Bring your professionalism and technique, and we’ll deliver mentored guidance and time in front of real beauty school students.

An Instructor Program Built on Real-World Teaching

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 can 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.

CTC is by FAR the best school in Acadiana. Amongst the highly experienced teachers, the respectful staff and the very well-trained students… it would be difficult to find anything in comparison. Highly recommend for both clinic work & career choice!

Instructor Training FAQs

How long is the Instructor Training program?

The program is 600 clock hours and combines instructor theory with hands-on classroom and clinic experience. Your completion timeline depends on your effort and attendance. The Admissions Team can share projected completion dates based on your timeline.

Who is this program for?

Instructor Training is generally designed for licensed cosmetologists or estheticians who want to transition into teaching. If you’re unsure about eligibility or have questions about Louisiana requirements, speak with our Admissions team to review your background and next steps. Requirements are set by the Louisiana State Board of Cosmetology.

What will I actually do during training?

You’ll learn how to plan lessons, deliver demonstrations, coach students during practical work, and evaluate their performance. You’ll also assist with classroom management and student records while observing how instructors keep classrooms and client services on track. The goal is to complete the program with skills you can use on day one in your own classroom.

Does this guarantee a teaching job or license?

No. The program is designed to help you build educator skills, but employment and licensure are not guaranteed. We work closely with salons and schools throughout Louisiana, though, and will try to make you aware of opportunities that may be suitable for your skillset and goals. Your outcome is determined by your prior credentials, experience, and effort in the program.

What hours do you offer for Instructor Training?

Our Instructor Training program runs on a weekday schedule. The school operates from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. with Cosmetology classes happening during the day and Esthetics courses running in the evening. We are closed on weekends and major holidays. Our hours are designed to allow trainee instructors to balance their training with their jobs and family responsibilities.
