Education Committee Jill Gardiner
The Education Committee has the onerous task of ensuring that the Cosmetic Science Diploma remains a high standard, reputable and sought-after qualification within the cosmetic industry.
Their key function is to ensure that suitable topics are selected for assignments, product briefs are relevant and that exam papers are representative of the application based nature of the course. They also have to deal with extraneous student issues that arise from time to time and need to ensure that expert lecturers and markers are sourced for the course.

Cosmetic Science Diploma 2017
Another bumper year in terms of student intake was experienced. Forty students registered for Module 1, twenty of these were correspondence students and the other twenty local class students. Twenty-two students registered for Module 2. As only four of these opted for the local classes they were all converted to correspondence students as per the Course criteria.
The Course took its toll on a number of students for varying reasons from personal issues, to simply not meeting the exam entry criteria or failing the exams. Twenty-eight of the original forty Module 1 students met the Exam Entry Criteria. Of these twenty-six passed and two students were required to write Supplementary Exams. Sixteen of the original twenty-two Module 2 students met the Exam Entry Criteria. Only twelve passed and the other four were required to write Supplementary Exams. These statistics indicate just how tough this course is. Without a lot of hard work and dedication students cannot simply walk away with our Cosmetic Science Diploma.
