✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This course is written for the barbering side of the industry:

• Illinois-licensed barbers renewing by the July 31, 2027 deadline
• Illinois barber teachers who need the same 1-hour training for their own renewal
• Barber shop owners and managers who want practical harassment-prevention training for their shops
• Booth renters and independent barbers who need proof of completion for renewal
• New licensees preparing for their first renewal after initial licensure

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the Illinois Requirement?

Yes. This course is designed to satisfy the 1-hour sexual harassment prevention training requirement that applies to IDFPR licensees — including barbers — before each license renewal. It is a complete, stand-alone hour from an approved sponsor, so there is nothing else to add for this requirement.

Illinois barbers have no other general CE hours to complete for renewal, which means this single course generally covers the education side of a standard barber renewal. If your license record shows a special condition, confirm your requirements in IDFPR's License Look-Up before renewing.

✅ Illinois Barber Renewal Requirements

Illinois barbers renew every two years, and the education requirement is refreshingly short. Under 20 ILCS 2105/2105-15.5, every IDFPR licensee must complete 1 hour of sexual harassment prevention training before renewal, beginning with the first renewal after initial licensure. The training may come from an employer, the Illinois Department of Human Rights, or an authorized CE provider such as 1st Choice CE.

• Sexual harassment prevention: 1 hour before each renewal — this course.
• General CE hours: none required for Illinois barber renewal.
• Proof: keep your certificate; you certify completion when you renew and produce the certificate if IDFPR asks.

How this course helps: This 1-hour course is designed to satisfy the sexual harassment prevention training requirement for Illinois barbers and barber teachers in full. Because barbers have no other general CE requirement, completing this course generally completes the education requirement for a standard barber renewal.

✅ When Do Illinois Barbers Renew?

Illinois barber licenses expire on July 31 of odd-numbered years — the next deadline is July 31, 2027. The renewal window generally opens in the weeks before expiration. Completing your training early means one less thing to think about when the renewal notice arrives.

✅ How to Renew Your Illinois Barber License

1. Confirm your license status and expiration date. Use IDFPR's free License Look-Up tool to verify your barber license record before you begin.
2. Complete your CE before the deadline. For barbers that means completing this 1-hour sexual harassment prevention training. Finish everything before July 31, 2027.
3. Save your certificates. Your 1st Choice CE certificates are emailed instantly — keep them with your license records in case IDFPR requests proof or audits your renewal.
4. Watch for your renewal notice. IDFPR sends renewal information as your expiration date approaches; the renewal window generally opens in the weeks before the deadline.
5. Renew online through IDFPR's licensing portal. Sign in, review and update your contact information, certify that you have completed your required education, and pay the renewal fee shown for your license.
6. Verify your renewed license. After submitting, save your receipt and check License Look-Up to confirm your license shows an active status and a new expiration date.
