How to Make the Most of Your Continuing Education Hours

Continuing education may be a requirement, but it’s also a powerful tool to help you level up your skills and grow your beauty career. Whether you’re a seasoned stylist or a fresh face in the barbering world, how you approach your CE hours makes a huge difference.

At Barber and Beauty CE, we believe that continuing education should be more than a checkbox—it should be a smart investment in your future. Here’s how to make the most of every hour.

1. Choose Courses That Go Beyond the Basics

Sure, the goal is to fulfill your renewal requirement—but why stop there?

Look for CE courses that:

• Offer practical skills you can apply immediately

• Include tips for improving client satisfaction

• Cover updated industry regulations and trends

Barber and Beauty CE offers courses tailored to today’s beauty professionals, covering both required topics and valuable knowledge to grow your business.

2. Take Notes and Set Goals

Use your CE time to reflect on how you can improve:

• Are there services you want to start offering?

• Are there sanitation practices you can tighten up?

• Do you want to move into management or ownership?

Taking notes and setting goals during your CE hours turns passive learning into real growth.

3. Look for Flexible, Online Options

Busy day in the shop? No problem.

Online CE lets you learn when and where it’s convenient. Our platform is:

• Mobile-friendly

• Available 24/7

• Designed to let you start and stop anytime

With Barber and Beauty CE, there’s no need to rearrange your schedule. Just log in, learn, and complete your hours at your pace.

4. Turn CE into Client Conversations

When you learn something new, use it as a conversation starter with clients.

For example:

• “I just learned about a new sanitation product that’s even better for your safety.”

• “We’re staying up-to-date on the latest scalp treatments—want to hear about them?”

Clients love to know they’re in expert hands. Sharing what you’ve learned builds trust and loyalty.

5. Keep Records Organized

Always download and save your certificate of completion in case the state board requests it.

Barber and Beauty CE provides instant certificates you can download, print, or store digitally—no waiting, no stress.

Invest Your Time Wisely

The more intentional you are with your CE hours, the more value you’ll get out of them. Choose quality courses, set goals, and apply what you learn—and you’ll see the difference in your work, your confidence, and your clientele.
