Cosmotology

Cosmetology & Skin Care

Qualified high school students are encouraged to explore a career in the Skin Care or Cosmetology program through dual-enrollment or the Exit Option program with Westside Tech and their home school. Upon transitioning from the dual-enrollment or Exit Option program into, and completing the adult program, students are qualified to sit for the Florida State Board of Cosmetology licensure examination. Classrooms are located on the Westside Tech campus in Winter Garden and at Maynard Evans High School in Orlando. (Place links to instructors’ info here?)

Students may choose to continue into the adult program and receive hours toward a master cosmetologist’s license upon satisfactorily completing the required hours and services, or exit the high school Skin Care program as a registered Skin Care Technician. These hours and services may also be applied to the adult cosmetology licensure program.

Students are encouraged to participate in SkillsUSA, a national organization promoting work ethics and leadership skills. (Maybe a link to that site?)

For more information regarding the Dual-Enrollment and Exit Option Program, Orange County high school sophomores and juniors should contact the Career and Technical Education Coordinator at their home school.
