Our Mission
Our mission is to provide career-focused beauty and aesthetics education that helps students develop practical skills, professional confidence, and the foundation needed to pursue meaningful opportunities in the beauty industry.

Training That Leads Somewhere
IBI programs are designed with career outcomes in mind.
Students build technical knowledge and hands-on skills in areas such as skin care, laser, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, body contouring, body treatments, waxing, manicures and pedicures, makeup, consultative sales, and medical spa operations. The Medical Aesthetics Diploma, for example, is a 33-week program that includes a broad mix of traditional spa, advanced skin care, laser, and business-focused modules.
While every student’s career path is different, the goal is the same: to help you graduate with the confidence, knowledge, and practical experience to take the next step.
