Frequently Asked Questions
Do you report my results to the West Virginia Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists?
Yes, we report all continuing education results directly to the West Virginia Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists. That way you can easily renew your license.
Do I need to take your 4-hour class or your 3-hour class?
You must take the 4-hour class unless you meet one of the following conditions:
- Hair Stylists, Aestheticians, Waxing Specialists, Nail Technicians/Manicurists, Barber Permanent Wavists or Barbers that perform chemical services who have been licensed for twenty (20) years or more are exempt from the continuing education requirements but must take a 3-hour sanitation class every other year.
- Standard Barbers that do not perform chemical services and Cosmetologists are required to complete 4 hours of continuing education for the first 10 years that they are licensed. After a standard Barber that does not perform chemical services or a Cosmetologist has been licensed for 10 years, they are required to complete a 3-hour sanitation course every other year for 10 more years. After a standard Barber that does not perform chemical services or a Cosmetologist has been licensed for 20 years, they are no longer required to complete continuing education hours.
Do you offer any continuing education training that is not online?
We offer online continuing education to renew your West Virginia Cosmetology license. We do not offer any classroom continuing education courses for West Virginia. We find that most students prefer to complete their continuing education online on their computer, smartphone, or tablet.
Do you provide me with a certificate of completion when I finish your continuing education course?
Yes, all graduates of our West Virginia cosmetology continuing education course will automatically receive a certificate of completion upon completing the course. You can immediately download, print, and save the certificate for your records after completing the course.
Do I need to provide my certificate to the West Virginia Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists to prove that I completed my continuing education when I renew my license?
The West Virginia Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists may ask you to provide them with a copy of your continuing education certificate, so be sure to hang on to it.
Are these courses approved?
Yes, our courses are approved by the West Virginia Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists and will fulfill your continuing education requirements.
Do I have to finish the entire course in one sitting?
No, you can complete your entire West Virginia cosmetology continuing education course today, or over the course of several days, picking up right where you left off.
Can I take this course on my phone?
Yes, our courses are mobile-compatible. You can take our courses on your smartphone or tablet.
Do you renew my license for me?
No. Completing your continuing education credits does not complete the renewal of your license. Once you have completed all of your required continuing education, you must pay the West Virginia Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists the license renewal fees, as we cannot do that for you.
