• Prepared to pass the State of Illinois Licensing Examination.
• Able to apply teaching methods, both theory and practical.

Approximately one half of the course time is devoted to post-graduate training in cosmetology, the other half is devoted to technical instruction in the areas of educational psychology, teaching methods (theory), teaching methods (practical), and business methods. This half also includes instruction in student teaching (applied) under the direct supervision of an Illinois Licensed Teacher.
