Zoom Crossover Esthecian ProgramNORWALK, Calif. - May 13, 2020 - Cerritos College’s Cosmetology Program now offers a new accelerated crossover esthetician program for licensed cosmetologists.

To enroll, students must have a cosmetologist license. Cosmetologist students can obtain an esthetician license for only 200 extra hours in a 9-week session in fall or spring.

The original curriculum is lab focused, as are all the classes in the Cosmetology/Esthetics programs. The course quickly adapted to an online learning environment while the College continues its programs remotely due to COVID-19.

“I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that the Cosmetology Program proceeded to open the program even during these difficult times for many. It has been an amazing journey where I have grown in my passion for skin care. Thanks to all the teachers and staff, I’ve enjoyed, learned, and grown,” said Kathy Bates, a student in the new crossover program.

The program is accepting new students to begin in the fall 2020 semester. For more information, please contact Rossi Petrova at rpetrova@cerritos.edu
