Aligning Qualification with Long-Term Career Goals

 Priyanka Parshurami gets you first hand comparison between CIDESCO vs diploma in beauty. This will help understand which pathway supports stronger international career mobility.

Choosing between CIDESCO vs diploma in beauty is a common decision for students targeting global employment. Both pathways offer value, but their scope and recognition differ significantly.

Career Outcomes and Global Recognition

A domestic diploma course, such as the Diploma in Skin Aesthetics or Diploma in Professional Hairdressing, builds strong technical foundations and supports employment within India. These programs emphasise practical exposure and industry readiness.

Biju Nair, Co-Founder, LTA School of Beauty, notes, “International qualifications widen mobility, but performance and skill depth remain equally critical.”

CIDESCO, however, is internationally recognised and accepted across multiple countries. The CIDESCO Diploma in Beauty Therapy follows global curriculum standards, making graduates eligible for broader overseas opportunities.

At LTA School of Beauty, both domestic and international certifications are integrated within a structured framework across Mumbai, Pune and Maharashtra centres.

Vaishali Shah, Founder, LTA School of Beauty explains,“Students must evaluate career geography before choosing certification pathways.”

The decision ultimately depends on career intent, domestic leadership roles or international placement aspirations.
