The Cosmetology certificate is designed to provide competency-based knowledge, scientific/artistic principles, and hands-on fundamentals associated with the cosmetology industry. The curriculum provides a simulated salon environment which enables students to develop manipulative skills.
Course work includes instruction on all phases of professional imaging, hair designs, chemical processes, skin care, nail care, multicultural practices, business/computer principles, product knowledge, and other selected topics.
Graduates should qualify to sit for the State Board of Cosmetic Arts Cosmetology apprentice examination. Upon successfully passing the State Board exam, graduates will be issued an apprentice license. Employment is available in beauty salons and related businesses.
This track requires 1200 clock hours. Once the student completes the required courses and hours, it is his or her responsibility to set up and complete a 6-month apprenticeship with a licensed cosmetologist who will supervise and sign off on 40 hours of work per week. This is a requirement by the NC State Board of Cosmetic Arts in order to receive full licensure once the apprenticeship is completed.
