Electrolysis Course Objective

In addition to covering skin tissue physiology and endocrine system activities, the program investigates a variety of electrolysis techniques, such as Thermolysis, Galvanic Electrolysis, and Blend Method. Under the supervision of an experienced instructor, students use what they have learned in the classroom in clinical labs and work with electrolysis and other hair removal methods and technology to treat irregularities that cause excessive hair growth. The Electrolysis course is 310 clock hours and meets the requirements of the Indiana Cosmetology/Barber State Board of Licensing and Regulation. The scheduled finish time for this course is 2. 5 months for full-time and up to 4.5 months for part-time.

Electrolysis Course Completion

Upon completion of the Electrolysis course requirements, the graduate will:

• Display personal integrity with self-confidence and a positive attitude.

• Display effective communication skills, visual poise, and proper grooming.

• Display effective employer-employee skills.

• Perform all skills at or above a basic level.

• Apply learned theory, technical information, and related matter to assure sound judgments and procedures. To continue to grow as an Electrolysis, the graduate should continue to learn new and current information related to skills, trends, and methods for career enhancement in cosmetology and related fields.

Instruction Methods

Specific tasks necessary for state board preparation and entry-level job skills are taught in sequential steps. Clinic equipment, implements and products are comparable to those used in the industry. Each student receives instruction related to performing useful, creative, and productive career-oriented activities. Education methods used include lecture, demonstration, textbook study, hands-on practice, audio-visuals, guest speakers, projects, and activities.

ACADEMIC PROGRESS EVALUATION

Full-time and Part-time Student Academic Progress (i.e., evaluation on theory, practical and clinical works (however, clinical work is graded on a pass/fail basis only and will not be considered as part of the overall GPA) will be evaluated during the same time periods as stated above in the “Attendance Progress Evaluation”. Each student is expected to achieve a minimum grade point average of 75%.
