TUITION

We train students skills in Cosmetology with sound business management techniques and effective human relations. We train successful Cosmetologists. Our philosophy for training successful practitioners in the cosmetology field is to provide students with professional teachers with imagination, creativity, and ingenuity in their application in professional training. The alert, interest teacher is always a "learner" as today's vocational teacher is not only a technician in the field of Cosmetology, but also a highly skilled and trained person who will continually seek to improve their methods, materials, and profession. It is with sincere intentions to train students of cosmetology to preform with competency and dedication. The academic and career standards are maintained to assure the student of superior capability in their training. The curriculum is kept flexible enough to allow for new procedures and techniques, as they are developed, yet solid enough to maintain high academic standards. The final goal is, of course, to graduate students who will secure and retain employment and advance in their profession.

Instructors' Training

Teachers of Bee Jay's Hairstyling Academy, Inc. teach by lecturing, demonstrating and having students perform under their supervision. Students do not learn a skill when a teacher performs the skill for them. Therefore, the students, with the guidance and supervision of highly skilled and trained teachers, do all the work on the clinic floor. The teachers formalize the course of instruction through the medium of careful occupational analysis, and seek to include all the necessary skills and information needed for success in the training of students.

Methods of Use

Classroom Lectures and Demonstratives (Theory), Laboratory Instructions and Supervision Filed Trips, Evaluation and Advising, Academic Classes in Each Subject, Clinic Operations.

The school is equipped with Audio-visual training aids, tapes and CD's. However, they do not replace the classroom instructor, only assist by improving on the lesson to be learned.
