You must pass the second part with at least a C and have earned a combined total of 600 hours to apply to the NC Cosmetic Arts board for licensing exams.
This comprehensive course provides instruction and hands-on practice in the concepts and techniques of Esthetics. Topics include safety, skin care, make-up, hair removal, brow and lash treatments, and much more. Esthetician students must complete at least 600 hours of esthetician curriculum in an approved cosmetic art school before applying to the State Board of Cosmetic Arts for examination.
When completed, you can apply to sit for the written and practical exam for licensing. Estimated cost of exams: $184.00. This is an additional cost you pay to DL. Roope after graduating from the Esthetic course.
The Esthetic program is set up from the start of class to not only prepare you for the exams required by the NC Cosmetic Arts State Board but also simulate a working environment where professionalism is very important. We do have an attendance policy, a dress code, and daily responsibilities, the same as are expected in the workforce. The Willow Tree student spa, located on the MTCC Marion campus, is open to the public. This is where you will gain the majority of your hands-on experience while being assisted by your instructors.
