Does Skin Science Institute Offer Continuing Education for Licensed Estheticians?

Updated

Yes. Skin Science Institute lists a dedicated Continuing Ed track for licensed estheticians who want to expand their skills. According to the school's site, it covers "advanced skincare training and specialty certification courses" designed to help working estheticians "fine-tune" their skills and grow their service offerings. This is separate from the entry-level licensure programs, so it's aimed at people who already hold a license rather than beginners starting from zero.

Who the continuing education track is for

The school describes this track as "for the esthetician ready to grow." That framing points to a specific audience:

  • You already hold an esthetics license (or equivalent credential) and want to add services.
  • You want advanced training rather than a full initial licensure program.
  • You want specialty certifications you can fold into your existing menu of treatments.

If you're not yet licensed, this isn't the starting point — the school's licensure programs (see below) are the entry route.

How it differs from the licensure programs

The site separates its course catalog into initial licensure programs and continuing education. The listed licensure programs are:

Program Hours
Lash & Brow Technician 270
Intermediate Master Esthetician 600
Comprehensive Master Esthetics 1200
Instructor Internship 420

These are the programs that prepare students for licensure and employment. The Continuing Ed track is presented as a distinct offering for already-licensed professionals, not as one of these hour-based licensure paths.

What the advanced training connects to

The school also highlights advanced and medical esthetic exposure within its student experience — the site notes that students "assist in cosmetic injections, dermaplaning, and other advanced esthetic procedures, gaining real-world medical spa experience." For a licensed esthetician evaluating continuing education, this signals the direction of the advanced training: medical-adjacent and specialty services rather than only basic facial work.

What to confirm before enrolling

The site's public pages don't list specific continuing education course names, hours, prices, or schedules. To get those details, the practical next steps the school offers are:

  • Schedule a tour at the Sandy or Orem campus to ask about class schedules, tuition, and financial aid.
  • Request a free info pack about the programs.
  • Book a financial aid appointment if funding is a factor — the school says it helps with grants, loans, and funding options.

Because continuing education requirements and accepted certifications vary by state, confirm with the school (and your state board, if relevant) that a given course counts toward whatever you need it to count toward.
