LAKE TECHNICAL COLLEGE

Cosmetology, Facials Specialty, Nails Specialty

 
INTRODUCTION

 

Trained and licensed professional cosmetologists in all phases of cosmetology are in demand in each community and area of our country. The Cosmetology programs provide the student with the opportunity to learn the skills and techniques of cosmetology along with laboratory practices, information, related technology, and correct terminology necessary to become gainfully employed in the fields of hair, facials, and nails.

 

Instruction is geared to:

 

1.     Teach the competency standards for cosmetology, facials, and nails, as applicable.

2.     Teach the student to develop good habits of safety, cleanliness, orderliness, accuracy, and precision in all work.

3.     Teach the care, use, and maintenance of all tools and equipment.

4.     Teach the importance of communication skills.

5.     Develop within students an appreciation for natural beauty and creativeness.

6.     Emphasize pride in work.

7.     Prepare the student for the State Board of Cosmetology examination in cosmetology to obtain proper licensure.

 

The purpose of these programs is to prepare a person for employment opportunities as hairdressers, cosmetologists, registered nail or facial specialists, or to provide supplemental training for persons previously or currently employed in these occupations. Instruction is designed to qualify students for employment upon successfully passing the Florida cosmetology license examination or obtaining a registration from the State Board of Cosmetology.

 

The following is an overview of the Cosmetology Program as taught at LTC.

 

Cosmetology learning is divided into practical (work on mannequins, other students, patrons) and theory (academics). Initially, the students begin Grooming and Salon Services core.

 

Once CORE is completed, the students begin learning the required practical skills on school mannequins, their own mannequins, and by exchanging services with each other. They learn from "demos" performed by a faculty, from reading, and from videos.  At the beginning of learning any new "hands-on" skill, the student requires the faculty to be close at hand for guidance and correction as to techniques, procedure, and safety.

See the attached Florida State Department of Education frameworks for more information on program objectives and desired competencies.

 

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

 

Applicants must be at least 16 years of age and should be academically, physically, and emotionally capable of meeting the demands of the chosen program. Applicants make initial application through the Admissions Office. A minimum skills evaluation is part of the admission process.

 

The Florida Legislature requires that prospective students be evaluated to determine levels of reading, math, and language skills. This evaluation helps staff and students in determining the career fields in which each student can be successful. The Cosmetology Program has the following minimum admission requirements:

1.     Complete an LTC online application.

2.     Take the basic skills examination, if required.

3.     Meet with career advisor.

4.     Confer with the program faculty prior to actual enrollment (if necessary).

 

TESTING REQUIREMENTS

 

All applicants for Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs 450 hours or more, with the exception of Florida Law Enforcement Academy applicants, must take a state mandated basic skills examination. Scores are good for two years and must be valid at the time of enrollment.

 

Assessment instruments meeting this requirement include (must be within 2 years of enrollment to be considered valid):

·         A common placement test where a minimum score has been achieved pursuant to Rule 6A-10.0315, F.A.C.;

·         Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE) 11 & 12; and,

·         2014 GED® Tests: Reasoning through Language Arts and/or Mathematics Reasoning where a minimum score (145) as required in Rule 6A-6A.6.021, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) has been achieved.

·         CASAS Goals

Applicants transferring appropriately leveled TABE, GED test sections, or common placement tests must do so by having an official score report sent directly to the Admissions Office prior to enrollment in the program. Scores brought by hand will be accepted only if document provided by the outside testing center is in a sealed envelope. Standardized tests scores are valid for two years.

 

Several exemptions to basic skills testing are accepted. In order to be exempt, a student must submit official documentation to a career advisor for verification of an exemption:

·         Applicants who possess a documented degree in applied science (AAS) level or higher;

·         Applicants who earned a Florida standard high school diploma, 2007 or later (see withdrawal codes for standard);

·         Applicants who are serving as an active duty member of any branch of the United States Armed Services;

·         Documented passing scores on state-designated industry certification tests may be used;

·         Any student enrolled in an apprenticeship program that is registered with FDOE in accordance with Chapter 446.

If a student has met or exceeded standard scores on one area of one test, they may use another test to meet the additional skill area requirements. It is acceptable to combine test scores from more than one test. (Rule 6A-10.315, F.A.C.)

