Description
Located in Athens, Georgia, the Georgia Institute of Cosmetology offers hands-on training and certification leading to careers in various areas of the beauty industry.
It’s probably no surprise then that, while a job after graduation is not guaranteed, students have a high job-placement rate at salons, spas, barbershops and other venues.
Georgia Institute’s Cosmetology program leads to certification and careers in hairstyling, make-up artistry, manicuring and esthetic arts.
Under the supervision of faculty, students offer a range of hair, nail and skincare services to the public, thereby giving them the hands-on training so crucial to working in their industry.
The second track at Georgia Institute is designed for those who are already certified in cosmetology and are interested in teaching it to others.
All students interested in either of these programs must be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma or GED and undergo two interviews.
Financial aid is available through loans, Pell grants and veteran’s benefits to those who qualify.
