"Taking Swanson's program really made me feel comfortable going forward with a career in electrolysis. After the course I felt capable to perform electrolysis competently in my own practice. The hands on experience was great & my instructor did an amazing job making sure that we had every opportunity to practice on many different areas & understand the treatment process fully"
Heather

"I did my training with Swanson's in 2009 after seeing an electrologist myself. I had such great results that I quickly became interested in pursuing electrolysis as my profession. The information that Swanson's provided was extremely helpful and informative which made the whole process very easy. I have now been running my own home based business for 14 years (after working as an employee first) & I absolutely love it! Taking this course has changed my life. I was able to stay home with my kids, make my own hours, and make great money as well. I am now a Certified Practical Instructor for Swanson's. Being an instructor has been very rewarding for me as I get to see my students flourish after their 200 hours with me. I love watching them gain confidence and start their own successful businesses."

“I completed the Electrolysis program in the summer of 2023 and am on the road to electrolysis becoming my full time career! Karen from Swanson’s Canadian Institute of Electrolysis made it so easy from the beginning of the program right to the end. Karen paired me with an instructor who was able to come to my location to train me and who demonstrated a high level of expertise which blew my expectations out of the water. I am so excited to take on my new career and have more flexibility in my life! Becoming a Certified Electrologist has been so rewarding and I am so thankful that I am able to change people’s lives at every treatment."
