Helping Estheticians raise standards with national credentialing and continuing education accreditation.
The NCEA Certified credential is awarded to those who have achieved a passing score on the national exam that evaluates the Esthetician’s skills and knowledge at a 1200-hour competency level. The National Esthetician Certification is setting standards necessary for the growth of our profession, and provides an affordable pathway for endorsement and/or reciprocity, (exchanging your license) so you can move to another state with higher hours, and/or get an Advanced or Master Esthetician License. (in applicable states)
Attaining the National Esthetician Certification is the highest voluntary credential in the United States–raising the standards of our profession beyond entry-level licensure. The NCEA Certified credential signifies the value and credibility for consumers in determining the expertise and training of an Esthetician. The NCEA Certified credentialing exam provides a standardized, valid, legally defensible exam using psychometric principles.
Many states are now recognizing in rule or law that the NCEA Certified credential can be used for equivalency, thereby allowing the Esthetician to exchange their license in that state. (and saving the Estheticians $$ from going back to school.) By ensuring the Esthetician’s competency through the NCEA Certified credential, a state regulatory board can meet their mission of protecting the consumer, and keep Estheticians working in the profession they love.
