The Cosmetology Teacher Training program is a limited admissions program. Only 15 students are accepted each Spring semester. The program is designed to provide licensed cosmetologists the instruction and teaching experiences necessary to become a cosmetology instructor. The practical experience received in this program will help you to develop teaching skills, prepare coursework, deliver lessons, and evaluate students. Students are asked to have at least one year of experience as a cosmetologist before applying to the Cosmetology Teacher Training program. Upon completion of this program, which is 500 clock hours, students are eligible to take the LA State Board of Cosmetology’s Instructor’s Practical Exam for licensure.
