Why choose an Accredited Esthetician School?

Not all esthetics programs are created equal. Avenue Five Institute is proud to offer a program that has been approved by established national accreditation standards. Accreditation is a voluntary process that recognizes educational programs for having achieved a measurable level of quality, performance, and integrity. Accreditation also means that a school maintains important minimum student outcomes, including completion, licensure, and employment of graduates. In addition to serving as a reliable index of quality education, accreditation is required by the US Department of Education in order to allow eligible students to participate in federal grant and loan programs.

Get Licensed

Most states require estheticians to be licensed. To qualify for a license, candidates are required to graduate from a state-approved esthetician program and then pass a state exam for licensure. As a graduate of the Avenue Five Institute Esthetics School Program, you will be fully prepared and eligible for the state licensing examination.

Convenient Day & Evening Schedules

Many students work and/or care for families while going to school. This program is designed to fit the needs of busy adult learners. Choose from day or evening classes.
