I have really enjoyed Ms. Gina's online class! She is an awesome teacher and breaks down the material for comprehensive and does not overwhelm.

Elaine Sterling has not only been a great instructor, but has continued to lead her students. I now own a medical spa and Elaine continues to provide guidance and clinical advice for me. I appreciate and admire her ambition in this field and look forward to her continued support.

Elaine, it was my pleasure to get to know you and have you as my mentor during my time as your student during my introduction to esthetics. Without your expertise and approval I may not have had the confidence I needed to face such a major career change. Thank you so much!

I am really glad I took the laser class offered at The Elaine Sterling Institute. Elaine’s school is very nice & professional. Tony Stanfill is an excellent instructor and she is very thorough in teaching laser safety and education. I thought there was plenty of hands on experience with the different lasers. After taking the class, I got offered a position at a dermatology practice.
Students provide services related to the program they are in. For instance, a student in the esthetics program may provide facial treatments or waxing services. A student in the nail care program could do a manicure and pedicure for a client, and a student in the massage therapy program could provide a hot stone massage. All services provided by students are performed under the direct supervision of a licensed instructor.
While we cannot guarantee employment, we do have a very active job placement department that connects employers with our students and graduates. Our high standards of professionalism and rigorous training help make our students desirable to employers looking for skilled professionals to work for them.
