Admissions openNo medical degree needed · ADCT, CMM, CBGF

Every salon on your road offers the same things. That is the problem worth solving.

You already know how to do this work. What you may not have yet are treatments nobody nearby can offer, and a way of talking to clients that makes price the last thing they ask about.

I2CAN’s cosmetology and trichology courses are for practising beauty professionals, salon owners and makeup artists rather than doctors. They cover machine-based skin and hair work, microblading, micropigmentation and BB Glow, taught through supervised hands-on practice. What a non-medical professional may lawfully perform is narrower than what a registered medical practitioner may, and we state that boundary plainly.

01 / What you can enrol in

Three programmes for
beauty professionals.

One broad diploma and two focused certificates. Most people take the diploma first and add a certificate later, but they work in either order. No fees are published here; a counsellor will talk you through what applies to you.

The main diploma

Advanced Diploma in Cosmetology & Trichology

  • Classroom: 3 weeks, Monday to Friday
  • Online: 3 weeks + 1 week hands-on
  • Pune · Navi Mumbai · Mathura · Hyderabad
  • Entry: 10th pass

Takes an experienced beauty professional to working competence across machine-based skin and hair treatments, and teaches the assessment and consultation that decide which treatment a client actually needs.

Indicative modulesSkin and hair anatomy · skin analysis and client consultation · acne and acne marks · chemical peels · pigmentation · anti-ageing · radiofrequency · lasers and IPL · trichology · medicated facials · microdermabrasion

Free re-attendance in any future batch, for life.

Certificate

Certificate in Microblading & Micropigmentation

  • Classroom: 4 days
  • Day 1 theory, days 2 to 4 hands-on
  • Online: not available

Low investment and usually the fastest of anything we teach to pay for itself. Semi-permanent work needs very little equipment and is a service few salons nearby can offer.

Indicative modulesColour wheel and pigment mixing · microblading · ombre and powder brows · lip colour and lip liner · scalp micropigmentation · vitiligo camouflage · beauty spots

Certificate

Certificate in BB Glow Facial

  • Classroom: 1 Day, non-doctor format
  • Online: not available

The BB Glow semi-permanent treatment end to end, as a short addition to a salon menu. Many people take it straight after CMM as one five-day block.

Indicative modulesSkin preparation · serum selection · application technique · client consultation · aftercare

Not included, and why. Injectable procedures, PRP, Botox and dermal fillers are not open to non-medical practitioners under Indian regulation, so we do not teach them here and no reputable institute should. The eligibility guide explains the boundary in full. Registered doctors have their own track: courses for doctors.

Support that outlasts the course

When a client walks in next year with a concern you have not treated before, you will want somewhere to take the question. Our alumni have that: a group where the faculty and the professionals who trained before you answer, usually the same day. All of it is included, none of it expires, and there is no subscription attached.

Come back any time

Re-attend the diploma in any future batch, without limit and without paying again, for as long as you practise.

The support group

Post a case or a question. Faculty and professionals who trained before you answer, usually the same day.

Free monthly sessions

Regular online sessions on what is new: treatments, machines, techniques. Open to every alumnus.

Machines and products

Guidance on what to buy and when, and the option to source machines and consumables through our partners.

Once a year the community meets in person at Aesthetix, our aesthetics congress, with sessions and live demonstrations. See the congress ↗ · Upcoming conferences

02 / Why upgrade now

Ask yourself
five questions.

Not about whether you are good at this. You already are. About whether being good is still enough.

  1. Does every salon near you offer more or less the same list of services?
  2. When a new place opens and drops its prices, do you have an answer other than dropping yours?
  3. Do clients ask you for results you currently have to send somewhere else?
  4. Would you rather be consulted about a problem than asked for a facial?
  5. And do you want to charge for what you know, not only for the hour you spend?

If those five are true, you need a different kind of setup.

Two things separate a salon from a centre. Treatments that need training and equipment, which is exactly why the place down the road will not have them. And a consultation that identifies what is actually wrong before anything is recommended. The first can be bought. The second cannot, and it is the one clients remember.

04 / How it is taught

Think like a clinician, and
be seen as one.

Anyone can learn to run a machine. What changes a business is being the person who works out what is actually wrong, explains it clearly, and recommends a plan the client believes in.

The approach

Assess first, recommend second

How to look at a skin or a scalp and identify the real problem. How to ask the right questions. How to plan treatment across several sessions instead of selling one. And how to say all of that so the client can hear that you know what you are talking about, which is the moment price stops mattering.

The technique

Learn each treatment properly

The theory behind every procedure, then the procedure itself on real clients, under supervision, until it feels comfortable. Written protocols for each one, so nothing depends on how good your notes were on the day.

