The Intermediate Cosmetology Certificate of Completion shows continuing personal, professional, and educational development. Students will be able to communicate intermediate skills and practices incorporating the health and safety standards necessary to reduce and minimize public safety issues in the workplace. This certificate will cover intermediate level cosmetology concepts; the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology health, safety, and disinfection standards; intermediate level instructional lectures and techniques; and written and practical examinations. Students will expand on the basic theoretical and practical understanding of industry safety standards to include practical applications on volunteer patrons from within the community. Upon completion of this certificate, students will have demonstrated this knowledge in daily practice within a simulated salon environment on patrons from within the community. Locally projected increases in cosmetology workforce demand will expand career opportunities to students within various employment opportunities for high desert graduates. Job opportunities include hairstyling, manicuring, esthetics, self-employed cosmetologists, educators, freelance and special event hires, salon management and ownership, and cosmetology product developers, as well as expanding into other industries where aesthetics and self-care are evolving.
