The cosmetology pathway prepares you to earn state licenses. You will learn theory and practical applications as outlined in state regulations governing the practice of cosmetology by completing the steps for safe and effective cosmetic art services. Advanced students provide supervised cosmetic arts services to the public.
Articulated credit is earned as a result of a student passing the designated CMS CTE course(s) with a final letter grade of a B or higher AND a score of 93 or higher on the NC administered end of course exam. In some cases students must show proficiency in multiple courses plus a certification in order to receive articulated credit. In some cases, there are options. Be sure to pay attention to the AND and OR statements. College articulated courses DO NOT show on a high school or college transcript. These courses, if the criteria is met, will be waived from the applicable program of study through Central Piedmont Community College.
Students are eligible to take the NIC Cosmetology Written Exam once they earn 1000 hours.
