"Since starting the Esthetics program at Centennial College I have had some very positive experiences.  The teachers are great and very dedicated to the students, always making sure the students understand what is being taught and giving students individual help when needed.  After completing the first year of the program I am presently working in a spa and am finding all the knowledge I have acquired and the techniques and tricks I have learned very helpful when performing services and interacting with clients.  Overall this hear has been a very good start and I am excited to learn more this fall".  (Kate, Esthetics Year 1 student, 2009)

"I am really enjoying this program because it brought out my personality a lot more when it comes to getting my work done.  I've learned a lot about the safety of a spa and infectious diseases.  Because of the clinic classes, I also have learned how deal with clients in a real spa setting.  Overall I really feel like this program is perfect for me and there is nothing else I would rather be doing than make people feel good and look good....."  (Natasha Henry, Esthetics Year 1 student, 2009)