 

Required basic skills exit scores may be waived for documented special needs students as per Florida guidelines. The student must enroll in Applied Academics for Adult Education (AAAE) and begin remediation in order to meet the exit requirements of the CTE program in which the student is enrolled. A student, with a documented disability, who is approaching completion (mastered 90% of the competencies) of the CTE program and has not met TABE scores, may be considered for a TABE exemption.

 

According to Florida Department of Education rules, students who do not meet basic skills exit scores may only retest after 60 documented hours of remediation in the Applied Academics for Adult Education lab or three months if not attending AAAE.  Students may not retake the same test version for six months. We, therefore, strongly recommend that students test early, especially for licensure programs, in order to allow time for remediation and retesting should the need arise.

 

Students who do not meet the minimum basic skills exit scores set by the Florida Department of Education for their program must begin attending remediation classes in the AAAE lab prior to or at the time of enrollment in a Career and Technical Education program and make acceptable progress as determined by the AAAE faculty. Students should meet state mandated basic skills requirements by the time they have completed 50% of their program. Students who do not meet state mandated basic skills exit scores may not receive a certificate of completion as per Florida Department of Education rules.

 

Applicants transferring appropriately leveled TABE, PERT or other accepted standardized test scores from other testing centers must do so by having an official score report sent directly to the Admissions Office prior to enrollment in the program. Scores brought by hand will be accepted only if document provided by the outside testing center is in a sealed envelope.

 

Basic skills test scores are good for two years and must be valid at the time of enrollment. Basic skills scores that expire during continuous enrollment remain valid until the end of such enrollment. Under continuous enrollment, students must be enrolled at least 50% of one semester per school year and may miss no more than one consecutive semester. Continuous enrollment applies to attendance in a single program.

 

The basic skills exit scores for this program are: Reading 9.0; Math 8.0; Language 8.0.

ACCOMMODATIONS

 

Federal and state legislation requires the provision of accommodations for students with disabilities as identified on the secondary student’s IEP or 504 plan or postsecondary student’s accommodations plan to meet individual needs to ensure equal access. Postsecondary students with disabilities must self-identify, present documentation, request accommodations if needed, and develop a plan with their postsecondary provider.

 

Students desiring accommodations or updates to their accommodations are encouraged to self-identify as early in the program as possible. In order to receive disability accommodations, students must self-disclose the disability to the Special Populations Coordinator and provide documentation that clearly shows evidence of a disability and applicable accommodations. The Special Populations Coordinator will schedule a meeting with the student and faculty to discuss the documented disability and applicable accommodations.

 

Accommodations received in postsecondary education may differ from those received in secondary education. Accommodations change the way the student is instructed. Students with disabilities may need accommodations in such areas as instructional methods and materials, assignments, assessments, time demands, schedules, learning environment, assistive technology and special communication systems. Documentation of the accommodation requested and provided is maintained in a confidential file.

 

Students in need of academic accommodations for a disability may consult with the Special Populations Coordinator to arrange appropriate accommodations. Students are required to give reasonable notice (typically 5 working days) prior to requesting an accommodation.

 

TUITION

 

Tuition is charged for adult students at a rate established by the State legislature. Current fee information is available in the Admissions Office. Tuition is waived for eligible high school dual-enrolled students. Tuition is due prior to the first day of each semester based on the Lake Technical College payment calendar. Failure to pay all fees due at the time class begins will result in not being able to attend class and/or clinical if applicable.

 

Students needing less than a semester to complete their program will be registered for either a 4 week or 9 week period of time. This is based on faculty recommendation and administrative approval. Students enrolled in either Facial Specialty to Nail Technician will be charged for a two week period of time for any time missed.

 

CLASS SCHEDULE

 

 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday – Cosmetology A.M.

 5:00 p.m. to 930 p.m. Monday through Thursday – Cosmetology PM

12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday - Nails Specialty and Facials Specialty programs

 

ATTENDANCE POLICY

 

In an effort to develop appropriate work ethics, Lake Tech students are expected to attend all class sessions. As is expected in the workplace, when it is necessary to be absent or late due to illness or emergency situations, all students are to notify the faculty on or before the date of absence or late arrival to class PRIOR to the start of the school day (8:00a.m. or 5:00p.m.) The student attendance policy for each postsecondary program is consistent with industry standards.

