Capelli Institute of Trichology-About us
Africa's Leading
Trichology Institution
Training the next generation of certified trichologists.
At Capelli Institute of Trichology, you will learn about the science of the structure, function, growth phases, types of hair loss, conditions of the scalp and hair — and how to treat and maintain a healthy scalp and hair for your clients.
Our courses are carefully developed to give you a deep understanding of the Anatomy and Physiology of Trichology. You will have in-depth knowledge on how hair and scalp disorders can be treated through accurate diagnosis and without the need for complicated solutions.
Learn about the structure of hair and the ways chemicals in hair products can penetrate the follicle, and the problems that clients worry about most.
Capelli Institute of Trichology was founded with a singular mission: to produce highly skilled, evidence-led trichologists across Africa and beyond. Through a combination of scientific knowledge, practical training, clinical exposure, and industry-standard certification, our graduates leave ready to practise with confidence.
From our first cohort to over 1,500 graduates across 12 countries, our growth reflects the enormous demand for qualified trichology professionals on the continent and globally.
Learn from practising trichologists, dermatologists, and hair scientists with decades of combined clinical experience.
Every module we teach, every clinical rotation we supervise, and every graduate we certify is a direct expression of our mission. We don't just train trichologists — we develop confident, ethical, clinically excellent practitioners who go on to change lives.
Our evidence-based curriculum is continually reviewed against the latest research, ensuring that what you learn at CIT is always current, applicable, and internationally recognised.
Our values guide everything from how we design our curriculum to how we support our students and graduates throughout their careers.
At Capelli Institute of Trichology, our values aren't a list on a wall they're embedded in every interaction, every class, and every clinical session. When you train with us, you join a culture that genuinely cares about the quality of your practice and the wellbeing of your future clients.
Our graduates consistently tell us that the ethos they absorbed at CIT shapes how they run their clinics and treat their clients for years after graduating.
