FAQ

Who can become Dermalogica Certified?

Professional skin therapists and front desk staff at partnered salons and spas, and graduates of Dermalogica partnership schools in their six months after graduating.

How much does it cost?

Most workshops are complimentary for staff at partnered salons and spas, and for graduates of partnership schools for six months after graduating.

How long does it take?

Get Started with Dermalogica is 6 hours in person or 3 hours by livestream. Franchise Focus is 3 hours in person or 2 hours by livestream.

Should I take them in person or by livestream?

Both count the same. In person is recommended to get the most out of your day, as you’re able to play with the products and participate in activities as well as ask questions of the instructor throughout the day. Foundational classes run once a month at our Vancouver Learning Loft and our Toronto Training Centre, and twice a month by livestream at different times.

What do I need to complete a workshop?

At least 85% attendance and participation. Join on time and stay for the full session.

When do I get my certificate?

After you finish both workshops, by email. In-person Franchise Focus attendees also receive a printed copy at the end of the class. This can also be accessed anytime on Skinstudy under the Pathway > Certificates

Are workshops offered in French?

Yes. Choose “livestreaming en francais” under Location when you book to see French-language livestream workshops.

I just graduated. Where do I start?

See our students and graduates page for how to register and how your six months work.

What if I need to cancel?

Please cancel at least 48 hours ahead. See our booking and policies page for how, and for our no-show policy.
