New Cosmetology Program Hours In Idaho State

Change is always an opportunity to learn and grow, and the same can be said of our cosmetology program. As of July 2018, the hours required to complete a cosmetology program in the state of Idaho were reduced from 2000 hours to 1600 hours. This reduction of hours changed many things about cosmetology programs throughout the state, and many people question whether the quality of the education would stay the same. We cover everything you need to know about the hours change and how it can affect you!

Less Time, Same Quality

One of the main concerns people had about the hours change would be that the quality of the cosmetology education would go down. After all, 400 fewer hours is 400 hours you could have spent learning, right? The good news is that the education at Austin Kade Academy is designed to deliver the same quality in less time. The program is more streamlined with a greater focus on the essentials and what matters most to cosmetologists. The program spends less time on repetitive things and is designed to help students prepare for graduation sooner.

More Freedom, Less Hassle

One of the big advantages of the hours reduction is that students will end up saving money for their education at Austin Kade. Having 400 fewer hours of school means that students will have three fewer months of rent, utilities, food, and other expenditures they would have to cover while in school. Getting students out the door to their careers more quickly can help students have a financial advantage.

Which Students Does This Affect?

You may be wondering if or how this change affects you and your education personally. If you enrolled in your cosmetology program before the change in July of 2018, your program should be unaffected by the change. If you enrolled in a cosmetology program in Idaho state any time after July 2018, your program should likely follow the new hour requirements. From here on out, all future cosmetology programs should only require 1600 hours. If you have questions about this change, please click here to contact us or give us a call. We’re here to help!
