instructor training coursework —

Our Instructor Training program prepares you to become a full-time or part-time educator in cosmetology, with knowledge of Aveda products and techniques. The program is split into three phases. 

First up is Teaching Methods, Assistance, and Observation (150 hours), which explains the essentials of being an educator—covering basic teaching methods, lesson preparation, and speaking effectively to your students. 

Next up is Effectiveness of Instruction and the Science of Teaching (175 hours), which dives deeper into the same topics, then explores the purpose (and effectiveness) of various testing methods, how to choose appropriate tests, and how to evaluate teaching methods. 

Finally, there’s Learning Environment and Supervised Practiced Teaching (150 hours). This covers a variety of other must-know topics, such as classroom control and conditions, recordkeeping, assessing students’ needs and motivations, and all-important safety procedures. An additional 25 hours is also spent on Instructor Qualities and the Performance of Demonstration.
