From anywhere in the world
Distance learning is a system of study which you can use without having to attend a series of lessons or lectures given in the traditional way at a college or training centre. It is a system in which you can study on your own, at your own pace...
SCS Diploma in Cosmetic Science
The course is in a modular format with units written and assessed by experts within the industry of making cosmetics and toiletries
Once enrolled on the course you can access the modules from this website and all the units include computer interactive activities.
For some of the modules specially designed practical activity kits are available to enable you to undertake important practical work in your own home - or wherever you choose to do it. Upon successful completion of the diploma course you are awarded a year's free membership of the Society of Cosmetic Scientists.
I found the course both challenging and enjoyable. Studying the course whilst starting work within the industry helped to expand and cement the knowledge gained from in both areas. It also gave insight and knowledge in areas of cosmetic science that otherwise I would not have encountered.
