Permanent Cosmetics Training Schedule
Licensed by
Oregon Department of Education
Trainer Member of The Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals
Instructor: Judith Culp, CPCP, CIDESCO Diplomat, NCEA Certified
The NW
Institute of Esthetics offers permanent cosmetic
training that meets the highest standards of ethics and education. It is a
comprehensive program developed to prepare students to be able to perform permanent
cosmetic applications in a safe manner with a desirable outcome.
We acknowledge continuing
education is of major importance and recognize any SPCP approved program.
Esthetics NW would like to
offer a competency based program or allow for home/online
study but this is not available in Oregon.
FACILITY
The classroom portion of the class is designed for two to four students. The classroom
and hands-on training is held at our Clinic: 81 Centennial Loop
Suite #3, Eugene, Oregon. This is
conveniently located walking distance to restaurants, shopping and hotels.
Contact
hotels directly for current rates and let them know you are here for training at our
Institute.
If you
have questions or would like to discuss any aspect of classes, equipment or industry,
please call our offices.
ENTRANCE
REQUIREMENTS
All permanent cosmetic students must be at least 21 years of age and have a high school diploma or GED. The ability to see a full color range is imperative on the part of candidates to
ensure public safety and satisfactory procedures. Full dexterity of both hands
and a steady hand is
necessary to perform the procedures. Some sense of cosmetic artistry, professionalism,
ability to work closely with clients and business acumen will help ensure the technician’s
career success. We recommend students have previous training in
Esthetics, Makeup Artistry, Cosmetology, Nursing, or Electrology prior to commencing
this course. Two years business experience is recommended as this will better help
the technician deal with client issues and business operations. Students must attend an
orientation prior to starting of class.
English language: Class is only available in English. All materials are
only available in English.
CREDIT
FOR PREVIOUS TRAINING
We attempt to allow some credit hours for previous education if this is in alignment with
Oregon Training Doctrines. How many hours an individual student qualifies for may
vary. If you would like to receive credit hours for previous training please advice
on your entry form and we will assist you with this.
CERTIFICATE
OF COMPLETION
A Certificate of Completion suitable for framing and display shall be awarded to each
student who completes all the course requirements including passing a written test,
practical application of procedures on models and technical project. The State of
Oregon will supply licensing certificates upon completion of state testing and
certification.
PLACEMENT
& SUPPORT
As an industry standard, most permanent cosmetic professionals are self-employed.
Guidelines will be provided during the course to assist students in preparing for this
eventuality. These guidelines include business location selection, operations, lease
negotiation and variations in set-up of practices. The instructors are available to
post-graduate students for support and problem solving by phone or email, as is most
appropriate for the circumstances.
SCHOOL
SCHEDULE, ENROLLMENT & DURATION
Students may enroll as space is available. Due to the unique requirements of this program
and the 1:1 student observation during procedures, space will be very limited. Classes
will generally be held from 8:30 – 5:30 but may vary based on model availability. Days
are flexible as we recognize most students will be commuting in from out of town and need
to attend classes on a part-time basis. No classes will be scheduled over legal
holidays. The school may be closed during trade shows to allow students and/or the
instructor to attend. How long a student takes to complete the course may vary based
on student and model availability. It is critical to a timely
completion that the student assist in the recruiting of models who
will receive their work at discounted rates. The student must adhere to state laws regulating
the allowable term of completion.

Part
I – Theory 210 hours minimum
Theory includes material study, completion of assignments, videos, practice on synthetic
materials and observation. Students must complete theory hours before
commencing work on models. All students will have additional practice time during their
hands on portion of the class as they strive to overcome the challenges and obstacles of
learning these intricate procedures. By mid-point in this section they will have worked on
a diversity of devices and Judy will help them obtain the equipment they choose to focus
on for the duration of the course. Students are taught eyeliner, eyebrows, lip color and
small feminine body art. They are introduced to areola re-coloration. Skin
camouflage is not included as this is a very advanced procedure requiring years of
experience to perform successfully.
