Why and How to Renew Your License

The aim of the cosmetology industry is to beautify and help their clients feel good about themselves. The dynamic, changing and creative environment of Cosmetology offers a productive and satisfying career that is not exempt of requirements. Cosmetologists are expected to follow the state laws and regulations of their trade.

The renewal of your Cosmetology License is important. Failing to comply with it can lead to fines, and/or license suspensions. Renovating your license is fundamental to maintaining legality and credibility as a cosmetologist. With a busy work schedule, researching all the details on how to update a cosmetology license can feel overwhelming.

1A Continuing Education, an official provider of continuing education for the Texas Department of Licensing of Regulation or TDLR, strives to facilitate this task.

In order to extend the validity of your license, TDLR states that you must complete your continuing education “during the two years before your license expires”.

The Cosmetology’s License Renewal Course from 1A.CE is easy to follow, self- explanatory and budget friendly. It is accessible from any device (smart phone, tablet or computer) where there’s reliable WIFI. Designed for a flexible schedule and available 24 hours a day, it can be broken down into comfortable on and off periods of time, each time you log in again, you will be back to where you were the last time you were logged in.
