Your time at Paul Mitchell The School Boise for the barber program will be divided into six (6) designations:
- Core Curriculum: A 140 hour orientation, known as the Core program, instills the basic fundamentals. Students are graded and evaluated using written, oral, and practical testing methods. Students must successfully complete the Core curriculum prior to attending regularly scheduled daily classes in cutting, men’s grooming, and spa services.
- Clinic Classroom Learning Experience: Your clinic time from 140 to 900 hours will be guided with individual attention and group learning experiences using mini-classes, monthly worksheets, and periodic evaluations developed specifically for this monitoring progress. This is when you begin experiencing your clinic classroom education on paying clients in the clinic classroom area.
- Classroom Learning Experience: Your classroom time from 140 to 900 hours is divided into five (5) areas: cutting, men’s grooming, facials, hair and scalp treatments and hairstyling. Each area has an instructor who conducts the different specialty classes each week; Classroom Learning Experiences may also include retail, motivation, self improvement, professional development, and attendance education which may be conducted by an instructor, non-licensed staff member or guest artist.
- Adaptive Curriculum: From 140 to 500 hours you will enter a new phase of elective classroom workshops coupled with challenging practical services designed to continue building you into a confident designer.
- Creative Curriculum: You will spend your last 400 hours in “high gear” by dressing, acting, and working like a true professional. You will use your own artistic and creative abilities, coupled with the assistance of the Learning Leaders, to prepare yourself for your future beauty industry career.