Part
II – Practical
This is the hands-on portion of the training. Students must complete a minimum
of 50 procedures and a minimum of 150 hours of tattooing. Students may opt to receive a procedure
at no charge but this is not required. Models pay the school per visit and per area of
work being performed by the student. It is the student’s responsibility to assist
in model recruitment. The more models you bring in, the faster you will complete
your training. The school provides all materials, supplies and insurance for the
student. All model work is supervised 1:1 by the instructor, per state law.
Students will work on both new and follow-up models so they have the most diverse
practice experience we can provide. We endorse SPCP convention programs for
continuing education and give credit for their training. To protect the public, the
school retains the right to discontinue or disqualify any student.
TUITION
& FEE POLICY
Enrollment
Fee
$ 150.00
Enrollment fee is held for three days during which time if the student
changes their mind it is refunded. After that time it is an administrative fee and
non-refundable.
Tuition for 360 hour
class
$11,500.00
Enrollment Fee and at least $2000.00 is required to secure a position in
training. Terms of balance due will be negotiated with individual students and size
of payments will be dependent on initial down. We offer in-house
student payment plans for you at no interest as long as the payments
are kept current. Late fees and interest will start to accrue if
payments are late. No certificate or sign-off will be provided for
students who have not paid all tuition and other expenses in full.
We also offer financing through outside lenders. Some students may
qualify for partial funding through the Workforce program in the
county in which they live. They should contact them directly.
It is
important for a smooth program that students have financial arrangements in place before
the start of training. During your initial consultation we will help you explore all your
options to achieve your goals. If
you cannot meet your financial responsibilities you may be suspended
until you are able to do so.
SUPPLIES
There is a $2776 supply fee. This includes all classroom supplies, training books,
on site insurance and SPCP
membership. It includes the I-Star tattoo device and all supplies i needed for practice
including but not limited to synthetic materials, practice materials head, pigments, needles, client
forms, disposables and topical anesthetics. The supply fee is due at the
commencement of class. SPCP membership is not optional as we feel this is the best
place to commence your continuing education. The supply
fee is non-refundable.
UNIFORMS
All students wear “scrubs” which are readily available and inexpensive. Choice of
color and style should suit the individual. We do not recommend white as we will be
working with pigments. Students may layer a scrubs jacket over their scrub top or wear an
appropriate long-sleeved top under it for added warmth. All garments shall be kept looking
professional. No flip-flops. Low heeled shoes only. Students must arrive looking
professional and ready for work.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Students shall be required to attend all school days from the date of enrollment to
graduation. Leave of absence will be granted in case of illness, death in the
immediate family or other cases where the college approves the absence. Because of
the intensive nature of the classes, tardiness is not acceptable. Class days may be
adjusted with the instructor as long as the student meets the Oregon completion of course
date requirements. Being routinely late, routinely unavailable
or no-showing for scheduled appointments is grounds for suspension.
GRADING SYSTEM
No traditional grades are offered. The written tests require 75% correct answers for
passing grade and must be passed before certification is completed. Understanding of
techniques, color, safety and sanitation as well as other related issues will also be
evaluated and reinforced by oral questions and hands on work in the classroom and on
models.
PROGRESS STANDARDS
Students must maintain satisfactory progress while enrolled in training. Each
student is evaluated during each phase of the class. If a student’s comprehension
or performance falls below the passing level of 75%, re-evaluation or additional time will
be recommended for practice and study before conclusion of the program. If the
student chooses not to bring their skills/understanding up to a level that allows them to
safely perform services, no certification will be granted even though they may complete
other requirements. Records are kept by the school and are available to the student as
required by Oregon law.
DISCIPLINARY POLICY
Students shall be a credit to themselves and the school. All school rules must be
followed. The school administration maintains the right to dismiss students for
violation of school rules or for conduct which reflects unfavorably on the reputation or
operation of the school.
REINSTATEMENT AFTER
TERMINATION
If a student is terminated for any reason, re-admittance will be evaluated on an
individual basis according to the evaluation of the school officials.
STUDENT GRIEVANCE
POLICY
Students aggrieved by actions of the school should attempt to resolve these problems with
appropriate school officials. If this procedure fails, and if the allegation, if
proven to be true would be a violation of Oregon law, students may contact the Oregon
Department of Education, Private Career School Section Office of Educational Support
Services, 255 Capitol Street NE, Salem, OR 97310-0203 or phone 503-947-5701