 

Campus attendance is kept via a computerized system.  It is the responsibility of the student to log in and out in order to receive credit for class time. This allows the school to keep accurate attendance records for the actual number of hours and minutes attended. Faculty are not expected to manually enter student attendance. Only one override is permitted for failure to log in or out. Therefore, failure of a student to log in and out may result in a documented absence. Logging in or out for another student or having another student log in or out is unacceptable behavior and may result in dismissal.

 

Only regularly scheduled class hours will be reported for attendance. Practice exercises completed at home does not count toward hours in the program. Make-up time will not be accepted except as approved by the Executive Director of Lake Technical College.

 

Absences

A student who is absent for six (6) consecutive class sessions will be withdrawn from enrollment in his/her program. A student withdrawn for absenteeism must petition administration to return. A student having medical documentation or documentation of an extenuating circumstance does not need to petition to return. Students exhibiting a pattern of consecutive absences less than six days will be subject to dismissal as determined by a School Intervention Team. Students with attendance issues will sign an acknowledgement that they have been notified that continued absences will pose a threat to grades and program enrollment. If the student’s attendance does not improve but drops below 60%, the student will be withdrawn unless documentation regarding extenuating circumstances is provided to the Dean of Student Services.

 

Students in non-licensure programs must have achieved a minimum of 80% attendance at the end of each quarter. Students not having met this requirement will be formally notified that continued absences will pose a threat to grades and program enrollment. School Intervention Team meetings will be held as necessary to attempt to alleviate issues resulting in excessive absences and to counsel the student of possible alternatives and consequences. Students who miss more than 20% of their program will not be allowed to re-enroll the next semester and must wait until the following enrollment period to re-register unless the student’s appeal to the Executive Director has been approved. Only regularly scheduled class hours will be reported for attendance.

 

Licensure program attendance policies are more rigid due to licensure requirements. Hours from absences must be made up to meet licensure requirements. An 85% attendance rate is required for Cosmetology.

 

Tardiness

As in the workplace, students are expected to be in their seats promptly in the morning, after break, and after lunch. Students are expected to notify the faculty before the start of class of any anticipated tardies. Hours and minutes missed due to tardiness must be made up to meet licensure requirements. Making up hours and minutes may require a student to extend his/her enrollment.

 

Leaving Campus during School Hours

For safety reasons, students will notify their faculty when leaving campus early. Students may leave campus for lunch provided this is done within the allotted time.

PLAN OF INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES

 

Cosmetology is a l200-hour state-licensed program. Through school laboratory experiences, the program is designed to develop techniques, skills, and knowledge to qualify the student as a licensed cosmetologist after successfully passing the State Board Cosmetology examination.

The technical instruction and information are related in theory and class demonstrations. Emphasis is placed on each student's mastery of the manipulative skills, proper care of equipment, and use of supplies to perform all beauty services.

 

Listed below are the teaching methods and general classification of activities.

 

Methods of Teaching

Material used is self-paced and competency based.  Students proceed at the pace prescribed by the faculty with written, audio-visual, and hands-on training.  They are tested periodically with written and practical testing.  Practical shop experiences are designed to enhance and reinforce the theories involved as well as to develop manipulative skill and good work and safety practices.

 

Methods of instruction include: demonstration; directed study, class discussions; salon talk; motivation; explanation; individual instruction; hair shows; audio/visual films; individual reports; oral questioning; experiments; patron services; group projects; and post- and pre-planning.

 

Every attempt will be made to use as many visual aids as are available to present a more comprehensive view of the cosmetologist, such as the following:

 

1.     Textbooks

2.     Software

3.     Computer-aided instruction

4.     Audio-visuals

5.     Manufacturers' charts, posters, prints

6.     Mannequins

7.     Professional journals and periodicals

 

Online Access

Technology is an integral part of our daily lives.  From smart phones to electronic tablets, these devices are becoming items that many cannot function without.  In addition, the Internet is changing the way education is delivered.  Lake Technical College strives to ensure that our students are able to compete in this technology driven world.  With this in mind, it is recommended that students have an online presence and access to the internet.

