✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This package is built specifically for Illinois-licensed cosmetologists renewing an active Illinois license. It is a good fit for:

• Illinois-licensed cosmetologists renewing by the September 30 odd-year deadline
• Salon professionals who want to finish all 14 hours online at their own pace
• Cosmetologists who still need their 1-hour sexual harassment prevention training
• Licensees completing their first CE renewal who need the 1-hour domestic violence and sexual assault awareness course
• Busy professionals who want all 14 hours from one approved sponsor, with one login and one receipt
• Cosmetologists returning to practice who want a practical, Illinois-specific refresher

✅ Does This Package Satisfy the Illinois Requirement?

Yes — this package is designed to cover the full 14-hour continuing education requirement for Illinois cosmetologist license renewal, including the state's two mandatory topics.

• 14 of 14 hours: the package provides every CE hour most Illinois cosmetologists need for a standard renewal.
• Sexual harassment prevention: the required 1-hour training is included and counts toward your 14 hours.
• Domestic violence and sexual assault awareness: the 1-hour course Illinois requires at your first CE renewal is included and counts toward your 14 hours at any renewal.
• Teachers need more: cosmetology teachers and clinic teachers need 24 hours — see our 24-hour teacher package below.

If your license record shows a special condition — for example, a first renewal after initial licensure, which is generally exempt from CE — check your record in IDFPR's License Look-Up or ask us before enrolling.

✅ Illinois Cosmetologist Continuing Education Requirements

Under Illinois law (225 ILCS 410/3-7), Illinois cosmetologists must complete at least 14 hours of approved continuing education during the 2 years before each license renewal. Training must come from an approved sponsor in IDFPR-approved subjects, and each CE hour equals at least 50 minutes of instruction.

• Total hours: 14 CE hours every 2-year renewal cycle.
• Sexual harassment prevention: 1 hour is required each renewal for IDFPR licensees and counts toward the 14-hour total.
• Domestic violence and sexual assault awareness: 1 hour is required at your first CE renewal; at later renewals the hour may still count toward your total.
• Teachers: cosmetology teachers and clinic teachers have a higher 24-hour requirement.
• First renewal: brand-new licensees are generally not required to complete CE for their very first renewal — confirm your own record before purchasing.
• Proof: Illinois does not require sponsors to file your hours; you certify completion when you renew and keep certificates in case of audit.

How this package helps: This package provides all 14 of the 14 required hours for Illinois cosmetologist renewal, including the mandatory 1-hour sexual harassment prevention training and the 1-hour domestic violence and sexual assault awareness course. After completing it, no additional CE hours are generally needed for a standard cosmetologist renewal. Cosmetology teachers should use the 24-hour teacher package instead.

✅ When Do Illinois Cosmetologists Renew?

Illinois cosmetologist licenses expire on September 30 of odd-numbered years. The next renewal deadline is September 30, 2027. Your continuing education must be completed within the 2 years before your expiration date, and the renewal window generally opens in the weeks before the deadline. Renewing on time keeps your license active and avoids late fees or restoration paperwork.

✅ How to Renew Your Illinois License

1. Confirm your license status and expiration date. Use IDFPR's free License Look-Up tool to verify your cosmetologist license record before you begin.
2. Complete your CE before the deadline. Illinois cosmetologists need 14 CE hours, and this package covers all of them in one purchase. Finish everything before September 30, 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.
