Earning NCEA’s Lifetime Certification Award is an honor and a privilege. I passed the National Esthetician Certification exam in 2012 as a student at Victoria’s Academy of Cosmetology. Renewing my certification with Advanced Study Sections, COA-Approved Continuing Education (CEs) requirements, allowed me to earn my NCEA Certified Lifetime Status. Maintaining my certification has given both my clients and myself, the confidence to know that I am practicing within my scope, elevating my skills, and following the Code of Ethics with our nation’s highest standards for skincare professionals.
