Why a NCEA Certified Professional?

NCEA Certified (National Coalition of Estheticians, Manufacturers/Distributors & Associations) is the professional status awarded to a skin care professional that has met the competency standards as set-forth by NCEA's 1200 Hour Esthetician Job Task Analysis. It represents the highest skin care credential available in the United States and adherence to the code of ethics of the profession.

When a licensed esthetician becomes NCEA Certified, it means that the esthetician has, in addition to state licensure examinations:

• Completed Six Knowledge Review sections on Ethics/Professionalism, Medical Professional Interaction, Client Care and Sciences of the Skin, Professional Treatments, Risk Management and Business.
• Passed a rigorous computer-based examination administered by proctors at a third-party testing facility.

NCEA Certified Professionals are also members of the National Coalition of Estheticians, Manufacturers/Distributors & Associations. (NCEA)
