Distance Education/Online Theoretical Portion and Textbook Home-Study
Theoretical portion for the Certified Electrolysis Program is taught using the Academie Dectro Electroepilation Online Course and Milady’s Hair Removal Techniques: A Comprehensive Manual. Once the student has paid the $1,500.00 deposit and the $100.00 application fee, a username and password will be generated for the student to access the online academy. Once logged in, students can begin the theory at their contracted time. Students will receive their scores immediately after the completion of each online quiz and may progress through the online theory portion at their contracted pace (250 hours).
Students must pass all the online quizzes with a score of 75% or more in order to receive credit for that module. Any quizzes that are not passed online will have to be retaken. To facilitate the assimilation of the distance education/online theory, the student will receive a workbook to complete for the purpose of reviewing materials in order to better prepare them for the Final Theoretical Exam which will be administered as the student nears completion of their program. The workbook will be passed out as part of the Business Starter Kit (may be referred to as student kit or kit throughout this document) on Orientation day.
Practical Hands-On Portion Onsite
The practical portion of the Certified Electrolysis Program is taught on site at the Utah School of Hair Removal. Once the theoretical portion is completed, students are to report to the USHR’s facility for the remainder of their program of 350 hours.
On the first day of in person practical training at Utah School of Hair Removal, the student will attend an orientation. During the orientation, USHR will go over their policies, hand out Business Starter Kit, explain time cards, and other key aspects of your hands-on training. Orientations are offered on the first day of practical education.
During the practical portion of your training, students should aim to work on themselves, other students or models who come into the USHR as much as possible. Practical hours are described as the number of hours the student provides hands-on treatments. Student performance on various practical skills will be tested during the time they are completing the hands-on portion of the program including ethics, the consultation and the execution of a treatment on various body parts.
When students are nearing the end of their training they will be tested upon the practical skills they have learned which will encompass all areas of body work and is considered the Practical Final Exam. It is at this point that students who are sitting for the Utah Cosmetology State Board Examination will need to complete three (3) “mock” state board exams and pass them successfully. These mock exams will be taken under as close to real test conditions as the USHR can offer in order to best prepare the student for the state testing.
