Cosmetology Course Overview
Vanguard College of Cosmetology's course outline meets the Louisiana State Board's required hours of study for the standard cosmetology course.
The cosmetology course offers Future Professionals instruction in all phases of hair care as well as instruction in nail and skin care. The course consists of 500 hours in theory and 1000 hours in practical instruction. Those 1500 hours are delivered in three phases; CORE, ADAPTIVE and CREATIVE.
* CORE is learning the rules! You will receive the basic information of cosmetology to prepare you for the more advanced phases of your education.
* ADAPTIVE is bending the rules! Taking the rules that were learned in Core and adding the experience of the clinic floor, a business curriculum and specialty classes will begin to result in expressing your individuality.
* CREATIVE is breaking the rules! It's all about you and what you've learned. Where do you want to present your talent and what new styles, cuts, formulations and techniques have you created?
