Enrollment: Every student must be beyond the age(16) of compulsory school attendance. In addition, each student must have either a high school diploma or a G.E.D. If the student does not have a diploma or G.E.D., he or she will need to take a T.A.B.E. or Wonderlich (academic level) evaluation. This evaluation is administered by an outside agency not related to the Academy in any way. The Academy does not practice discrimination toward race, creed, color, sex, religion, age or national origin. We offer very flexible scheduling so that all students may arrange class hours convenient to suit their needs. Full-time day classes; part-time day classes and part-time evening classes are available for all programs. We reserve the right to cancel a class if enrollment is insufficient. We will not recruit anyone presently attending or admitted to another school offering a similar program. Transference of prior schooling hours and services is welcome, from within the State of Florida as well as other states or international locations. Due to other subject areas taught in various other states and locations, we find it necessary to fully review prior training to ensure the student is well prepared for Florida State Board Licensing and Certification. A photocopy of transcripts from prior schools or a copy of one's former license is necessary to help us determine subject matter and service requirements. Please consult with the Academy Director for further details. Length of Programs (Full or Part Time) Cosmetology classes start the first Tuesday of each month; Nail Technician and Facial/Skin Care classes start every 6 weeks. Class hours are 5 days per week; Tuesday through Saturday. Programs are calculated on a clock-hour basis with a clock hour being equal to 60 minutes in length. The COSMETOLOGY Program is 1500 hours for graduation. The NAIL TECHNICIAN Program is 240 hours for graduation. The FACIAL/SKIN CARE Program is 260 hours for graduation. Part time day classes are available. Completion dates vary according to contract schedule and required clock-hours listed for the various programs.

Night class information is available upon request. Every student must be beyond the age (16) of compulsory school attendance. In addition, each student must have either a high school diploma or a G.E.D. If the student does not have a diploma or G.E.D., they will need to take a T.A.B.E. or Wonderlich evaluation (an academic level test) and score within one standard deviation set by the test developer. This test is administered by an outside agency not related to the Academy in any way. This test score will be required for all programs offered at the Academy. There are no other prerequisites. Graduate and Diploma Requirements During the pre-admission consultation, students are informed of requirements and financial obligations that must be satisfied. A Diploma is awarded when (1) the program's required hours and services are completed; (2) satisfactory grades have been achieved in all theory and practical work, (3) and all financial obligations met. RECORDS: All records remain at the Academy on a permanent basis. * Although the Department of Business and Professional Regulation allows Cosmetology students to sit for the State Board Exam at 1,000 or 1,200 hours, Fashion Focus Hair Academy requires all Cosmetology students to complete 1,500 hours before applying to sit for the State Board Exam.
