What is OPEN ENROLLMENT and do you provide this?

An Open Enrollment program allows students to start a class at any time during their course of learning. There is no specific start date and no specific graduation date. The students are allowed to start at any time and come to school at any time of the day. The new student joins a group that has already begun and may be at a different level of education. At the New Age Spa Institute we believe in providing the best education possible offering programs that are more structured. Many of the classes that are included in the program are advanced education classes and because of this we want to make sure that all of the students in the classroom are at the same level of education. Our students begin the program together as a group, and graduate together. So, to answer this question: NO, WE DO NOT PROVIDE OPEN ENROLLMENT.

I’ve heard somewhere that advanced education classes are not part of the regular program, is this true?

At The New Age Spa Institute we believe in providing only the best, that’s why many of the advanced education classes (Master Esthetics) are already included in our curriculum. After completing our program you can be sure to be at the top of your education.

I have heard about the WIA Progam. What is it and do you participate in it?

We do participate in the WIA (Workforce Investment Act) program. The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 is the federal law that governs certain workforce development services to businesses and job-seekers including adults, dislocated workers and youth. If you are eligible, you can get as much as a $5,000 (or more) grant toward your tuition!
The WIA program is administered locally. We recommend talking with a caseworker located inside most unemployment offices.
