CURRICULUM

COSMETOLOGY

People who transfer into our college who previously attended other schools are amazed how much more they learn here in six weeks than they learned at their previous school—and the learning goes on the entire time you are enrolled.

The academy is one of over 2000 schools worldwide that teach the Pivot Point Curriculum. Students completing this training have the advantage of graduating from the most widely recognized training program in the world. If for some reason a graduate has to move out of this area, being a graduate of a Pivot Point school gives them a definite advantage.

Our students’ outstanding performances in state, regional and national contests over the years have helped give our school a reputation throughout the state and further. Most salon owners that hire our graduates tell us that our students have the skill level of someone who has three years experience or more.

Our comprehensive, structured program taught by highly trained and dedicated teachers, along with a staff who really care about the future success of our students, has also contributed to our reputation as the up-state’s premiere cosmetology school.

In addition to the most thorough training offered by any college in this area, the Academy offers its student the complete Michael Cole “A Little Off the Top” training program to help its students learn how to build a client base. This program, often referred to as “Boot Camp” has been offered by Michael Cole to professionals who pay up to $1,500 to attend for a number of years. People attending report increasing their revenues by more than 30% within six months.

The advanced training is offered by professional and well-trained educators geared at preparing its graduates for the real world of work, the continuing emphasis on people skills and promoting and growing their business once they graduate. The encouragement to continue their training throughout their lives probably more than anything else helps explains why 9 out of every 10 graduates from the Academy are working in the field of cosmetology three years after they graduate. Sadly, the national average is only 1 out of 10. That’s right; our graduates have a success rate that is the mirror opposite of those from most other schools.”
