THE PROGRAM
Beauty Business Essentials includes five on-demand courses covering topics such as Beauty Industry Entrepreneurship and Intrapreneurship, Product Development and Production Management, Building a Successful Beauty Brand, Beauty Business Marketing Strategies, and Retailing and Distribution. The total length of each course is 2-3 hours, and each course is broken into several shorter modules and activities that students complete at their own pace.
Courses are taught by the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) faculty. Students will also receive career insights from industry experts and leaders.
There are no other prerequisites. All you need is a passion for beauty business and learning.
Students must be at least 13 to participate.
Beauty Business Essentials is a non-credit program. Students who complete the program will earn a non-credit certificate in Beauty Business Essentials from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT).
By the end of the course, you will have developed skills and knowledge for a beauty entrepreneur or to advance a career in the beauty business. In addition, you will have received a non-credit certificate from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) that you can proudly add to your LinkedIn profile and your resume. It is a credential that can open doors to a future in the footwear industry. Plus, you will have explored the various career paths in the industry and identified your areas of passion and the career possibilities within the world of beauty.
Whenever you like — the program is entirely self-paced and on-demand. So you can study and access the program lessons whenever and wherever you want.
It varies from person to person, but be prepared to work hard and dedicate about 30-40 hours in total.
With your enrollment, you will have unlimited access to the entire program for one year from the day you enroll in the program.
After one year, if you need more time to complete the program, you will have an option to pay a monthly subscription fee to continue your access to the program materials.
We want you to succeed (and we love the environment)! That’s why we’ve kept all program materials online. You can access and review the materials whenever you like through the course login page, which you’ll receive once you enroll — all you need is an internet-connected device.
Class videos or materials are not downloadable. However, once enrolled, you will have unlimited access to all videos and materials for 12 months.
You can access the program on your computer, tablet, or smartphone, but the best experience is on your computer.
People with all experience levels and in all stages of their career benefit from enrolling in Beauty Business Essentials. But you will have something in common with all of our students — a passion for the beauty business and a desire to build a successful career doing what you love! Our students might aspire to start their own beauty business, already be working in the industry and looking to get ahead, or working in a different sector looking to switch careers. They might be heading to college, in college, or just out of college and want to build skills and gain valuable experience that will set them apart in a hyper-competitive industry. They might be your future professional and personal network in the beauty world. They might be like you — a future leader in the world of beauty!
This certificate will lay the groundwork for you to pursue your goals in whatever direction you choose. You might even find that you want to deepen your knowledge further.
