Electrology Licensing Program for Oregon

If you'd like to become an electrologist in the "Beaver State," Oregon is what we refer to as a licensed state, which means it regulates the practice of electrology by licensing.

The Oregon Health Licensing Agency requires that electrology students complete 600 hours of training before being allowed to sit for the state's electrology licensing exam.

After completing this training and passing the exam, you'll become a licensed electrologist, able to practice in the state of Oregon and also eligible to join the Oregon Association of Licensed Electrologists.

How It Works

Our program to become a licensed electrologist in Oregon is delivered in two modules, for a total of 600 hours to satisfy Oregon's training requirement.

For your convenience, all the theory training can be completed online and constitutes 45% of the curriculum while the hands-on practical training is done in-school and is 55% of the curriculum.

With AIE, it's easy to become an electrologist in Oregon! Our program is offered on an open-enrollment basis. This means that you can start any day you wish and can complete your training on a flexible schedule, depending on how much time you can spend studying each month. You can complete your training in as little as 4 months or take as long as 12 months. The choice is all yours!

As an AIE graduate, upon passing the state exam you'll have the credibility that automatically comes with the professional designation, "Licensed Electrologist."

Why Choose Electrology?

We appreciate that you are considering AIE as a path into the lucrative field of electrology. As an electrologist in the state or Oregon you have a number of great options as far as places of employment.

With electrolysis being in high demand, you will never have to worry about job security. Even new graduates thrive in this field. You will have to travel to our school in California for your hands-on practical training. You can do this in one session or break up this module into two or more sessions. 

PLEASE NOTE: It is important to know that Oregon only offers its electrology licensing exam every 6 months, in May and November.

We strongly suggest that you call for details on the all licensing and training requirements associated with Oregon, as it is unique amongst all states in our nation. Our toll-free line is 1-888-844-4247.

Electrolysis Reimagined

Electrolysis machinery

For many years those of us associated with electrolysis understood that epilators operated at a frequency of 13.5 megahertz. About twelve years ago Dectro International introduced its Platinum line of epilators that operate at 27 MHz. Our horizons were expanded. Their claim is that hair is permanently removed 25% faster and with a degree of comfort previously unheard of. So what are we to make of an epilator that operates at 6.68 MHz?
