What to Expect In Our Cosmetology Teacher Training School

Finding a school that is just as passionate about beauty as you are is crucial when becoming a beauty instructor. Our teacher training program is a graduate level course that can lead to a diploma in the study of teaching methodology and is the prerequisite for state licensure. Before you can apply for this program, you’ll need a current Cosmetology Arts and Science license prior to commencing the program.

We understand how important your career goals are. That’s why our program is built to teach you the skills you need to bring your passion to life. During your time with us, you can grow your skills and learn the techniques in classroom preparation, student communication, documentation, and more!

The opportunities are endless here at LJIC and the tools for success are given to you. You just have to apply them! I love Wednesday and Thursday mornings We [student & staff] meet to discuss the week ahead and build together as a team.

I chose LJIC because it gave me more options to learn different areas rather than just hair only. You learn nails, the spa side of Cosmetology, and everything else.

An Interactive Learning Environment

At La’ James International College, it is our goal to prepare our students for their future in the classroom. We want to emulate real situations and scenarios you might experience as a beauty instructor. During your program, you can present theoretical and practical demonstrations to students in the basic cosmetology curriculum while under the supervision of a licensed instructor.

Smaller Class Sizes

We maintain a 15 to 1 student-to-educator ratio, so you get the time and personal attention you deserve. We want students to feel supported by our educators to ensure our students can pick up concepts quickly in a supportive environment. Students are not just a number in a classroom at La’ James International College.

Becoming a Beauty Instructor

As part of running a beauty school, we understand your goal of wanting to become a beauty instructor. While we can’t guarantee employment after graduation, we can help prepare you for the opportunities that may come your way after graduation. As a part of our curriculum, we include a business and careers essentials portion that dives deeper into career and employment information. It is our goal to prepare you for your future and give you a good educational foundation to help you achieve your career goals.

Teacher Training Program FAQs

How long is your teacher training program?

Our teacher training program is 1000 hours or 2 years of consecutive experience in licensure discipline. It often follows our cosmetology program schedule or other classes, so training teachers work with our instructors and current students for real experience teaching in a classroom.

What are the prerequisites before applying?

Before you can apply for this program, you’ll need a current Cosmetology Arts and Science license prior to commencing the program.

When do classes start?

LJIC has classes starting every four weeks at each campus. However, not all programs start each month, and a minimum class size may be required for the program to start. For our teacher training program, classes often start a week before our next cosmetology start date.
