Length: 1,100 clock hours, approximately 12 months. (Plus 150 hours safety and sanitation and 100 hours in career development = 1,350 hours.)

Description: Barbering is the study of hair and its associated structures, hair and scalp diseases and disorders, as well as sculpting (cutting), styling (wet and thermal), shampooing and conditioning, wiggery, and barbering.

Format: Students progress through the course in four levels: freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. To progress from one level to the next, students must complete the required hours, required operations, written evaluations and practical evaluations for each level. Students are also required to maintain satisfactory academic progress.

Freshman level is six weeks and is spent in a classroom setting, where students learn the basics in all areas of barbering. In addition to hair cutting techniques, each three-week block also includes customer service and safety and sanitation. Students are given written and practical evaluations at the end of each segment.

After successful completion of 6 weeks of freshman classes, students are assigned to the clinic floor to begin practice and practical skills and customer service skills.

In addition to the above classes, students also attend theory and state board review classes in preparation for senior written and practical exams for state licensing. Students will participate in other classes as assigned.
