OUR TAKE ON EDUCATION

Traditionally, education has been a textbook and classroom instruction, with a mass amount of your "on the job" experiences really shaping who you become within your vocation. We embrace the textbook and classroom, but also provide one on one instruction with live demonstrations, hands-on work on models. We share our own experiences, our favorite tips and tricks, trade secrets, and provide lifelong mentoring relationships with our students. We believe that our personal educations are ones to share and that by sharing and educating we lift each other up! ​Our education doesn't end in the classroom. We provide on-going support for our students as well as discounted prices on other classes. Once you become part of the AMAPCA family, we want you to have access to as much education as affordably as possible!  ​

The difference between Aestheticians and Medical Aestheticians

Aestheticians are licensed professionals who are experts in maintaining and improving skin.  An aesthetician's general scope of practice is limited to the epidermis (the outer layer of skin). Aestheticians work in many different environments such as salons, day spas, skin care clinics, med spas and private practices. Aestheticians may also specialize in treatments such as microdermabrasion, microcurrent (also known as non-surgical "face lifts"), cosmetic electrotherapy treatments (galvanic current, high frequency), LED (light emitting diode) treatments, ultrasound/ultrasonic (low level), and mechanical massage (vacuum and g8 vibratory). The medical aesthetician must  undergo special advanced training for treatments such as laser hair removal, photo rejuvenation, IPL, microneedling, PRP, injectables and advanced chemical peels. While Medical Aesthetics is not recognized in the state of Idaho with licensing through our state board, there are many Advanced Aesthetics Certifications you can achieve. ​

"I have taken courses from both Aesthetics Academy of Idaho and Permanent Make Up of Idaho. All of the courses were fairly priced and a GREAT value for the money paid. The instructors are knowledgeable and kind, plus I learned everything I needed to know to start offering each service immediately and was able to continue to reach out to the instructors for additional help and information after the courses were completed. I can't recommend Aesthetics Academy of Idaho and Permanent Make Up of Idaho enough. If you are an aesthetician looking to continue your education, look no further."​

"I took the Dermaplaning course with Aesthetics Academy of Idaho shortly out of school and absolutely loved it! I can't say greater things of the team there. They had amazing communication, thorough training and created a great learning culture. I felt so comfortable asking questions and having informative conversations with them and the other estheticians taking the course. I enjoyed that we were able to talk through the treatment, see a model and then exchange on each other. It's the way I learn best to practice and then feel what's it is like. Honestly would reccomend them 100% for all their higher education courses!!"

“I took the spray tan course at Aesthetics of Idaho and loved it! If you are looking to start spray tanning, I highly recommend taking this course! Marti was so nice and helpful and her one day class was so valuable! Even after the course was completed, Marti made herself available if we had questions or needed any help! Highly recommend!”​