The order is deliberate and the same for everybody we teach: understand the concept, watch it applied to a real person, then do it yourself. Cases run right through the programme rather than appearing at the end, so you keep using what you just learned instead of storing it up. That is what makes it stick, and why people leave confident rather than merely certified.

The sequence, the number of cases, the balance of theory and practice and the point at which you first work on a client are fixed, and the same in every batch at every centre.

“The best hands-on I have seen anywhere.”

Our students say it more often than anything else, across 1,000+ Google reviews averaging 4.9. Read them by centre.

05 / The long view

You are not enrolling in a course.
You are joining a community.

You already have a business. What follows the course matters more than the course, because the difficult questions arrive after you get back and start using what you learned.

  1. Upgrade

    Learn what others nearby cannot do

    Machine-based treatments and the consultation approach behind them, taught on real clients with written protocols to take away.

  2. Apply

    Put it into the setup you already run

    Which machine to buy first, what it lets you offer, and where to source it, through our partners if you want.

  3. Differentiate

    Become the place people are sent to

    When you offer what nobody nearby offers, and consult the way nobody nearby consults, price stops being the conversation.

  4. Grow

    From a salon to a centre

    More treatments, better clients, staff you can train yourself. Several of our alumni have made exactly that move.

06 / What you are certified by

Every programme carries an I2CAN qualification.

The Advanced Diploma at Pune and Navi Mumbai additionally leads to a Beauty & Wellness Sector Skill Council examination and the Aesthetic Skin Technician certificate.

These are vocational qualifications, not university degrees. No accreditation I2CAN holds confers any right to practise.

  • Beauty & Wellness Sector Skill Council
  • ISO 9001:2015
  • International Accreditation Organization
  • International Accreditation Forum

08 / Common questions

Questions beauty professionals
ask us.

Answered fully here rather than behind an enquiry form.

Whether it is for you

I already run a salon. What does this actually add?

Treatments your competitors cannot offer without training and equipment, and a way of consulting that changes what a client thinks they are buying. Most salons compete on service and price. This is how you stop doing that.

How is this different from the short courses I have already done?

Length, depth and what you practise on. You work on real clients rather than watch demonstrations, you leave with written protocols for every procedure, and you can come back and do the diploma again free if you want more repetitions.

Is 10th pass really enough?

That is the formal requirement, yes. But the diploma is built for people who already work in the field and have clients of their own. If you are just starting out, tell the counsellor: there may be a better order to do things in.

Can I do this while still running my salon?

Yes. The online ADCT format with a separate hands-on week exists for exactly that. You may also defer your admission by up to six months, or move between batches, by telling your counsellor in advance.

What you may and may not do

What am I not allowed to do?

Any procedure that breaks the skin with a needle or delivers a substance beneath it is a medical act in India: Botox, dermal fillers, PRP, mesotherapy and every injectable procedure. We do not teach them to non-medical students, and you should be cautious of any institute that offers to. The eligibility guide explains the boundary in full.

What certificate do I get, and does it mean anything?

An I2CAN diploma or certificate for every programme. The Advanced Diploma taken at Pune or Navi Mumbai also lets you sit a Beauty & Wellness Sector Skill Council examination and receive the Aesthetic Skin Technician certificate. These are vocational qualifications, not university degrees, and no accreditation I2CAN holds confers any right to practise.

Will clinics employ me with this?

I2CAN is not a placement agency and does not promise placement. We do have tie-ups with more than thirty clinic chains for interview introductions, and we give interview guidance and feedback.

The practical side

Do I need to buy machines before I can start?

No. Part of the diploma is working out which machine makes sense first for the clients you have and the space you work in. Afterwards we help you choose and, if you want, source it through our partners.

How much does it cost to set up properly?

There is no single figure, and anyone who gives you one without asking questions is guessing. It depends on your city, your space, which treatments you want to offer and the standard of machine you choose. A counsellor can talk it through once they know your plan.

Will I work on real clients during the course?

Yes, across every procedure taught. Not models, not mannequins. If you want more repetitions than the batch allows, you can re-attend the diploma’s hands-on sessions at no cost.

Can I re-attend later without paying again?

Yes for the Advanced Diploma: any future batch, no time limit, subject only to seat availability. The short certificates, CMM and CBGF, are not included in free re-attendance.

What language is the teaching in?

Hindi and English at every centre, with Marathi in Pune and Navi Mumbai and Telugu in Hyderabad. Say what you are comfortable with when you enquire.

How large are the batches?

Rarely more than thirty. Hands-on time per person is the limit, so batches are capped rather than filled.

The first conversation

Costs nothing, and commits you to nothing.

Tell us what you run now and what you are trying to build. If a programme fits, we will say which one and why. If the timing is wrong, we will say that too. It is better said now than after you have paid.
