Shaping the Industry for Generations: IBW’s Pathway to Teaching Beauty

Do you have a desire to inspire? Discover an incredibly rewarding path to educating the individual you once were. Beauty students crave instructors who are just as passionate as you are. Seeing determination flourish will be nothing but rewarding as you see their dreams become reality. 

You’re an expert, now be the teacher. Embark on inspiring the next generation of beauty professionals and shaping the industry for years to come. Our program at the Institute of Beauty and Wellness provides you with the groundwork to create a meaningful and effective classroom setting and curriculum. 

What Will I Get Out of The Instructor Program?

At the Institute of Beauty and Wellness, we offer a 150-hour program that transforms an expert into an educator. Our program instills all facets of beauty education that will be the foundation for your classroom and your students. 

With a well-rounded curriculum, you will develop the skills to guide and nurture students into the industry. Where they came from will never be forgotten, and individuals like you will be remembered. 

How Will My Day-to-Day Look?

Our program is equipped to fit all learning styles but can relatively be broken down into two segments: 110 hours in theory coursework and 40 hours in hands-on practical training. Everyone will start with theory coursework to establish foundational skills and then move forward to applying these skills on the clinic floor. A sneak peek of your hours: 

Theory Coursework:

Clinic Floor Training:

Our program isn’t a one-size-fits-all; we have curated an educational environment that is adaptable to any learning style. Some media of learning that can be expected are theory and lecture, audio-visual, guest educators, and more. 

What Will You Bring to The Table?

How you perform in the classroom will determine how you perform and shape on the clinic floor. Students want someone they can rely on to guide them. Students desire a positive and fulfilling culture. Students want a high-value education. Therefore, we set high standards for our instructor students.  

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP):

Instructor students are responsible for their learning, productivity, and academic achievement. You would want your students to show up and show out. How will you make the most of your 150 hours? 

Creating clear expectations and overall goals for your time at IBW will take you farther than just the curriculum. Aligning your objectives and your mindset will instill an understanding and confidence in what brought you here in the first place. A blueprint for your vision should look like this:
