We are looking forward to supporting you on your new CAREER!
State-Approved Esthetics Certification. Specialized Skills. Boutique Training That Delivers Career Results
Here’s the big picture: Certification Training Academy offers something rare in the esthetics space — a boutique, high-touch training experience that’s designed for students who want mastery, not just certification.
We limit enrollment to five students per quarter on purpose. This isn’t mass instruction; it’s personalized, one-on-one mentorship paired with real-world, hands-on learning. Our students gain direct access to expert instructors, live model practice, and business coaching that prepares them to move confidently into the beauty market.
Our programs are designed to stack specialized certifications: lash artistry, advanced microblading, brow design, hair extensions, and business launch skills. This layered expertise positions our graduates for immediate income opportunities, whether joining a salon, med spa, or launching their own independent brand.
The beauty and esthetics industry is a $60 billion global market, and Idaho’s local demand for skilled professionals in lash, brow, and skin services has grown over 100% in the past five years. Clients want experts. Salons want ready-to-go talent.
We are here for the student who’s ready to turn their ambition into a thriving, high-demand career — with the specialized training, one-on-one attention, and business support to make it happen.
