Academic Progress:

The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as determined by
assigned academic learning. Students are assigned academic learning and a minimum number of practical
experiences. Academic learning is evaluated after each unit of study. Practical assignments are evaluated as
completed and counted toward course completion only when rated as satisfactory or better. The software will report
completion of the practical assignment. Practical assignments are assessed using rubrics. Students must maintain a
70% academic average (combined written and practical). Numerical grades are considered according to the
following scale:

Points Status
90-100 EXCELLENT
80-89 GOOD
70-79 SATISFACTORY
69 and Below UNSATISFACTORY

BARBERING COURSE

Description:
This course, which is taught in English, consists of nine hundred (900) hours of instruction in the art, science, and
business of professional barbering. A comprehensive full service approach applicable in today’s salon environment
is stressed. The students will receive instruction in “theory” (textbook/lecture oriented material) and in “clinical”
experiences (actual models and clients).

The first four hundred and fifty hours (450) hours of the course the student is designated “junior” status. Learning
activities take place in the classrooms separate from the “Clinic” to assure a quiet and orderly learning environment.
Junior students receive instruction in the basic methods of all the areas covered in the course. No previous
knowledge of any aspect of barbering is required or assumed. Students learn through a combination of lectures,
visual aids, demonstrations, and “hands on” practical experiences on mannequins and component hair. Opportunity
is also provided for students to practice on each other and models for testing to offer a more realistic learning
experience. Juniors wear white uniforms to signify their status.

The second four hundred and fifty (450) hours of the course the student is afforded “senior” status. Senior learning
activities take place in the classrooms and clinic. Along with continued theory and mannequin assignments, senior
students perform barbering services as realistically as possible to a modern salon environment. During this phase of
the course the student is guided in gaining experience designed not only to develop and perfect the skills previously
acquired, but to aid in the development of the speed, confidence, salesmanship, customer relation skills and
professionalism required for success in the professional salon environment. Senior students often receive tips from
clients who are satisfied with the barbering service provided. Senior students wear black uniforms to differentiate
themselves from the junior students.
