Understanding an Apprenticeship Program
An apprenticeship combines practical experience with training to prepare you for a barber or cosmetology license. Overseen by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship, our program pairs on-the-job work with instruction. Guided by experienced instructors, you’ll learn techniques and best practices needed to make you a well-rounded professional in a salon or barbershop.
The Apprenticeship Program Duration
Our apprenticeship runs for 18 to 24 months and includes three main parts for a balanced learning approach:
- A 39-hour health and safety course completed over two weeks, with a flexible schedule.
- Part-time or full-time work in a salon or shop to practice skills and earn income.
- A weekly 4-hour classroom session, offered in the morning, afternoon, or evening to fit your availability.
Once you complete the required hours, you’ll be eligible to take the State Board Exam for your barber or cosmetology license.
