The online school behind a real institute
The Canadian College of Aesthetic Dermatology delivers professional aesthetic-dermatology training online — built and taught by the team behind an established in-person training clinic in Coquitlam, British Columbia.
Most aesthetic-dermatology training in Canada is delivered in person, on a fixed schedule, at a physical campus — and priced accordingly. CCAD was created to make the same curriculum available to practitioners who need to study around clinic shifts, family, and travel, without giving up the structure, assessment, and instructor support of a formal program.
The college offers five academic levels — from a foundational Certificate through to Master Practitioner — each with structured coursework, chapter quizzes, final examinations, and, where applicable, a research thesis. Successful candidates receive a CCAD certificate of completion with a unique, verifiable certificate number. Throughout, students have access to instructor-grade support built on the founder’s real clinical and teaching experience.
CCAD is the online arm of BC Medical Aesthetic, a hands-on aesthetic training institute and clinic in Coquitlam, BC. Students who want in-person, equipment-based instruction can train on site; the online programs follow the same clinical standards and curriculum.
