How we train
- Assess — We audit your team’s current skill set, your service menu, and your guest expectations.
- Curriculum fit — Choose from six certification tracks or build a custom curriculum for your goals.
- Train on-site — Korean master trainers come to your location — or your team flies to our Seoul partner academy.
- Certify — Practical exam and written assessment. Pass rate is the standard, not a participation trophy.
- Maintain — Quarterly refreshers, new protocol releases, and continuing education credit tracking.
Case study
A 14-esthetician team became K-beauty certified in one weekend.
A San Diego destination spa wanted every guest-facing therapist trained in Korean facial protocols before a summer relaunch. Two Seoul master trainers delivered the full curriculum in three days, with a 100% pass rate, and they relaunched the menu the following Monday. Results: 14 estheticians certified, 100% pass rate, 3 days on-site training.
