Important Regulatory Notice
Please read this notice carefully before enrolling. It affects whether you can use this training professionally in your province.
Esthetics is a compulsory-certified trade in Manitoba, and cosmetology, including esthetics, nail care, and hair removal, requires a licence and membership with the Cosmetology Association in Nova Scotia. In Manitoba, a person may not legally perform esthetics services for fee, gain, or reward unless they are a registered apprentice or hold a valid Certificate of Qualification. Other provinces and territories regulate esthetics differently: some require registration or membership with a provincial body, and others have no requirement. Laser, IPL, and other advanced treatments may be subject to separate provincial or public-health rules.
Courses offered through Wrapture Beauty Academy’s online learning platform are certificate courses and programs, including professional development, continuing education, and hybrid programs with hands-on training. They are not accredited apprenticeship programs. Completion of one of these certificate courses, and receipt of a Certificate of Completion, does not:
qualify you for licensing or certification in any province or territory;
grant you apprenticeship credit with Apprenticeship Manitoba or any other provincial apprenticeship authority or regulator;
authorize you to practise esthetics, or any regulated treatment, in any jurisdiction where it is regulated;
guarantee employment, licensing, or the right to operate a business.
Looking for an accredited program? Wrapture Beauty Academy also offers in-person Esthetician, Nail Technician, and Skin Care Technician diploma programs in Winnipeg. These programs are registered under The Private Vocational Institutions Act (Manitoba) and provide the technical training recognized by Apprenticeship Manitoba. Details are on the Diploma Programs page.
You are responsible for confirming the licensing and scope-of-practice requirements in your province or territory before offering any services to the public. Full details are in Section 2 of the handbook.
By enrolling, you confirm that you have read and understood this notice.
