Florida Dermal Institute

Welcome to Florida Dermal Institute Skincare Program. Our skincare program is taught in a hybrid format. Please familiarize yourself with this learning style.

What is a hybrid format?

The theory is delivered through an online learning system where students will gain a deeper understanding of such topics as Skin Histology, Anatomy & Physiology, and Skin Analysis. Students will then complete on-campus skills training to develop the necessary hands-on training for licensure. We have flexible schedules for the skills training classes. Please see a full detailed description of our curriculum below.
