To help salon industry professionals advance their career, Dermalogica has launched FITE Business Accelerator—a new educational platform. The free online interactive course helps professional skin therapists think like a business owner, improve their business skills, and ultimately start and run a successful business.

The class was developed by Dermalogica’s Global Education team in conjunction with the company’s FITE (Financial Independence Through Education) initiative supporting skills-based education, and is open to anyone studying or working in the professional skin care industry. The self-paced course takes approximately 6 to 8 hours to complete, and the curriculum includes helpful planning exercises, multimedia experiences, a vision guide, and the ability to communicate with other professional skin therapists as well as the course moderator. Course modules include:

• The Entrepreneurial Mindset

• Building Your Business Blueprint

• The Business of Customer Service

• The Business of Marketing

• The Business of Social Media
