Florida Academy of Medical Aesthetics — Local services in Pembroke Pines

I completed the 5 day “Hands on” body contouring workshop that started on 04/18/2021 and I would not recommend it. This is not a hands on course! They packed 45 or more people in a classroom in addition to trying to teach I don’t know how many people live online with you at the same time and it was chaotic, unorganized and unprofessional. This did not leave room for it to be hands on. Not to mention we are in a time of COVID. We were all shoulder to shoulder in that room. To try and cover what they called hands on they pulled a person or two up to try certain machines but we all did not experience this.

While Florida Academy of Medical Aesthetics prides them selves on being the only school in the country that offers a wide range of technologies. It’s not worth the hype or the money. Although it offered many technologies it was a short overview. Like a sales pitch. The only companies machinery that was truly taught to you in depth were companies that you need a doctor to buy the machinery and or the machinery cost over $100,000 like Cool Sculpting and Candella and even with these companies it still wasn’t hands on. Oh and if your excited about learning wood therapy you will get an overview then you need to buy a separate course for another...

I took the 5 day body contouring course. Overall to jumpstart my new endeavor , this class was beneficial. It has helped me narrow down which services I would like to provide. The speakers that come in are good and not really pushy in regard to sales. The machines are expensive and some of them will not be able to be used without a medical director that should be included in description of the class but still interesting information to learn. The class is a mixture of students mostly from Florida and some from other states. Class size was about 20-25 including online. CourseKey/Moodle is easy and convenient.

Staff is willing to answer questions.

Hands on was good for me because this is new information and equipment for me so I wouldn’t feel comfortable with too much hands on. Close to stores/restaurants so Uber would work to and from class.

Cons: I would have liked my certificate printed on certificate paper especially for the amount of the class , not emailed within a week.

I would recommend to people interested in getting into the industry, considering taking another...

After attending another beauty school here in South Florida, I am so happy that I found this school that has the programs for Electrology, Laser and Facial Specialist. This is a small school, which is good because you get more hands on practice on the machines.

The instructor for Electrology and Laser is Ms. Petrane Reddick. She is highly knowledgable and passionate about the beauty industry. She actually wants to see her students succeed and helps each one of us by giving us one-on-one time to go over the learning material or tests if we need her to. Her calm and easy-going personality make this fast paced course go smoothly.

So, this course enrolls students on a rolling basis, we have beginner and advanced level students. What I am amazed mostly about Ms. P is that she can teach the advanced students and in the same sentence she will expand on the theories and content so that beginner students can understand.

I'm proud to say I was taught by Ms. P and will refer all future students wherever she teaches...
