A path for beauty professionals who want to teach
Instructor Training is for beauty professionals considering a future in education. Teaching takes more than technical ability: it takes patience, communication, and lesson structure. The program prepares you for Illinois instructor licensing through Educational Psychology (educational objectives, student development, and the learning process) and Teaching Methods (lesson planning and design, delivery, and assessment of learning).
You learn to turn subject knowledge into lesson plans, deliver theory and hands-on demonstrations, and assess student performance, alongside the business operations such as inventory, record-keeping, and compliance that school and salon administration require. Confirm current licensure requirements and start timing with admissions.
Prospective instructor-training students should ask about eligibility, licensure prerequisites, current schedule, required documents, and how practical teaching experience is handled.

Instructor Training decision guide
Instructor training suits licensed professionals ready to move from the chair to the classroom. You convert subject knowledge into lesson plans, deliver theory and hands-on demonstrations, and gain supervised classroom and clinic experience under an Illinois-licensed teacher.
The best admissions conversation starts with a student’s goals. Some students are looking for a broad career path, some want a focused service specialty, and some want to build on previous professional experience. For Instructor Training, the strongest questions usually center on lesson planning, demonstration, student feedback, clinic-floor awareness, and education professionalism. Students should also ask how practice is supervised and how feedback is provided as skills develop.
Because schedules and program availability can change, confirm the current details with admissions before enrolling.
Common student questions
Prospective instructors often ask how supervised teaching experience is structured, what the educational-psychology and teaching-methods coursework covers, and whether financial aid may be available to those who qualify. Admissions can confirm current requirements.
Families and career changers should also ask about commute, class format, attendance expectations, salon practice, and how the school communicates with students during enrollment.
How this program connects to the student salon
For instructor candidates, the clinic and classroom are the practice ground: you deliver demonstrations and supervise student work under a licensed teacher. Ask how teaching practice and feedback are structured.
For the Oak Forest campus, the student salon also gives prospective students a concrete way to understand the rhythm of school life. A tour can help them see the environment, ask about tools and products, and picture how a normal training day may feel.
