EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES

RECOGNIZED PRIOR LEARNING PROGRAM

Fast-Track Your Path to the CIDESCO Beauty Therapy Diploma

The CIDESCO Recognized Prior Learning (RPL) program is designed for licensed, experienced estheticians who want to earn the prestigious CIDESCO Beauty Therapy Diploma without going back to school or repeating education they already have.

Instead of a full-time training program, RPL evaluates and credits the professional knowledge you’ve gained through your license, continuing education, and real-world experience. If you meet the eligibility requirements, you can complete the CIDESCO Post-Graduate Beauty Therapy curriculum through independent study, structured preparation, and a final CIDESCO examination.

This pathway is ideal for working professionals who want to elevate their credentials, expand career opportunities, or pursue international recognition—while still maintaining their day-to-day business.

The Prep Course will be available starting 12/10/2025.

The cost of earning your CIDESCO Diploma in the USA through the RPL Program is $1,448.00.
