Course Objectives

The objective of the Cosmetology course is to develop in the student the practical skills, theoretical knowledge and professional attitudes necessary for success in the Cosmetology profession. The goal of this course is to qualify and equip the student to pass the State of Illinois Licensing Examination.

After the graduate has successfully passed their State Board Exam, they are qualified to work as a licensed cosmetologist in the State of Illinois. They may cut hair, perform hair styling, perform all phases of manicuring, apply make-up, and give skin care (within the scope of the license) for profit.

The Cosmetology Course is 1500 clock hours in length, which can be completed in not less than eight months of full time attendance. The course is a combination of theoretical and practical instruction. Students are able to develop and practice cosmetology skills, under the supervision of licensed instructors, in actual working conditions in the school’s busy clinic.
