With all of the Medical Esthetics schools springing up these days why is it necessary to have separate Laser Hair Removal Schools? Surely the logical thing to do would be to combine the two and offer a complete curriculum and give the student a true sense of completion. What is this saying about the instructors, are they really the “best qualified” for the job when there are major aspects of Medical Esthetics that the cannot teach? Understandably there are always advancements in the field but is that enough of a justification to be behind in the curve.
After some consideration as to what the important attributes of an Esthetics school would be, i decided not to mention some of the more obvious ones and to think about some of the complaints that i’ve heard from friends that have been through some of the various schools and programs. I’m only mentioning three that stood out to me.
One of the first things that I am aware of when looking at different training schools is the shocking variance in standards between different facilities. It is simply a given that all experience for students should be on-site, and permanent medical staff must be there to help students every step of the way. Medical professionalism in all aspects of the course, whether in the classroom or within the context of practical experience, is of the upmost importance and training in these procedures with teacher stability and reliability follows closely in second place. Students need the opportunity to learn from Instructors that they can trust, not only so they can further hone their skills, but so that they can feel confident and capable with their own growing abilities. Nothing compares to hands on experience, side-by-side with qualified and competent estheticians and medical professionals.
Instructors need to be involved in the curriculum. A teacher that feels like they have a deciding voice in what they are teaching will be much more connected to their students, couple that with permanent teaching staff and the student will feel that they they are getting the quality education that they are paying for. It is interesting to note that in mainstream universities and colleges the idea of there being non permanent staff would seem ridiculous and would have many students and parents in an uproar.
Going above and beyond is exactly what is necessary to qualify as a true educator and instructor but that is what’s lacking in so many instructor’s attitudes today. Thinking back to my own time in education, I remember that the classes I was most enthusiastic about were the ones where the lecturer took genuine interest in each of us and encouraged me to achieve my best. The true desire to help students creates a far more engaging and appropriate atmosphere for learning than anything else. An academy who’s instructors care and that provides more classroom time in order to best prepare its students, is an academy who’s graduates give clients phenomenal results.
Whether it be an Esthetics Academy, Day Spa or a Laser Hair Removal School, there is categorically no substitute for professionalism whilst teaching, stability within the classroom, practical experience and most importantly, the pursuit of excellence.