 

It is also important that students have an email address that they check on a regular basis.  A lot of information may come to you through your email, so it is important that you check it regularly.  If you do not have an email address, there are numerous services that provide FREE email addresses.  Please make sure your faculty have a current, working email address for you.  See your faculty for more information.

 

Social Media

The advent of social media has created a world-wide communication medium for persons of all ages. While extremely popular, these websites have also created their own set of “not-so-popular” problems such as cyber-stalking, identity theft, cyber-bullying, cyber-cheating (posting of exam, or other course material), and a host of other nebulous challenges that users may face. Another reality associated with social media is its far-reaching consequences for those who share posts that may be seen by others as inappropriate.

 

Potential employers, current employers, civic, or educational organizations you may be associated with, and many others are looking at social media sites for information that may tell them things about an individual. Students should also be cautioned on how private their social media content really is – despite the settings on an account.  All social media sites are potentially vulnerable.  A simple search of how to view pages that are set as “private” for a popular social media website yielded numerous responses for ways to view the content. Everything from blogs to online videos offer to explain how to accomplish this task.

 

Students in all programs need to be cognizant of the fact that most professions rely on great moral character. It is recommended that when using social media, assume that all posts will be seen/read by everyone with access to the Internet.

 

Organization of Student Duties

A student personnel organization chart is in effect at all times. If not posted, it is given verbally by the faculty. The students rotate and will have the duties several times during the year. All students are responsible for cleaning labs, facial room, theory room, shampoo back bar, sinks, all work areas and stations.

 

Duty Assignments

Each student is responsible for keeping his or her assigned station clean and neat. This includes mirror, top surface, drawer, cabinet, chair and chair base, floor in that area, and wastebasket.

 

Part of any job is the cleanup. Example: When you use the facial room to give a facial, you will leave it as you found it - CLEAN. This policy applies to students giving manicures or using the shampoo station area as well, both in the labs and the classroom.

 

Work Based Activities

Work-based learning activities play an integral part of the curriculum of Lake Technical College’s (LTC) career-technical training programs. These activities are planned with two objectives in mind. First, the activity provides students with the opportunity to develop and apply a “real world” experience using the knowledge and skills attained in the program. Second, the activity provides the faculty with objective input from potential employers or customers of program graduates. Each work-based activity has a written instructional plan outlining objectives, experiences, competencies and evaluation required during the activity.

 

Work-based activities are program specific and may include:

 

       Unpaid in-school shop/lab activities to provide customer service opportunities under the direct supervision of the program faculty. Shop activities reflect the objectives, experiences, competencies and evaluations required for each student to complete the program.

       Unpaid job shadowing experiences that may include in-school or off-campus employer-based experiences under the supervision of a qualified employer representative who is working closely with the program faculty.

 
GRADING PROCEDURE

 

The grading policy for this program is as follows:

Cosmetology is all of this and more. It is working at a profession you love, learning constantly to become more creative and more highly skilled. It is learning to communicate with people. It is learning patience with people, on the phone, in the salon, with patrons, with co-workers and with managers and bosses. It is the satisfaction of earning a good check at the end of the week for work professionally done – and that is a very good feeling.

 

Nail Specialist

The manicure/pedicure specialist will perform manicuring, pedicuring, and nail extension services. Diseases and disorders of the nails or skin must be recognized and the patron referred to a physician, if necessary.

 

The specialist will shape nails to the correct finger shape or client's preference and will perform artificial nail services such as caps, wraps, or sculpturing. He/she will also perform artificial nail fill-ins.

 

The specialist will have knowledge of cosmetology law, will obey said law, and will practice sanitation and safety rules to prevent accidents.

 

Facial Specialist

The facial specialist performs skin care and hair removal. He/she cleanses and manipulates the muscles of the face with oils, creams, lotions, antiseptics, packs, and masks.

 

He/she will describe chemicals and implements and will perform techniques used in hair removal (excluding electrolysis) as well as obey cosmetology law, practice sanitation, and abide by safety rules to prevent accidents.

 

Full Specialist

The full specialist is a combination of the nail specialist and the facial specialist. Students taking both classes within one year of the initial start date may receive credit for core classes upon program completion.
