Prospective enrollees are required to visit the facilities of the school and to discuss personal, educational and occupational goals with school administrative personnel before enrolling, attending class or signing enrollment agreements along with completing an Admission interview. The school is accepting applicants for admissions into any of our programs as regular students once the following criteria has been met.
- The school requires that each student enrolling in these programs (beauty educator training, barber, cosmetology, esthetics, and manicuring) must:
a. Complete an application of enrollment
b. Must be at least 17 years of age
c. Provide a copy of his/her High School Diploma, GED or school transcripts. - Students lacking the High School Diploma or its equivalent, must have completed the 10th grade level of education or its equivalent as required by the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology and pass an Ability to Benefit exam. Currently, our school is using the WONDERLIC BASIC SKILLS TEST. This test is approved by the Secretary of Education, Washington, DC. Two tests will be administered, and you must receive the minimum passing score of (200) for Verbal Form VS1 or VS2, (210) for Quantitative Form QS1 or QS2.
Students who register in other programs must be at least 17 years of age and must provide a valid ID issued by the U.S Government Agencies.
*Foreign Diploma or Transcripts
Cosmotek College will accept a foreign diploma or transcript; however the diploma or transcript must be equivalent to U.S. high school diploma and must be translated into English by a certified translator or a notary public.
Cosmotek College does not accept credit for experiential credit, challenge examinations and achievement tests. Cosmotek College does not award experiential credit.
All students who withdraw in good standing may re-enter, with a fee of $100, depending on the mitigating circumstances, into the course of study without the loss of credit for prior hours and operations earned during the prior enrollment. If the student transferred to other institutions before returning to Cosmotek College those hours and operations earned at that institution would also be credited to the student for the new re-enrollment, if applicable. Each re-entry is treated on an individual basis. Cosmotek College reserves the right to reject students that had withdrawn from Cosmotek College previously.
The State of California requires that any person desiring to conduct business as a cosmetologists, esthetician, manicurists, massage therapists, or Loan Officer and Real Estate Agent must first complete the state required clocked hours and curriculum at a certified school and second pass the state licensing exam. Cosmotek College programs are designed to provide the state required educational curriculum necessary to qualify the student to take the license exam and to enhance the students’ capability to pass the exam, while at the same time prepare the student to actually work in the industry.*The California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC), and California Department of Real Estate may and will most likely perform a background check to determine eligibility of the student to take the licensing exam. It is the student’s responsibility to determine if certain past criminal convictions (if any) will prevent them from obtaining the required state license. This is expected to be done prior to enrollment.
Cosmotek College does not offer ESL as part of it’s training. We may recommend students to take remedial English classes concurrently.
Classes will be conducted in English. Students are to provide their own translation of any and all materials in any languages other than English.
