Program Overview
If you’ve already earned your license in cosmetology or esthetics and you’ve always been a go-to resource for your fellow students or beauty colleagues, becoming a beauty instructor may be for you!
Here at Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute Charlotte, we offer two Instructor Training programs, each designed to prepare you for the next meaningful step in your career. Get ready to take your passion to the next level by sharing your expertise with a new generation of beauty professionals.
Though the Charlotte campus offers two distinct Instructor Training programs, both focus on teaching principles and effective education. All our instructor students are already licensed in their chosen field, so the objective of the training is to teach you how to teach, not to teach you cosmetology or esthetics techniques you already know.
Instructor training subjects covered in each program include:
- The challenges of teaching
- Characteristics of teaching
- Students and learning
- Developing a course of study
- Planning for effective instruction
- Developing instructional aids
- Evaluating student performance
- Creating a positive classroom environment
Additionally, each program emphasizes practical experience, enabling you to put what you learn into practice through a student-teacher module.
The curriculum provides licensed professionals with the training to become an educator in their field of study. The objective of this program is to prepare the students for the state licensing instructor examination. Upon completion, students will have the skills to seek employment as an instructor with the knowledge of Aveda products and techniques.
