✅ Who Should Take This Package?

This package is for Illinois cosmetology-trades licensees who need the state's two mandatory CE topics but already have (or plan to earn) their remaining hours elsewhere:

• Illinois cosmetologists completing their 14-hour CE requirement
• Illinois estheticians, nail technicians, and hair braiders completing their 10-hour requirements
• Cosmetology, esthetics, nail technology, and hair braiding teachers completing their 20- to 24-hour requirements
• Licensees at their first CE renewal, when the domestic violence and sexual assault awareness hour is required
• Salon and spa teams that want every licensee covered on the mandatory topics
• Licensees who took general CE elsewhere and only discovered the mandatory topics at renewal time

✅ Does This Package Satisfy the Illinois Requirement?

It fully covers Illinois' two mandatory CE topics — and only those topics.

• Sexual harassment prevention — covered: the 1-hour training Illinois requires every renewal cycle for IDFPR licensees.
• Domestic violence and sexual assault awareness — covered: the 1-hour course required at your first CE renewal; the hour counts toward your total at any renewal.
• Remaining CE hours — not included: your profession's remaining general hours (for example, 8 more for estheticians, nail technicians, and hair braiders, or 12 more for cosmetologists) must be completed separately.

If you need everything in one purchase, our 10-hour Illinois packages for estheticians, hair braiders, and nail technicians already include both mandatory topics.

✅ Illinois Mandatory CE Topics — What the State Requires

Illinois requires specific mandatory topics on top of each profession's general CE total. Under 20 ILCS 2105/2105-15.5, every IDFPR licensee must complete 1 hour of sexual harassment prevention training before each renewal, beginning with the first renewal after initial licensure. Under the Barber, Cosmetology, Esthetics, Hair Braiding, and Nail Technology Act, 1 hour of domestic violence and sexual assault awareness education is required at a licensee's first CE renewal and may count toward the total at later renewals.

• Cosmetologists: 14 total CE hours per 2-year cycle, including the mandatory topics above.
• Estheticians: 10 total CE hours per 2-year cycle, including the mandatory topics above.
• Nail technicians: 10 total CE hours per 2-year cycle, including the mandatory topics above.
• Hair braiders: 10 total CE hours per 2-year cycle, including the mandatory topics above.
• Teachers: 20 CE hours (esthetics, nail technology, hair braiding) or 24 CE hours (cosmetology) per cycle, including the mandatory topics above.

How this package helps: This package provides both mandatory-topic hours — the 1-hour sexual harassment prevention training and the 1-hour domestic violence and sexual assault awareness course — and both count toward your CE total. It contributes 2 hours toward your overall requirement; the rest of your general hours must be completed separately.

✅ When Do Illinois Beauty Professionals Renew?

Renewal deadlines vary by license type. Cosmetologist and esthetician licenses expire September 30 of odd-numbered years (next: September 30, 2027). Cosmetology and esthetics teacher licenses expire September 30 of even-numbered years (next: September 30, 2026).
