The Education Committee has the onerous task of ensuring that the Cosmetic Science Diploma remains a high standard , reputable and sought-after qualification within the cosmetic industry .
Their key function is to ensure that suitable topics are selected for assignments , product briefs are relevant and that exam papers are representative of the application based nature of the course . They also have to deal with extraneous student issues that arise from time to time and need to ensure that expert lecturers and markers are sourced for the course .

Cosmetic Science Diploma 2017
Another bumper year in terms of student intake was experienced . Forty students registered for Module 1 , twenty of these were correspondence students and the other twenty local class students . Twenty-two students registered for Module 2 . As only four of these opted for the local classes they were all converted to correspondence students as per the Course criteria .
The Course took its toll on a number of students for varying reasons from personal issues , to simply not meeting the exam entry criteria or failing the exams . Twenty-eight of the original forty Module 1 students met the Exam Entry Criteria . Of these twenty-six passed and two students were required to write Supplementary Exams . Sixteen of the original twenty-two Module 2 students met the Exam Entry Criteria . Only twelve passed and the other four were required to write Supplementary Exams . These statistics indicate just how tough this course is . Without a lot of hard work and dedication students cannot simply walk away with our Cosmetic Science Diploma .
