How To Choose The Best Medical Aesthetics School
Like choosing any other post-secondary school or institute of higher education, deciding which aesthetics school is right for you and your needs is based on several factors, including classroom size, type of training, overall student morale and much more.
It’s important to be informed and do your research when it comes time to pick which school to attend.
To help you during that process, here are some tips to help you choose the best medical aesthetics school for you!
How to Choose The Best Medical Aesthetics School
Consider The Type of Training Offered
When it comes to esthetics education, look for cosmetic laser and injectable programs that combine classroom theory and hands-on learning. It’s important to understand facial anatomy and how treatments interact with the body to administer cosmetic procedures effectively.
At National Laser Institute, our courses include didactic and clinical hands-on training to provide you with the ultimate learning experience. In the classroom, you will learn things like facial anatomy, the history of different treatments, and pre- and post-patient care. This will prepare you for your hands-on training.
During clinicals, you will treat a variety of scheduled clients in a medical spa environment. The classroom is broken up into small, intimate groups as you watch comprehensive laser demonstrations and your peers perform treatments. You will also perform treatments yourself with the instructor by your side to answer any questions.
Opportunities for Graduates
During your research, you should take note of the schools that have a Graduate Services Department. From the moment you step on campus, you will have access to National Laser Institute’s Graduate Services Department. Our knowledgeable staff is here to set students up for success after they graduate by providing resume help and job leads. Our team works around the clock to send out over 500 job leads a month to our alumni!
Once you graduate, you will receive access to our online medical aesthetic library, which has tons of information about the medical aesthetics field, including statistics, books and articles, equipment information, marketing resources, and much more!
School Licensing
During your research phase, it’s important to note the type of licensing each school has to ensure the best education and training experience possible. Attending the right school will provide you with the academic and practical knowledge you need to perform your future position properly and to the highest standard of excellence. These should be readily available on each school’s website.
National Laser Institute meets requirements and licensing from:
- The Arizona Board of Private Post-Secondary Education
- The Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency
- The American Academy of Family Physicians
- The Western Multi-State Division
- The Texas Department of State Health Services
- The Texas Workforce Commission
Experience From Alumni
Another factor to consider is what past students are saying. Alumni not only have first-hand experience with the programs, but their experiences also help prospective students have a good idea about the types of careers they can expect post-grad.
We teach thousands of students each year to become cosmetic laser technicians, and we love to hear their success stories and share them with you! We’ve created a testimonial page with reviews for prospective students to browse. You should do your research, ask around and find out what the buzz is for each school.
