Last month, 44 trainers received the first 2007 certification from the US-based Lydia Sarfati Post Graduate School of Esthetics.
The graduates came from the US, Canada, England, Mexico, Germany and Poland.
They completed a four-day intensive training programme at Sarfati’s New Jersey academy which included training in presentation and communication skills, new products, treatments and protocols alongside the Repêchage Business Plan.
Speaking at the graduation, CEO and founder of the seaweed-based skincare brand Repêchage and of the academy, Lydia Sarfati, said: “I am so proud of these professionals who have taken their time and paid their way to get here – all to improve their knowledge so that they can give back in their community.”
Sarfati opened her first day spa in Manhattan, US, in 1977. She now presides over the 50,000sq ft (4,645sq m) manufacturing, research and development and training facility in Secaucus, New Jersey, while her Spa de Beauté Concept is established in more than 150 spas and salons worldwide and she is the honorary chairperson of Esthetics America and Cidesco Federation USA.
