SKIN CARE COURSE OUTLINE AND OVERVIEW
Course Hours: 600 clock hours
The skin care course consists of 600 clock hours as prescribed by the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling. The educational objective of the Skin Care course is to provide the student with training sufficient to pass the State Board exam, to become properly licensed and to perform all duties required under such license, and to secure employment at an entry level. Classes start every three months unless otherwise scheduled. Successful completion of the course qualifies you to apply for the New Jersey State Skin Care License.

Upon completion of 300 hours, all assigned work and upon recommendation of the student’s instructor, the student will advance to senior status and be permitted to practice on clients. All of the student’s remaining time will be spent on practical work, additional lectures, demonstrations, class projects and complete subject review as well as management techniques.
