This is a state-certified program of instruction designed to prepare students to become a licensed professional cosmetologist or barber. Michigan's cosmetology course includes 1,500 clock hours (barbering includes 2,000) of mandatory attendance. In order to complete this requirement, students must be committed to attending the program during an extended day all through their junior and senior years and the summer that falls between. Students not meeting this requirement during their EFE enrollment will need to complete the program at their own expense. Upon successful completion of this prerequisite, students will be prepared to take their Michigan State Board Exam.
