About the program

The 1,500-hour cosmetology course combines hair, skin and nail training with supervised client services. It leads to a school diploma and prepares graduates for Tennessee’s licensing examinations.

What you get

A diploma requires the 1,500-hour course, a passing school final, at least 70% in theory and satisfactory practical work. Training hours are not released for certification while a balance is owed. Graduates then apply for licensing examinations; examination and licence fees are separate.

Schedules & start dates

Classes meet Tuesday–Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The course plan uses 30 clock hours per week over 50 instructional weeks, with completion expected within 14 months.
