I selected Gina’s College after visiting other schools in the Ottawa area. The length of the program, class size and instructors had much to do with my selection. As well, it came highly recommended by other practicing medical aestheticians. This is a second career for myself and I was able to take advantage of a government program that offered some financial assistance. This assistance was greatly appreciated. The overall experience at Gina’s was indeed positive. The small class size and openness of the instructors made for a terrific learning environment. The instructors were incredibly supportive and I appreciated their genuine concern for my securing employment in the field. It felt as if I was more than just a student. I am now presently employed as a laser specialist in one of the top medical spas in Ottawa. This has been a life-long passion and I am happy to go to work each day. I would highly recommend Gina’s College to friends as it equipped me with the necessary skills to be successful in my chosen field.

“I chose Gina’s because of its reputation, it was more one on one because of the small amount of students in my class. For myself I should say that Gina’s College helped me while I was going through a very difficult time in my life, and I do thanks the girls who work at Gina’s for that. The teachers were comprehensive, understanding of the students, and they really helped me to accomplish what I was looking for. The teachers were the best, we laughed together, they explained very well and demonstrated very well also. Their knowledge about the course and the products was excellent, and very well explained, especially for myself since it was 30 years since I had been in school…they were excellent teachers. For me, the medical advanced facials were my favourite, and I still like to do my facials. I do have my own business now, a spa called Primal Studio & Skin Care, and I still enjoy doing aesthetics. I would recommend Gina’s at 100 percent, and I would say if you are serious, ambitious and want to learn, that’s the college to go to. I would like to say thank you to the girls at Gina’s College in Ottawa and to Cristina, for her knowledge. Every time she comes to Ottawa, I always go to her seminars.”

“I chose Gina’s College as a good friend and co-worker referred me. She raved about the instructor and the course curriculum. I also found the 8 month program seemed much more attainable as the other schools I looked at, which were a minimum of 1 year. One major obstacle I had in achieving my education goals was funding. The staff at Gina’s College were incredibly accommodating as they offer multiple payment plans and allowed me to pay my tuition on a monthly basis rather than 1 lump sum. My overall experience at Gina’s was phenomenal. Even on the first day, I felt a huge sense of community from the staff as well as my fellow students; I knew right away I had made the right choice by enrolling at Gina’s! The thing I enjoyed most about my time at Gina’s was the total hands on approach to learning. I was never an academic scholar but the way the curriculum was laid out, it gave me the skills and ability to graduate at the top of my class – something I thought I would never be able to achieve. The learning environment at Gina’s was one I felt very comfortable in. Our graduating class was a total of 7 which made it really easy to build relationships. I am still in contact with some of my former class mates and wish them all the best in the future! Gina’s has made a positive impact on my life because I am now working in an industry that I love; the only thing I regret is not doing it sooner. I have already recommended Gina’s to number people looking for a change in careers. I tell them my experience could not have been better and you will not regret investing the time and money – this is your future!”
