Learning at Derma aesthetic academy has been an ultimate experience for me. Prior to my admission, I had little knowledge of what was expected to treat skin issues or maintain a healthy skin. Not only am I an improved version of myself. Now, I have better knowledge of beauty therapy, a proper understanding of facial treatments, massages, waxing and what products to recommend to my clients regarding any skin concerns. Even my skin can testify. Thank you Miss Sandra.

If you are looking to have a good foundation or to advance your career in skincare/esthetics, I must recommend Derma Esthetics. My experience there is one that can't be forgotten so soon. My educator was by far the best as she was really patient, friendly but yet very disciplined and professional in all levels. I did my advanced courses there and so far it's been so good, no regrets. I am a practicing Med Aesthetician today all thanks to Derma Academy.

Being an Advanced Skincare student at Derma Aesthetic Academy remains one of my best learning experience. I say this because the teaching style is hands on and very practical yet comprehensive. The training required me to work with people to resolve real skin issues. This helped me improve my confidence level. The most amazing part of my training was learning how to combine different therapies to resolve various skin issues and get quality professional skincare products at the best prices. The lead educator Ms Sandra Ovie has an amazing personality. She has a wealth of experience in the beauty industry and she makes learning fun and memorable.

I never thought i could become a beauty therapist judging from the fact that just i am a school certificate holder. I was an art student in secondary school but at Derma Aesthetics Academy all the sciencific terminologies were broken down into simply English for me to understand. I registered for the Combination courses Level 1 and later came back to complete Combination courses Level 2. I have been working as a beauty therapist for 2years.Thank you for my overall experience.
