International Aestheticiennes
- the UK government registered independent examining body

The brainchild of Mrs Lillian Maund, founder of the prestigious Lillian Maund School of Beauty, which is known in the industry as the prime example of holistic health and beauty therapy training.

What is the International Aestheticiennes Exam?

International Aestheticiennes is an examination which is designed to examine students on in-salon/clinic situation, and placing more attention on practical ability and the students capability to impart their knowledge to their prospective clients by suggesting further treatment programs available, and to be in a position to stimulate sales of products, rather than embark on a heavy academic format.

Mrs Maund’s common sense approach to examinations was enthusiastically received, and today, I.A. members in 50 countries are either working members of I.A., or use I.A’s syllabuses and examinations to train the future members of our profession.

The Value of an IA Diploma

The value of an International Aestheticiennes diploma on a salon or clinic wall is reflected in increased earnings as well as prestige. After all, nothing succeeds like success, and if clients believe their therapist has up-to-date qualifications, that increases their confidence, and their willingness to spend money on treatments.

Equal Opportunities

Long before N.V.Qs, I.A. has provided a world examination standard. Because the examinations are recognised world-wide, a student trained in Singapore can compete on equal terms with one trained in London, Athens or wherever. 

The standard of I.A. examinations is the same around the world, so holders of I.A. qualifications posess widely accepted and respected certification.
