Program Description: Cosmetology Technician

Cosmetology technician is a profession that has gained tremendous prestige in recent years. The demand for cosmetic services has been skyrocketing for some time now. A professionally trained cosmetologist performs various facial and body beauty treatments. In beauty salons, work takes place in a clean, bright, and organized environment. Clients expect you to perform your work calmly, independently, and creatively, but also seriously and with a sense of responsibility. A cosmetologist must be friendly, hardworking, patient, tolerant, well-groomed, open-minded, and, above all, communicative. As in many other fields, lifelong learning is essential in this profession as well.

Job opportunities in this field are virtually guaranteed, as the demand for skilled, meticulous, and friendly cosmetologists continues to grow. Starting your own career and business is also an exceptional opportunity.

If you have completed a 4-year high school education, your tuition fee for the retraining program is 3,400.00 EUR. For those who have completed a 3-year high school education, the fee for the additional training to become a cosmetology technician is 5,000.00 EUR. The additional training is expected to take 2 years to complete.

Upon enrollment, you will pay a registration fee of 150.00 EUR; each subsequent year, the re-enrollment fee is 90.00 EUR.

For an accurate calculation, you should schedule a consultation with our educational organizers, who, after completing a preliminary assessment of your prior high school education, can tell you how many exams you still need to pass to complete your studies.

Type of Education

Adjustments for Special Education

The requirements for the cosmetology technician program are tailored based on the recognition of an individual’s prior learning. Adult education is a specialized branch of education, so we strive to adapt to your needs as much as possible and take individual needs into account.

Classes for the cosmetology technician program are held 3–5 times a week in the afternoon, as are exams and office hours. Exams are held year-round, and the vast majority of them can be taken at least once a month. This allows participants to set their own pace and tailor their education to their needs.

You can choose between attending lectures and self-directed learning. Attendance at specialized practical modules is mandatory. An exam follows the completion of the lecture series. While the focus is on self-study, you have access to in-person and online consultations with the instructor, during which they will outline your course requirements and objectives and are available to answer any questions you may have.

Upon enrollment, work with the training provider to develop a personalized training plan that outlines the conditions, methods, formats, and deadlines for fulfilling the obligations set forth in the training program.

Lectures

3–5 times a week in the afternoon, according to the schedule.

Some courses do not have mandatory lectures prior to the exam; however, for most professional modules, lectures are recommended or required due to the nature of the profession and the practical skills that can only be acquired in class. Your specific requirements regarding the possible recognition of prior learning will be determined in more detail during the introductory informational meeting.
