West Virginia Cosmetology Additional information:
West Virginia barbers and cosmetologists must fulfill a requirement of 4 hours of continuing education to renew their West Virginia cosmetology license. However, if you have 20 years or more of experience, you are only required to take a 3 hour sanitation course every other year. Our online continuing education classes are approved to fulfill the West Virginia cosmetology continuing education requirements.
That said, not all online continuing education courses are approved in West Virginia for license renewal, so before taking a course other than ours you will want to make sure that the course is approved. If your continuing education provider is not approved by the West Virginia Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists, then the course will not count towards your continuing education hours needed to renew your license.
