Prepare to become a professional cosmetologist instructor capable of pursuing a career in education.
The Cosmetology Education program prepares students to become a professional cosmetologist instructor capable of pursuing a career in education.
The curriculum stems from the philosophy of the College and the standards of the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). Emphasis is placed on developing a variety of skills useful in the practice of training future cosmetologists. The course content meets the standards set forth by The Alabama State Board of Cosmetology and prepares graduates to appear before the State Board for licensure and qualify for applying for a license to operate as a cosmetologist instructor. Courses throughout the program balance the technical skills required in the ever expanding profession of cosmetology with a strong grounding in personal growth and skill and technique development. Students acquire an in-depth competency in fundamental skills necessary for the formation and development of professional cosmetology service relationships. A comprehensive presentation of the science and art of training cosmetologists provides students with the background necessary for enhancing communications with students and supporting confident interaction. Opportunities for learning through practical skill exercises, group processes, lectures and discussions, and hands-on technique practice form the core of this unique program.
Students learn to teach cosmetology students by studying and practicing teaching techniques. A list of textbooks utilized in this training program is included within the supplement to this Catalog.
