4.9/5 rating from graduates across Canada
Perfect match to my career objective! I have taken the course with Dr. Mokmeli, and she provided me with a comprehensive approach — such a wonderful training that I had not experienced before! I appreciate her continuous support and encouragement.
Dr. Negin Derakhshan
Online Training
As an aesthetician for over 20 years, I was looking for a change. Dr. Soheila was one of the best teachers I ever had. I learned so much from her and will refer others for the program. It's been 2 weeks I'm offering treatments at my salon, and it's been very successful.
Katerina Mustafovic
Laser Hair Removal & Cosmetic
I found the training materials so informative, comprehensive, useful and practical. She was always easily accessible, very supportive and caring about your cases. I chose COL Center because of Dr. Mokmeli's knowledge, background and support.
Dr. Parisa Taslimi (R.Ac.)
Laser Acupuncture
The course met my learning objectives. I rate this course excellent! Very comprehensive information. Everything was great, especially that you understood the difficult situation I went through and cooperated with me completely.
Dr. Parham Roshanzamir
Acupuncturist
This course was more in-depth than I thought it would be. It will allow me to develop a better esthetic treatment plan for each individual client and their needs. I feel like it has armed me with enough knowledge to deliver high quality facial treatments.
Stacy Himech
Online Training
I liked that there was a good amount of time for learners to study at their own pace and how Dr. Soheila is very responsive to questions. This course is very informative and thorough. As a total beginner, it makes me feel confident.

I have been looking into a few different schools, but I am really happy I picked COL Center. The course was very informative even for me and I have been working in the industry for many years. I would highly recommend COL Center to everyone.
Iryna Hulka

I specifically selected COL because after thoroughly searching the internet it was the only training available on Vancouver Island. I now feel very confident that I will succeed in my career. Thank you! And as a bonus I got to make 2 new friends.

The course increased my knowledge and in turns my confidence. The course also gave me a vision into how business works. Highly recommend this course. Dr. Soheila is a remarkable expert and always helps students get the support they need.
