Barber

Program Description:

Bates Technical College has the only day and evening college barber program in the State of Washington in which students prepare to become licensed barbers while learning in a stand-alone program and working in an on-campus shop that serves the public. Students are evaluated on the performance of each competency of the curriculum to ensure readiness to meet state licensure requirements and enter the profession. Prior to program completion, each student must take and pass a comprehensive written and practical examination that includes theoretical concepts. The program also provides extended learning opportunities for persons previously or currently employed in related professions. Required barber Kits (2) are purchased in first and second quarters, and are included in tuition and fees.

For program costs and fees refer to the catalog TUITION AND FEES PAGE.
