What is the Expert Program?
The Dermalogica Expert Program is a global initiative that recognizes exceptional professional skin therapists who have invested in their education to become the ultimate skin health guides for their clients.
Being a Dermalogica Expert is a mark of trust and credibility, representing the highest level of expertise in the industry. Clients who seek advice from a Dermalogica Expert can rest assured that they will receive not only the best treatment in the spa, but also personalized recommendations for at-home care, product usage, and ingredient information tailored to their unique lifestyle and preferences.
The Expert Program is offered in over 80 countries worldwide at Dermalogica training centers, and involves a combination of hands-on and theoretical workshops, culminating in a practical assessment.
With over 4,700 students participating in Dermalogica workshops at our training centers across Canada, we are proud to recognize 300+ Dermalogica Experts across the nation.
Here's how the Dermalogica Expert Program works:
After completing our Dermalogica D.N.A. course, you will be granted Dermalogica Certification. From there, you can choose to complete the workshops for the Specialist and Expert tiers in any order you prefer. Upon completing each tier, you will receive a certificate recognizing your accomplishment.
To qualify for the Expert Assessment, you must register for and complete all 12 workshops listed on our checklist.
For those who are nervous about their Assessment, we offer our Expert Prep workshop. This is run like a mock assessment, and will require a model (if livestreaming, you will also need product, and a working camera and mic). This is a chance for you to perform the ProSkin 60 under the eye of an instructor, who will be able to give you feedback and tips, so when you register for your Assessment you are feeling confident.
