Schedule Your Campus Tour Today!
If you are ready to become a licensed cosmetology instructor, we encourage you to book a campus tour. Even if you’ve been a David Pressley student before, this is an excellent opportunity to see it from an instructor’s point of view. You can learn more about how we structure our instructor training and the hands-on learning you’ll do during your course. It’s a great way to start the enrollment process!
How We Structure Our Cosmetology Instructor Training
The State of Michigan requires cosmetology instructor training to cover 500 hours of additional training. We exceed these minimum requirements by providing our students with 600 hours of training. This gives our students more time to practice their skills with real students and establish their skills as instructors.
You’ll complete the first 350 hours of training in a junior class. The final 250 hours are done with a senior class, where you’ll journey beyond the classroom to gain skills with real students.
If you are eager to develop your skills as an instructor and learn how to effectively teach the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed in the beauty industry, our course can help you get started. Schedule your campus tour to learn more about our instructor training and to begin the enrollment process.
