“Why I Choose” - DTC Graduate Profile, Jess Moss

When it comes to the skin care business, there are so many facets you have to learn. When a client comes to you, they want to be secure that you know what you’re talking about! I’m able to keep up with all of the latest skin care techniques and tips that come along through complimentary refresher courses at Dawn Training Centre! And that’s even after I graduated! Education is the most important thing you can provide a client, and refresher courses help boost my confidence! My instructors were extremely knowledgeable. There was no such thing as a stupid question. They all had unique personalities, and all of them brought something new and different to the table. I think that’s one of the number one mistakes a student can make is not doing their homework before choosing a school. Dawn Training Centre stood out the most in my mind – not only with all of the programs they offered, but how friendly the teachers and staff were to me.

Knowledge is truly power. The most rewarding thing in the world is when you educate a client and that client thanks you for the wonderful job that you did. I really do feel as though I received the best education from Dawn Training Centre. I felt prepared at the end of my 750-hour course in Esthetics to take my state boards, and I passed with flying colors! I’ve been here at my salon for a few years now and I’ve never been happier about what I’m doing! I’ve always wanted to make a positive difference in someone’s life. I thought, as a cosmetologist or esthetician, I could make people (especially women) feel better about themselves. If I can make someone look good on the outside, then hopefully it will make them feel better on the inside. Everybody wins!

I did do a lot of research before picking a school. Why wouldn’t you? I finally came across a school that seemed to be right up my alley … Dawn Training Centre. I had read reviews about the school and even contacted some of their former students, and they had nothing but nice things to say about the Esthetics (Skin Care Specialist) program. A week later I scheduled an interview with the owner and was able to discuss where I could take my future with this program. I was more than impressed. Not only was the school very appealing to me, but the customer service was impeccable. The following day I signed up for the course, and within a few weeks I started classes. What was really great about the school was that they offered night classes, which was convenient for me! When I told my friends and family that I wanted to go back to school, they all supported me in my decision. There is no such thing as too much education. Everyone said it would further my career and I would not regret it in the end. It was a great decision on my part. The only thing that did scare me was: What is the tuition like? Dawn Training Centre worked with me on a payment plan and helped me with whatever questions I had.
