There’s no doubt about it – being an esthetician in 2022 is a fun and lucrative career. Even with that world-class training, you get in the Summit Salon Academy Esthetics program, there’s one step further that you can take to really bring your career to the next level – CIDESCO continuing education. What does CIDESCO mean? CIDESCO is an elite international committee of cosmetology and esthetics professionals based in Brussels. The committee’s new head office is located in Zurich, Switzerland, Switzerland. CIDESCO is an acronym that means Comité International d'Esthétique et de Cosmétology, This group of professionals has four goals:  

• To uphold the highest standards in beauty therapy globally for our industry
• To promote wellness, beauty, and spa therapy globally.
• To exchange knowledge between expert estheticians and cosmetologists
• To build and maintain a high-quality education system for the industry with exceptional qualifications

  Since 1946, CIDESCO has upheld these four goals. Now, a CIDESCO diploma is the most sought-after credential in the industry. What makes CIDESCO training different?
