Disclaimer - Hybrid, Distance, and/or Apprenticing Learning may not be for everyone. All three require discipline, being a self-starter, reading and comprehending verbal and written theory, and practical demonstration. Global Beauty and Barber Institute offers all three options for advanced students who enjoy accelerated learning.

Hybrid Learning - Blended learning, also known as hybrid learning, is an approach to education that combines online (distance/remote) educational materials and opportunities for interaction online with traditional place-based theory and practical classroom methods.

Distance Learning - Distance learning is a way of educating students online. Lectures and learning materials are sent over the internet. Students work from home, not in a classroom. Distance Learning is a form of learning that fits to our ever-changing world – an education that works remotely and quickly without compromising the student-teachers experience.

Apprenticeship Learning - Apprenticeship learning is based on 50 percent of the student’s clock hours concentrated on theory-based content; taking and passing their theory exam. The second 50 percent of the student’s clock hours are received in a salon, spa, nail salon, or barbershop; taking and passing their practical exam in order to become licensed in the beauty or barber industry. Students will receive all theory and practical requirements with learned educational values from educators and practitioners in the Barber, Esthetics, Cosmetology, and Nail Technology careers. Hours are able to be completed in full-time day schedules. Medical Aesthetics courses do NOT qualify for an apprenticeship learning pathway.
