Training Requirements at Esthetician Schools In Quebec

There are no specific license requirements for becoming a skincare specialist in Quebec. There are many registered beauty schools that offer courses in skin disease, massage training, electrolysis, and wax hair removal technique, among other things.

You will also learn about building a business and how to take care of your clients. Some things can even be learned from home!

Though you’re not required to finish a formal training program to work as a skin care specialist, most schools in Quebec offer off-campus training and even internships that can help boost your career.

Internships may involve work at a spa, salon, massage parlor, or medical esthetician’s office, depending on preference and the school of your choosing. Top schools include Canadian Beauty College and Academy Edith Serei.

An interest in beauty and health is a key asset in a career in esthetics. Also important are your customer service skills and ability to work with your hands.

In addition to your diploma courses, you may also choose to be certified in particular areas of skin care, whether you choose hair removal, skin care for patients with cancer, or even skin disease. Often, a career in esthetics can open doors to even bigger and brighter opportunities!

Out-of-Province Licensing

Because Quebec doesn’t have licensing requirements, you will not need to provide specific licensing to get work out of the province. However, you will want to keep a detailed work history, along with any certifications and specializations you do have.
