Cosmetology Instructor Course

The cosmetology instructor course of study consists of 600 clock hours of technical instruction and practical operations in teaching the art of cosmetology as mandated by the California State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. Students must have a high school diploma or equivalent from the U.S. or from his/her country, in order to study this course. This is a specialty course which covers all aspects of instructional methods and techniques, conduction of classroom instruction and demonstrations, supervising and training while practicing the art of cosmetology. The course is designed to prepare the student to obtain the knowledge and skills needed for an entry-level position as an instructor in the beauty field and to pass the California State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology licensing examination. Passing the exam is a requisite in order to obtain a Cosmetology Instructor License. The cosmetology instructor license is one of the approved documents required to work as a cosmetology instructor in the State of California.

Graduates once they finish this course (obtain their instructor license or certificate of authorization from the BPPE*) will be able to obtain employment in a California School of Cosmetology. *At the moment both agencies do not offer any licensure or certificate of authorization, so the only requirement to be an instructor is to hold a valid cosmetology license, and possibly complete the cosmetology instructor course.
