The Master Esthetician Course is a 600-hour course designed to train students to become licensed Master Esthetician upon graduation. Students must successfully complete the program with at least a 75% average to be eligible to take the state board testing for licensing.
In Master Esthetics the primary purpose is to train the students in the advanced manipulative skills, safety judgements, proper work habits and desirable attitudes necessary to obtain an advanced position as a Master Esthetician, Medical Esthetics Technician, a Skin Care Therapist, a related career avenue.
Upon completion of the course, students will receive a certificate of completion, and will qualify to take a state board test to become licensed as a Master Esthetician. The state of Virginia currently does not require CEUs to maintain license. The license must be renewed every two years by paying the necessary fee.

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS
The clock hour education is provided through a sequential set of learning steps which address specific tasks necessary for state board preparation, graduation, and job entry level skills. Clinic equipment, implements, and products are comparable to those used in the industry. Each student will receive instruction that relates to the performance of useful, creative, and productive career-oriented activities. The course is presented through comprehensive lesson plans which reflect effective educational methods. Subjects are presented by means of interactive lectures, demonstration, cooperative learning, labs, student salon activities, and student participation. Audio-visual aids, portfolios, projects, activities, and other related learning methods are used in the course.
GRADING PROCEDURES
The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as determined by assigned academic learning. Students are assigned academic learning and a minimum number of practical experiences. Academic learning is evaluated after each unit of study. Practical assignments are evaluated as completed and counted toward course completion only when rated as satisfactory or better. If the performance does not meet satisfactory requirements, it is not counted, and the performance must be repeated. At least two comprehensive practical skills evaluations will be conducted during the study. Practical skills are evaluated according to text procedures and set forth in practical skills evaluation criteria adopted by the school. Students must maintain a written grade average of 75% and pass a FINAL written and practical exam prior to graduation. Students must make up for failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments. Numerical grades are considered according to the following scale:
93 - 100 ------------- EXCELLENT
85 - 92 --------------- VERY GOOD
75 - 84 --------------- SATISFACTORY
74 and BELOW --- UNSATISFACTORY
