The purpose of this course is to train students in basic manipulative skills, safety judgments, proper work habits and desirable attitude necessary for an entry-level position in cosmetology and/or related careers. This course consists of 1600 clock hours of study in both theory and practical skill development that is required for licensing the Washington State Department of Licensing. Theory and practical practices precede laboratory activities with students expected to complete assignments in each phase of training and receive a passing grade on each exercise before being allowed to participate in laboratory activities. Theory and practice are integrated throughout the cosmetology course. All education and learning environments at Elite Cosmetology, Barber & Spa Academy are conducted in English (Spanish available in Cosmetology & Barber) to include classroom activity and clinic floor education. 45% of hours detailed below may be done through distance learning and a signed/dated Distance Education policy/disclaimer form, currently only available in English through CIMA by Milady. VA beneficiaries must complete all their training in person. Online training is not an option for those using VA benefits.

Employment performance results
Data is unavailable for one of several reasons: In some cases, the institution has not provided the Workforce Board with data to independently evaluate program performance. We encourage all schools to provide this data on an annual basis. In other cases, the program joined Career Bridge recently and student data has not been reported yet. In other cases, the program is too small or too new to provide reliable results.
