Check whether government support is available for skin care providers
These days, there are a lot of people preparing for various certifications because they can learn various certifications with government funding.
In addition, there are many people who receive professional training to change jobs, but since each academy is different, it is actually most accurate to inquire about academies that provide government support.

Get a job as a skin care professional without going to college
If you want to become a skin care therapist, is it possible to get a job without going to college?
Usually, there are places that connect you with a job in a university-related department, but these days, academies have such good programs that it seems like a good idea to get a certificate and get a job where you want.
If you have a national skin care certification and skills, you can get a job right away. Wouldn’t it be better if there was an academy that linked you to getting a certification and getting a job?
There are many academies that provide employment links, so we recommend that you look into several and visit them in person to receive consultation.
Things to check when selecting a government-funded academy
1. Instructor specifications (I recommend one with a mentor system)
2. Are the facilities clean (hygiene, tools, cleanliness)?
3. Is the academy preferred by many people (awareness, reliability)?
4. Is this an academy that provides even a little help with employment, career paths after graduation, and starting a business?
We recommend that you check the four things above and enroll in a government-funded academy.
When it comes to skin care professionals, it is very important that the facilities are clean, so please be careful when choosing a school.
Is it possible to receive government funding twice?
If I obtained my nursing assistant certification with government funding two years ago, will I be able to receive government funding again for my skin care technician certification?
If you received government support two years ago, please access HRD-Net to check whether the current Tomorrow Learning Card validity period has expired.
▶Access to HRD-Net homepage
If the validity period has not expired, you can register for classes within the remaining limit. If the validity period has expired, you can apply for a reissue with the National Tomorrow Learning Card.
For courses of less than 140 hours, you can apply directly from the HRD-Net website, and for courses of more than 140 hours, you can apply for courses after consultation at the Employment Center.
Average Cost of Obtaining a Skin Care Technician License
What is the average cost and duration to obtain a skin care technician license?
First of all, the average monthly tuition at academies is 300,000 to 400,000 won and it takes about 3 months.
Of course, there is government funding, and it is divided between the employed and the unemployed. If you take a break from work, you can be considered unemployed, but I understand that if you are receiving unemployment benefits, you will be disqualified from receiving government support.
However, please be aware that the cost of the academy may vary depending on where you currently reside, as there are differences in academy fees depending on the region.
Do I really need to go to academy?
I’m sure there are people in Korea who got their license without going to a skin care academy, but if you don’t want to waste your time, I recommend attending an academy.
You can acquire it without going to an academy, but it takes a long time, and I think you have to invest at least the academy fee.
The certification test is divided into a written test and a practical test. You can study for the written test on your own, but if you want to study for the practical test on your own, there is a way to watch paid video lectures.
However, as mentioned above, you can obtain certification faster if you attend an academy, so you can choose the one that is convenient for you.
Differences between government support and general courses
There is an account system for government support. Under the account system, 2 million won per year per person is directly deposited into a self-issued account, and 2 million won is used for employment training expenses. It used to be 80%, but now I understand that only 60% is supported.
The difference between the account system and the regular course is that the account system is somewhat different from the exam schedule because the class schedule is set according to the curriculum posted by the academy to the government rather than the exam schedule.

Review of government support for skin care therapists
So far, we have looked into government support for skin therapists. Most skin therapists start out with non-majors or no experience, and although it is true that the practical exam is not easy because it is a relative evaluation, I think it is quite possible to pass the exam in one go.
Both written and practical exams are held at two-week intervals. When choosing an academy, please refer to the above and choose the one that best suits your personality and situation.
