The Certified Aesthetic Consultant Program
What is the Certified Aesthetic Consultant program?
The Certified Aesthetic Consultant™ (CAC) program is a comprehensive educational curriculum and testing process created by THE Aesthetic Practice Association™ (TAPA) to document staff competence in areas critical to aesthetic practice growth. In a survey of more than 2,000 TAPA members, 400 respondents identified the need for increased staff training as a critical challenge. They also noted (by a 5 to 1 margin) that they would be more inclined to hire an individual with a CAC degree versus a candidate without certification. Furthermore, the majority of responding physicians indicated a willingness to increase compensation for employees who have completed the CAC program
