If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Is it too late to change careers?”, you’re not alone—and the short answer is: absolutely not.
In fact, many of our most successful students at Swanson’s Canadian Institute of Electrolysis are in their 30s, 40s, or 50s. They’re parents, professionals, caregivers, or people simply ready to do something more meaningful with their time and skills. If that sounds like you, keep reading—because now might actually be the perfect time to start.
✅ You Have What It Takes—And More
When you're a bit older, you bring more than just curiosity to the classroom. You bring:
Life experience
A strong work ethic
Clearer goals
A desire for meaningful, flexible work
These are qualities that set our mid-life students apart and set them up for real success. Our program isn’t just about training—it’s about equipping you with everything you need to build a sustainable, in-demand career.
💻 Flexible, Adult-Friendly Training
We know life doesn’t stop when you start something new. That’s why our 320-hour certification is designed with real life in mind:
120 hours of online theory – Study from home, at your own pace, when it works for you.
200 hours of practical training – In-person, hands-on learning with supportive, experienced instructors at locations across Canada.
Yes, the practical hours are a real commitment, but they’re temporary—and completely worth it. Most students complete them in just a few weeks, and the flexibility to choose your dates and location makes it doable, even with a busy life.
You don’t have to pause your life—you just need to make space for what comes next.
💡 A Career That’s Actually in Demand
Electrolysis isn’t a passing trend—it has stood the test of time since 1875! Demand for Certified Electrologists is growing rapidly across Canada, with opportunities in medispas, dermatology clinics, and wellness studios. Plus, many of our graduates go on to build their own thriving businesses.
Whether you want more control over your schedule, higher earning potential, or a career you truly love, electrolysis delivers all three.
🗣 Real Words from a Real Graduate
“I started this program at 33, juggling four kids and running a home daycare. I wanted a career that gave me more freedom to be present as a mom—and electrolysis gave me exactly that. Now I can go on field trips, volunteer for hot lunch, block off birthdays, and never have to ask anyone for time off. The training was supportive and flexible, and the instructors truly cared about my success. I only wish I had started sooner!”— K.D, Swanson’s Graduate
