About the ISSNMT Senior Skin Care Program and Advanced Classes
We are pleased to present our Senior Skin Care program to you as the final phase of your aesthetic training here at ISSNMT. Our accelerated skin care curriculum exceeds the Georgia State Board requirements for licensure by additionally providing you with the most contemporary and technologically advanced information in areas of clinical and medical esthetics. This training is provided to you in addition to your required curriculum courses. We are certain that this training will add to your fundamental skill sets, and provide you with additional tools to build upon during your career as a licensed aesthetician.
We would like to share some insight regarding licensure and certification in the clinical and medical esthetics field. At this time – the state of Georgia does not grant nor recognize a “medical aesthetician”
license. Currently there are a few states in the U.S. that grant a separate medical aesthetician license apart from the state aesthetic license. These particular states require additional training and hours in order to receive this type of licensure.
Licensure is defined as: official or legal permission to perform a craft, trade or service recognized by national, state or international laws and guidelines. Upon completion of your training at ISSNMT and the required exit formalities- you will be eligible to sit for your state board exams to receive your aesthetic license. This license is issued by state authorities and is recognized in the United States. Although the hour requirements may vary from state to state – this is a transferrable license.
At the completion of senior training at ISSNMT we award certificates for completion of certain subjects, equipment training and practical skills. These certificates will be awarded to students providing:
1. Your academic and financial standing is maintained throughout your tenure 2. You have satisfactorily completed the required course material
3. Your instructor has approved of your performance in order to receive the certificate
These are “certificates of completion” under ISSNMT guidelines for our specific classes and equipment use. They are important for your career resume as accolades and accomplishments. However, they should not be compared to or considered “licensure” as a final means for a particular aspect of training.
Certification is defined as an official document that gives proof and details regarding educational achievements, and authenticity of training. There are also many manufacturers and individual aesthetic firms offer “certification” for their product and equipment training, however this is not recognized as license to perform medical procedures or operate machines deemed as clinical that may require a medical or nursing license.
About Our Advanced Training Classes
ISSNMT fosters a policy and commitment to higher learning on all levels. Students may take a valuable opportunity to further enrich their training through special guest educators, artists and lecturers. Some of the advanced topics include: Advanced Medical Esthetics, Fashion Runway & Photography Makeup, European Fantasy Makeup, Intro to Cosmetic Chemistry, and many others subjects from skin care, professional makeup artistry, nail care, business, and massage therapy.
These advanced training classes may be attended by any licensed skin care, nail care, massage or cosmetology professional. Skin care students are welcome to attend when they reach 300 clock hours.
These classes are considered continuing education, and therefore do not accrue credits nor hours for attending them. As an extracurricular activity, there is a fee to attend these classes that

is not included in costs for tuition, nor can the fee be financed through financial aid.
Why take Advanced Training?
Advanced training certificates are awarded for satisfactorily completing the prescribed class work and practical exercises for the respective class. Advanced training adds credence to your list of career credits and accomplishments – giving you that professional edge.
We attempt to have our advanced classes “CE certified” by the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology which would render them recognized credits for your required state license renewal (once you have your license). However, not all of our classes may be approved for this purpose. For a complete list and description of our signature ISSNMT Advanced Training Classes please visit our website.
Thank you for considering ISSNMT as your educational partner in the beauty and wellness industry. We strive to give our students and graduates more the “minimum” to pass State Boards. We look forward to challenging you to be the very best skin care professional and to leave ISSNMT with a sense of accomplishment, pride and skills to provide you with a wonderful career in this exciting industry.
