At Cosmetology Training Center, you learn to teach by teaching. Our program starts with educator-focused theory, about adult learning styles, lesson planning, classroom management, and more. Once you have the theory down, you will start assisting experienced instructors in practical settings. You could demonstrate techniques for students, give them feedback, or track their services on the clinic floor.
By moving from theory to practical instructor to leading students of your own, you build your teaching toolbox of skills. You’ll also build your communication skills and learn more about professional presentation, skills that matter in and out of the classroom.
We’re locally owned and accredited, with small class sizes that put you in direct contact with mentors. We’ve been teaching aspiring beauty professionals since 1984, giving us the experience needed to help you learn real-world skills for the classroom. You will learn alongside active instructors in a busy student salon setting, so your practice happens with students in genuine learning situations. If you bring consistency and care for learners, we will give you opportunities to grow as an educator.
