一般社團法人美顏協會（總部：東京都中央區，代表理事：西尾眞樹子）報告，於栃木刑務所舉辦的刑事設施內職業訓練「綜合美容技術科」第37期學員，已於2026年3月25日順利完成結業典禮。
徹底的「365小時」課程與專業資格
目前美容領域並無官方國家資格。然而，為使本計畫成為學員社會復歸的真正助力，我們在職業訓練中追求達到「準國家資格」同等的學習時數與品質。
第37期學員透過為期半年的合計365小時嚴格訓練，已全部修習並取得以下專業資格課程：
這些課程均基於本協會47年來所培養的教育系統與技術標準，證明了學員具備可立即投入職場的高度專業性。
・臉部護理資格課程
・淋巴引流資格課程
・反射療法資格課程
・芳香療法資格課程
18年歷史的集大成
自2008年起，本會已連續18年受法務省委託，在栃木刑務所實施職業訓練。
此項支持眾多女性重新出發的計畫，是體現本協會「透過美容貢獻社會」理念的重要活動。
代表理事 西尾眞樹子女士的訊息
「第37期各位學員完成的這365小時，想必絕非輕鬆的過程。然而，從臉部護理到反射療法，所習得的準國家資格等級技術所帶來的自信，將是無可取代的寶貴資產。我對18年來在此一同走過的教官與工作人員，以及所有以積極態度學習的畢業生，致上最誠摯的敬意。」
宣傳部長Noah的鼓勵
「第37期的各位，恭喜畢業！一次考取三張證照，真的非常努力呢！Noah也覺得...
