Personal beauty service is recognized as a necessity by most people today, and performance of this service can be satisfactory rendered only by operators who possess the skills and knowledge of the trade and who are adept at social courtesies.  A state license is required for the practice of beauty culture, and a formal examination must be passed before this license can be obtained. State registration is required for trainees who, by their registration, become apprentices for the required 1500 clock hours of study of physiology, chemistry, math, and other technical information pertaining to the trade.  The laboratory and classroom work is supplemented by training and practical experience in accepted practices relative to the hair, scalp, skin, and nails.

The Instructor Trainee course consists of 300 hours training.  The course consists of student teaching, lesson planning, curriculum development, record keeping, and classroom management.  Prerequisites for this program include a high school diploma and a current Cosmetology license.

25.93% of graduates from this program, who completed their studies in 2010-2011, completed it within 15 months.

The above figure accounts for any graduates who completed within 100% of the length of the program. Because Cosmetology students must fulfill 1500 clock hours of class attendance to graduate and be eligible to take the state licensing exam, any missed time for illness or family emergencies will lead to a student not being counted as an on-time graduate.

The Council on Occupational Education, TTC Dickson's accrediting body, calculates the graduation rate for all Cosmetology students, regardless of the length of enrollment, at 60.98% for the 2010-11 year.
