Skinny on Skin Certified Technician
Our Skinny on Skin Certification program offers you the chance to save lives by learning how to identify suspicious skin lesions and how to speak with your client to seek medical care from a dermatologist or other health professional.

The course was very helpful and I’m happy to have the opportunity to receive a certificate in this class. Now I am aware of the difference between normal spots and those that should be checked. I feel good having the training on how to talk with my customers without alarming them.
