When you were in cosmetology school, your instructors guided you and encouraged you to achieve your goals, so you could be a better cosmetologist. Your instructors had a lot of influence on your life, and you probably remember specific things they said or demonstrated. You could also be an important influence on future cosmetologists! The student teacher program at our Union City, New Jersey beauty school can prepare you to become a cosmetology and hairstyling instructor. We can mentor you in teaching styles, lesson planning, and presentation techniques, so you can excel in the classroom. Learn more about this program and how to enroll at our Latin-focused beauty school.
Teachers make a lasting impact on the lives of their students.
We are proud to offer a variety of full-time and part-time schedules to meet the needs of our students. Schedules for student teachers are set on an individual basis. Our schedule options include:
Classes begin on the first Monday of every month unless otherwise scheduled. Begin the enrollment process whenever you are ready!
A student teacher education is a great way to open up new areas of work in your professional life. You can still practice cosmetology and hairstyling, but once you have a beauty school instructor license, you can also work in a beauty school. You will have a wider influence on the entire beauty industry because you teach the next generation of beauty professionals who will use your knowledge and advice as they make their own clients more beautiful.
Career possibilities for students who complete the student teacher program:
Tuition for the program is $4,700. Books and kit cost $700. Uniforms cost $100. There is also a $100 registration fee. Total cost is $5,600.
While we do offer federal financial aid for some of our programs, we do not offer it for the student teacher program because of the length of the program. If you are looking for ways to help pay your tuition, you could seek out scholarships, student loans from a local bank, or contact us to discuss payment options.
Yes. Our schedule options include part-time day and evening options, so you could work around your school schedule. We may be able to make a specialized schedule for student teachers if that would help you on your journey to becoming a licensed cosmetology instructor.
The program is 500 hours. The time it takes you to complete the program depends on your school schedule. Full-time students could complete the program in as few as 17 weeks, while part-time students could complete it in as little as 25 weeks.
