The hour-based curriculum includes 444 esthetics hours and 220 practical operations, plus 20 Oregon Laws and Rules hours and 20 career-development hours, totaling 484 hours. Competency-based school training is also available; reciprocity and non-credentialed pathways have separate HLO instructions.
