CIDESCO Project
I know what you’re thinking: What could I possibly have to do with CIDESCO, the world’s major international beauty therapy association headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland? Well, in the Kevin Bacon game of separation, I’m closer than you’d realize.
This was just a quickie project for Cengage Learning where I made a table out of the 108-page CIDESCO syllabus (”The prestigious CIDESCO Diploma is awarded to candidates who have passed the CIDESCO examinations and given proof of having gained at least 600 hours work experience in a beauty center/salon.”) and filled it in with page numbers corresponding to information in three Cengage esthetics and anatomy textbooks. This way, Cengage could ensure that students using its texts would have all the knowledge needed to pass the CIDESCO test.
As an aside, are you aware that in order to pass this test, beauty therapists (aka estheticians) not only have to know the obvious (hair, skin, nails, hygiene), but also chemistry, biology and physics? Can you identify the superficial lymph nodes of the face and neck? No? Well, maybe that lady who runs the footspa place in your local strip mall can. Respect!
