Our College was established in 1997 by Madam Professor Pearl Gopaul at her residence, #19 Cedar Drive in Marabella. After two years the College outgrew its space and now occupies 11,500sq.ft of land, at # 68 Market Street.
Since its formation, the College has undergone tremendous changes. The College has expanded its syllabus and teaching staff and has shifted the focus of the Massage program from Swedish to Medical Massage. The Cosmetology program has been shifted from a theory based program to a Competency Based system with defined performance criteria. The College provides the necessary learning tools, equipment for students. Our original program in Massage Therapy was three hundred hours; it has now been extended to one thousand and seventy three hours in keeping with International Standards.
