Susanne S. Warfield – NCEA’s Founder & Executive Director and 27-year Esthetician, became NCEA Certified! “This voluntary certification will show our state regulatory boards the standards that we want our industry to aspire to, and further assist the boards in their role of protecting consumers, states Ms. Warfield. By becoming certifed, this will provide NCEA with the political clout it needs to get the legislators to listen and support bills providing higher education & standards, so that skin care professionals can meet the technological advancements facing our industry.”
The launching of the NCEA Certification Program was the culmination of seven years of hard work and commitment by NCEA’s membership. The coalition’s 14 Association members, 90+ Manufacturers/Distributors and 1,000+ Individual members united and committed to the goals of “defining and conveying standards of practice” for the skin care professional.
NCEA secured the use of the 1200 Hour Esthetician exam provided by the National- Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology (NIC) for use in the NCEA National Certification Program. In a continuing effort to raise the standards for the skin care professional PCI urges you to become NCEA Certified and support National Standards, Mobility, and International Recognition for our profession.
NCEA is pleased to announce the addition of four NCEA Approved Training Facilities in the Northeast and Virginia. These locations offer the NCEA 7 Hour Prep Class. This course will overview the sections of the training manual and provide a formal classroom setting. Your instructor will work through each section giving you the opportunity to discuss and ask questions. Some may elect to take this class as the opportunity to work with an instructor stimulates visual learning and it helps validate what you already know.
These locations may also offer instruction on other NCEA Curriculums such as:
7 Hour Light Emitting Diode
14 Hour Microdermabrasion
21 Hour Chemical Exfoliation
42 Hour Laser and Light
Additionally, you may have the opportunity to attend other Post-Graduate class at these training facilities.
