Diploma Program

Comprehensive Aesthetics

The most complete aesthetics diploma in Western Canada. NIWE’s Comprehensive Aesthetics Diploma combines spa services in Term 1 with advanced medical aesthetic treatments in Term 2 — giving you the skills, credentials, and confidence to go in any direction. One diploma. 12+ certificates. Endless possibilities.

Not sure what Comprehensive Aesthetics means? Here’s the short version: It’s two programs in one. In Term 1 you master spa services — facials, waxing, nails, lash and brow artistry. In Term 2 you advance into medical aesthetics — laser, microneedling, chemical peels, and body contouring. You graduate with 12+ certificates and the ability to work in a luxury spa, a medical clinic, or your own business. It’s the most complete esthetics training available in Calgary.
