A fantastic learning experience!

Belinda and the team at IPCS have been fantastic to deal with and I have really enjoyed completing my Dip. in Personal Care Formulation. The content is incredibly in depth and the way Belinda has put this all together and delivered it, is simply amazing! Fantastic follow up support and really comprehensive learning guides and tools to help you on your path to formulation success. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend IPCS to anybody wanting to start a career in the personal care industry.

Highly Recommended

I have really enjoyed taking the course and learning how to formulate cosmetic products in depth. The course has been set up very well with 3 modules that are spaced out with plenty of time to work at your own pace whether it is full time or part time. Belinda is very helpful, knowledgeable and responsive. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn about cosmetic formulations and cosmetic regulatory requirements.

I have had such a wonderful time…

I have had such a wonderful time learning all these "mysteries" surrounding formulation. The turn around time for emails is impressive and commendable. Belinda is such a reservoir of knowledge and an excellent teacher. I'm glad I stumbled on their website while helplessly searching for a way forward with my quest for the best. I'll comfortably say I found the best in the industry.

Highly recommended for R&D personnel

Excellent content and format. Formulators need this kind of training to minimize doing "trial and error". Belinda and the team are very responsive. There has been a great improvement from the old format and the lessons are much easier to follow thanks to the checklist. They also send e-mails from time to time to remind you and so that you will not get off track.

Excellent in every capacity!

I had enrolled to study for the Diploma in Personal Care Formulation in September 2018. The support provided before enrolling was amazing and I was not let down once I had begun my studies. IPCS helps you progress through the course via online lectures, modular books, assignments and raw materials which helps to suit all learning styles and add learning to the practical experience. Belinda is truly is brilliant and her team are fantastic and correspond very quickly with all my queries. The quality and format of this training is superb and some days, I just cannot stop reading as I am so fascinated by the course itself. This course is absolutely brilliant.

Fantastic Training and Education

I have been studying with IPCS for over 2 years. So far I have done both Regulatory Compliance and Dip of Cosmetic Formulation. I love teaching style and the lecture format. It is easy to understand and has consolidated my previous knowledge. I felt confident after graduating in my enhanced capabilities. I love how thorough the courses are and that they are industry specific.

Belinda is a wealth of knowledge and the support is exceptional.

Best Advanced Cosmetic Science Course!

The course I took is the Certificate in Advanced Cosmetic Science. I think this course is for those that have at least a little knowledge in cosmetic formulation. I give this course a 5 star rating because I believe for the price offered you can't get anything else better than this, at least not in USA. Belinda is the best instructor, always available and making corrections on your assignments in detailed, this is what impressed me the most of her. The course is full of well documented information and guidelines, such as lectures, books, videos, assignments, etc.
For those who are interested in taking this course, this is definitely a one way stop without having you to look further on other courses.
Best of the best courses ever!
Thank you Belinda for caring so much and your passion in this field.

Excellent on line training…

Can not speak highly enough of Belinda and her staff
I run a manufacturing business and have been formulating for years - but never had formal qualifications. Even though I thought I knew a great deal I was very impressed by how much extra I leant. It is amazing what you don't know that you don't know! The online course is great as you can learn at your own pace but there is always help if you need it and Belinda's books are a great source of information that I turn to frequently to jog my memory. I will be organising for some of my staff to do other courses with IPCS.

I highly recommend the Diploma of Personal Care Formulation course to anyone who is interested in formulating skin care products, and recommend the Diploma of Personal Care Development and Promotion if anyone who is further interested in creating their own brand. Studying at the Institue of Personal Care science have been a wonderful and fulfilling experience. What I appreciate most was the full support from Belinda Cali, the director of the institute. I felt that she was always there ready to help which made the learning an enjoyable journey. I believe it was that support that got me through the courses.
