Electrology Licensing Program for District of Columbia

The seat of our nation, D C operates under the motto of Justice To All. If you wish to practice electrology in D C you must first know that electrology is regulated through licensure and training must be at least 600 hours in a state approved school.

There are presently no electrology schools in D C so for prospective electrologists, know that AIE's 600 hour licensing program will meet your state requirements.

Our Program

This program is delivered in two modules, theory and practical. The theory module can be completed online and constitutes 45% of the curriculum or 272 hours, while the hands-on practical instruction is done in-school and represents 55% of the curriculum or 328 hours. To help you study at your own pace, the theory and practical training modules may be taken separately or together.

Our 600 hour licensing program is offered on an open-enrollment basis. You can start any day you wish and it's possible to complete your training on a flexible schedule. This means that training can take as little as 4 months, full time or you can take as long as 12 months.

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