Collin College Continuing Education is offering exfoliating and rejuvenating programs

Collin College can help you alleviate stress and bring out your inner beauty. Students, community members, and employers can take advantage of new Continuing Education (CE) Esthetician and Medical Massage Therapy programs and receive affordable skin care and therapeutic services.

CE’s Esthetician program welcomed its first cohort earlier this year. The program is an entry-level, noncredit certificate designed to prepare students for state licensure. Students are provided with the skills, knowledge, and training necessary to transition into thriving careers as facial estheticians and skin care specialists. The program consists of 750 state-required classroom and lab training hours. 

“Because we’re a community college, one of the rewarding pieces of this program is that we’re offering the esthetician services to the community,” said Ketia Bradley, program coordinator for the Esthetician program.  “On April 22, we opened our esthetician services to our community neighbors and already had a waiting list of excited new clients ready to experience our skin care treatments.”

To schedule an appointment with a student esthetician, call 972.985.3764 or email CEEsthetic@collin.edu.

The new Medical Massage Therapy program is scheduled to launch this summer, pending regulatory approval. This program will train students for a certification to become licensed medical massage therapists, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to serve patients with medical conditions and provide general spa treatment.

“We are very excited about this program,” said Nicole Green, Medical Massage Therapy coordinator. “In this program, students will have an opportunity to learn the medical skills required to work in a physician’s office and the general massage therapy skills required for a spa. This is a distinctive program because it is a part of a community college and not a small or independent training institute or academy. Students will be able to enroll in other courses in addition to the Medical Massage Therapy program all while attending Collin College.”
