A wide range of specialities
At Institut Fandi, beauty is taught across seven disciplines: makeup and eye beauty, facial care, body care, permanent makeup, hair removal, nail and hand/foot beauty, and finally spa and relaxation. Each involves different techniques, tools and career outlets.
Some specialities lean towards artistic contact with the client, others towards technical care or wellbeing. Exploring them helps you understand where your main interest lies.
The questions to ask yourself before choosing
Ask yourself what truly appeals to you: the creative side, care and wellbeing, or the technical and precise aspect? Also consider your daily rhythm, your availability and the kind of environment you would like to work in.
Finally, think about the market around you: some services, such as facial care or nail beauty, are in strong demand in most cities. Matching your aspirations with real local needs is often the best compass.
Diploma, short course or distance learning?
The academic diploma, spread over several years, offers complete, recognised training, ideal for those aiming for an in-depth career. Short courses, on the other hand, let you specialise quickly in a specific technique.
Distance learning, through the e-lumy online academy, suits those who cannot easily travel or who want to learn at their own pace. The key is to fit the format to your situation, not the other way round.
Recognition and quality of the school
Whatever path you choose, check the school's credibility: official accreditation, experience, quality of teaching and the importance given to practice. Institut Fandi, founded in 1991, has been accredited by the Ministry of Economic Inclusion, Small Business, Employment and Skills since 2005/2006.
Taking the first step
The best way to choose is still to gather information directly: compare programmes, ask about career outcomes and, if possible, visit the school. A conversation with the teaching team often sheds far more light than long hesitation.
