Gemology Courses
What is gemology?
Gemology is the study of gemstones. A gemstone or a gem, also called a precious or semi-precious stone, is a piece of mineral, which can be cut and refined so as to be used in jewelry or other adornments. However certain organic materials such as amber, corals, and pearls are not natural resources, but are still used for jewelry, and are therefore often considered to be gemstones as well.
These gemstones are minerals that are formed by different processes on or under the face of the earth. They possess the attributes of beauty, scarcity and durability and this makes them so special. Every gemstone can be cut and polished in different ways to enhance its beauty. The invention of manufacturing artificial stones has also revolutionized the market of gems.

Gem testing involves the testing of the quality of the gems and grading them according to the standard parameters.
Diamond grading involves the in-depth study of diamonds, their sorting, grading and even trading.
Jewelry designing is the designing of jewels with combinations of different metals and gems.
With so many national and multinational companies venturing into gem trade, particularly diamonds and fashion designing, the scope for gemology and jewelry designing has expanded on a global scale.

Beautician Courses
It is the deepest urge of every human being to look beautiful that has radically altered the concept of beauty through the ages. The changing lifestyles and outlook of the people have given a new meaning to how people like to look and groom themselves. Beauty no longer means pampering oneself with home made products within the confines of one's home but a steady and flourishing business. The need to look beautiful has compelled most people to seek professional help and consequently thousands of beauty salons and spas have come up globally.
Today, cosmetology is a booming business and most of the youth of today; especially women aspire to carve out a place for themselves in the beauty business.
Qualifications
The minimum qualification required for someone to enroll in a beautician course is 10+2 (Higher Secondary). However, since the profession involves a lot of interaction with customers and calls for personal care, politeness and suavity is a major requirement. A beautician must be friendly, confident and also well mannered. He or she must have an attractive and pleasing personality, possess a sense of hygiene and have a creative mind.
The syllabus for a beautician course comprises theoretical classes on physiology, anatomy, diets, and salon management. Practical classes are also held on applying facials, make-up and hair treatments.
Some of the reputed beauty training schools in India are:
• Shehnaz Herbal Women's International (Mumbai)
• Akbar Peerbhoy Girl's Polytechnic ( Mumbai)
• VLCC Institute of Health and Management (New Delhi)
• RVTI for Women (Jaipur, Vadodra, Allahabad, Noida)
• Habib's Hair Academy (New Delhi)
Benefits

Scope Abroad
The beauty business today attracts both men and women. Those interested in choosing an unconventional career can try their hand in the beauty business for it offers the scope to cultivate those skills which would otherwise have remained suppressed in an individual. The job prospects in this field are also very promising.
Scope in India
The beauty industry has advanced significantly in India and includes manufacture, promotion and marketing of beauty products as well. After the completion of a course a budding beautician may eventually emerge as a manicurist, a pedicurist, an electrologist, a masseur, an aroma therapist or even a beauty consultant. They may even start their private salon and have own clientele. If entrepreneurship fails to satisfy the creative zeal, a professional beautician may eventually come up with his or her own range of beauty products and make a name for himself or herself in the market by emphasizing on quality and economy.
The scope of the beauty business is tremendous in the United States of America and in almost all the European countries. Since the people of the West are very much interested in reinventing oriental beauty, India has a substantial role to play in the already flourishing beauty industries of these countries. Many enthusiastic Indians today harbor the dream of promoting the essence of true Indian beauty in the West, especially in the USA by opening up beauty salons that deploy traditional Indian methods to cure skin and hair problems through the use of herbs. Such beauty salons employ the service of skilled beauticians who are paid handsomely. These beauty parlors are frequented by both Asians and Westerners, and are famous all over the world.

Benefits
Beauty, an exclusive women's domain all these years, has managed to break free and step into the world of men also.
Scope Abroad
The beauty business today attracts both men and women. Those interested in choosing an unconventional career can try their hand in the beauty business for it offers the scope to cultivate those skills which would otherwise have remained suppressed in an individual. The job prospects in this field are also very promising.
Scope in India
The beauty industry has advanced significantly in India and includes manufacture, promotion and marketing of beauty products as well. After the completion of a course a budding beautician may eventually emerge as a manicurist, a pedicurist, an electrologist, a masseur, an aroma therapist or even a beauty consultant. They may even start their private salon and have own clientele. If entrepreneurship fails to satisfy the creative zeal, a professional beautician may eventually come up with his or her own range of beauty products and make a name for himself or herself in the market by emphasizing on quality and economy.
The scope of the beauty business is tremendous in the United States of America and in almost all the European countries. Since the people of the West are very much interested in reinventing oriental beauty, India has a substantial role to play in the already flourishing beauty industries of these countries. Many enthusiastic Indians today harbor the dream of promoting the essence of true Indian beauty in the West, especially in the USA by opening up beauty salons that deploy traditional Indian methods to cure skin and hair problems through the use of herbs. Such beauty salons employ the service of skilled beauticians who are paid handsomely. These beauty parlors are frequented by both Asians and Westerners, and are famous all over the world.
