It is extremely important that you take care of your kit and the supplies, as you should be using them every day for the duration of your education. The student kit must be kept at the school. We provide you with a student kit so that you may practice your new skills in school. If for any reason, your student kit needs to be replaced, this will be the financial responsibility and obligation of you, the student.

Esthetics Instructor Training
1. A current copy of the laws and rules of the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology.
2. All teaching demonstration materials will be provided by the school as needed throughout the course.
SUPPLIES: All other supplies are furnished by the school. Students are not allowed to bring in supplies from outside the school without the approval of an instructor. At no time shall outside products be used on any school clients without prior approval.
Maximum Time Frame
The maximum time frame a student must complete the course is within 150% of the contracted end date. Periods during which a student has formally requested and received a leave of absence will extend the student’s contract and maximum time frame by the exact number of days in the leave of absence. Scheduled holidays or bad weather will not count in this calculation. Periods of illness, excused or unexcused absences, are counted in this calculation. Transfer hours from another institution that are accepted toward the student’s educational program are counted as both attempted and completed hours for the purpose of determining when the allowable maximum timeframe has been exhausted. SAP periods are based on scheduled contracted hours at this institution.
The chart below gives an example of the maximum time allowed for regular full-time and part-time scheduled students:
Esthetics Instructor - Full time 32 hours per week: 600 hours ÷ 32 hours/week = 19 weeks. 19 weeks x 150% = 29 weeks max.
The maximum time allowed for transfer students who need less than the full course requirements or part-time students will be determined based on their scheduled hours.
Any student exceeding the maximum time frame will be considered as passing if academic and theory grades are satisfactory. Any student who exceeds the maximum timeframe will be terminated from the program and would thereafter be permitted to re-enroll into the same program on a prorated cash-pay basis.
