Turn Your Passion for Beauty Into a Professional Career

The programme duration is 1 year.

The programme is suitable for aspiring as well as practising beauty professionals seeking comprehensive training across face, body and electrotherapy treatments.

Yes. The programme includes theory, trainer demonstrations and supervised practical training. Model-based practice is subject to suitability and availability.

The programme covers facial skincare, professional electrotherapy, advanced skin treatments and non-invasive body and slimming treatments.

The programme certification pathway includes CIDESCO Diploma in Beauty Therapy, KHDA, IAO Certificate and Elite Body Home Academy Certification, subject to successful completion of the applicable requirements.

No. Completion of the programme does not itself issue a DHA licence. Licensing eligibility depends on the learner's qualifications, assessment results, professional scope and applicable regulatory requirements.

A maximum of 10 learners per class. When a class reaches ten, enrolment for that class closes and the next intake is offered. Small groups mean more supervised practice time and more individual correction.

CIDESCO requires at least 1,200 hours of practical and theoretical training in a registered school, followed by its examination: a facial examination, a body examination, a written multiple-choice paper, and a written project with case histories (2,500–4,000 words, 70% pass mark).

No — and be cautious of any school that promises one. What EBH provides is career preparation: CV and interview guidance, consultation practice, and documented practical work you can show an employer. Hiring decisions always belong to employers.

Third-party market data (Indeed, updated August 2026) shows licensed and experienced beauty therapists in Dubai earning 8,000 to 15,000 a month — Jumeirah averages about 8,000 a month and live Dubai postings for licensed skin and laser therapists advertise up to 15,000. Actual earnings vary by experience, role, licensing, employer, commission and client base; these are market figures, not guaranteed outcomes.

CIDESCO is an international beauty and aesthetics awarding body with a worldwide network of registered schools, so its diploma is recognised well beyond the UAE. Recognition for a specific job or licence abroad always depends on that country's own rules.

Yes. You can arrange an academy visit, see the training environment and speak directly with a course advisor before making your decision.

CIDESCO (Comité International d'Esthétique et de Cosmétologie) is the Swiss-based international standard for beauty and spa therapy education, founded in 1946 and headquartered in Zurich. A CIDESCO Diploma in Beauty Therapy is one of the most internationally recognised beauty qualifications you can hold — every diploma carries a unique verification number an employer anywhere in the world can check.

EBH Academy is listed in the official CIDESCO school directory (reference AE763). You can read more about the awarding body at cidesco.com.

All are respected awarding bodies. CIDESCO is the oldest international standard (est. 1946) and among the most demanding: at least 1,200 training hours in a registered school, a four-part examination, and 600 hours of documented salon or spa work experience before the full diploma is awarded. That rigour is exactly why employers in Dubai and abroad trust it. If your goal is an internationally portable beauty therapy career, CIDESCO is the qualification built for it.

Verify, don't trust. A legitimate beauty training institute in Dubai lets you check everything yourself: its listing in the official CIDESCO directory, KHDA approval, the DHA licence of its facility, and real Google reviews under its own name.

Red flags to walk away from anywhere: guaranteed-job promises, pressure discounts that expire "today only", no fee structure in writing, and certificates from bodies you cannot look up. We put our accreditations and our 219 Google reviews at the top of this page so you can check us before you ever speak to us.

It is a serious, internationally examined diploma — facial and body practical examinations, a written project with case histories and a written paper — and that is precisely why it carries weight. Two things should reassure you. First, our students have a 100% passing rate, because in a class of ten we prepare you until you are ready, not until the course ends. Second, CIDESCO itself permits two free re-takes within two years of a first attempt — one exam day never wipes out a year of work.

Many of our students work, run homes or raise families alongside the programme — it is designed as a part-time-friendly, one-year pathway rather than a full-time college schedule. Tell admissions your working hours and they will walk you through the current timetable and intake options before you commit to anything.

No — and you would not even be unusual. Career changers in their 30s and 40s join every intake: cabin crew, hospitality professionals, mothers returning to work. A class capped at ten students exists exactly so a patient trainer can meet you where you are. The question is not your age. It is whether you want the next ten years to look like the last ten.

Students on family sponsorship regularly train with us. Studying and then working are two different things under UAE rules — employment afterwards needs the right permit, which your future employer normally arranges. Tell admissions your visa situation up front and they will explain honestly what applies to you before you pay anything.

This is the right question to ask every school — surprise exam, kit or model fees are one of the most common regrets students report about other institutes. Our rule is simple: the full fee structure goes to you in writing before you commit, including exactly what is and is not covered. If anything is unclear, ask admissions to put the answer in writing too. No pressure discounts, no surprises later.
