining a CIDESCO certificate or diploma is assured that the qualification will be recognized and respected worldwide within the beauty and spa industry. CIDESCO graduates will continue to stand out in the increasingly competitive skills market, whether through earning a certificate or a diploma. Each certificate examination consists of three parts – a theoretical examination, a practical examination and project with case histories. ICE&M graduates are eligible to sit for the CIDESCO certificate exam within one year of graduation. Licensed massage therapists and estheticians that did not graduate from ICE&M must have three years of professional experience to sit for the certificate exam.
