Our Curriculum

At the Aveda Institute we don't just teach our students how to pass the state board examination, we teach them how to succeed. Our curriculum includes modules for advanced education from legendary stylist and beauty educator, Vivienne Mackinder, Make Up Designory (MUD) certification, and Aveda's own exclusive curriculum, called Learn Aveda. We also included training in business development from ProsperU, financial wellness from Money by Qnity, and professional development with CanvasMe. With all of these amazing additions to our curriculum, we believe that an Aveda education is the best way to start your career in beauty!
