Electrology Licensing Program for Iowa

For those living in the "Hawkeye State" of Iowa, it is what we refer to as a licensed state, which means it regulates the practice of electrology through licensing. The state of Iowa requires that electrology students complete 425 hours of training before being allowed to sit for the state electrology licensing exam.

600 Hour Licensing Program

Our 600 hour licensing program meets and exceeds your state's training requirements and will allow you to practice in other states with higher training requirements through reciprocity. Upon graduation you will have ample preparation for the Iowa state licensing exam and a secure foundation for your new career.

This electrology program for Iowa is delivered in two modules for maximum flexibility. To minimize traveling and time away from home, the theory module can be completed online. Your hands-on, practical training is done in-school and can be completed in as little as five and a half weeks. For hands-on training, you can attend all 5 1/2 weeks in one session or break it down into one or two week increments.

Enrollment

Our Electrology program is offered on an open-enrollment basis. This means that you may begin any day that works for you and you can complete your training on a flexible schedule. Depending how you choose to study, you may complete your training in as little as 4 months or take as long as 12 months.

The flexibility of our programs makes the choice all yours! As an AIE graduate, after passing the state exam you'll have the credibility that automatically comes with the professional designation, "Licensed Electrologist."
