Our flagship internationally-benchmarked diploma — facial, body and skin therapy from first principles to a job-ready treatment standard.
From S$9,800total course fee Details
Overview
A post-graduate diploma that builds on a beauty-therapy foundation. It deepens skin diagnosis, advanced facial protocols and the professional habits an aesthetics clinic expects — taught with a firm, honest boundary around what does and does not fall to a therapist.
Who it’s for: Working therapists with a beauty-therapy diploma who want to specialise and move into an aesthetics clinic.

What you will learn
The advanced diploma assumes you already hold a beauty-therapy qualification and want to specialise. Over five months part-time you go deeper into skin diagnosis, advanced facial protocols, the responsible use of professional skincare actives, and the consultation skills a discerning clinic client expects. It is built for the therapist who wants to move up rather than start over.
We spend the hours on advanced practical work and structured case studies — multi-session treatment plans, before-and-after documentation, and the careful record-keeping a clinic runs on. You learn to manage expectations honestly, recognise when a concern is outside a therapist’s scope, and refer on professionally rather than over-treat.
You finish with a recognised advanced diploma and a portfolio of documented treatment outcomes. We are explicit that this is advanced therapy training, not medical training; where a procedure requires a doctor or a regulated practitioner, we say so plainly and point you to the correct further pathway.
