How long is the Trichology Training Program?

Our online program is self-paced and therefore can be completed in less than 6 weeks. Students are still required to take the 2-Day in person CLinical Training upon the completion of the online program to ensure hands-on techniques are properly performed to be successful in the field of trichology.
for in-person instruction, students will attend class 2 days per week for instruction/theory for one hour and fifty minutes per session.

Students have the option of choosing an online/virtual option or the in-person option when enrolling in the Trichology Certification Course. either option consist of a 6-week program.
Why don't you offer a 2-day certification for trichology?
It is impossible to learn all that you need to learn to successfully practice Trichology and effectively treat clients in 2-4 days. If our educational institution's name is attached to your certification, then we need to ensure you obtain the proper instruction to successfully practice trichology on your own.

This exam can be taken online at any time. a final score of 80% or higher must be received to advance to the two-day clinical training, which is required to obtain certification. results of the test will be sent to school administration. upon review, administration will send a link to register for the 2-day clinical.
