✅ Who Should Take This Package?

This package is built specifically for Illinois-licensed hair braiding teachers renewing an active teacher license:

• Illinois-licensed hair braiding teachers renewing by the October 31, 2026 deadline
• Instructors teaching braiding theory, practical technique, or clinic supervision
• Braiding teachers who need both teacher-focused CE and current braiding practice hours
• Instructors who still need the 1-hour sexual harassment prevention training
• Teachers at their first CE renewal who need the domestic violence and sexual assault awareness hour

✅ Does This Package Satisfy the Illinois Requirement?

Yes — this package is designed to cover the full 20-hour continuing education requirement for Illinois hair braiding teacher license renewal, including 10 hours of dedicated teacher-focused CE, plus the state's mandatory topics.

• 20 of 20 hours: 10 teacher-focused hours + 8 profession renewal hours + the 2 mandatory-topic hours.
• Sexual harassment prevention: the required 1-hour training is included and counts toward your 20 hours.
• Domestic violence and sexual assault awareness: the 1-hour course Illinois requires at your first CE renewal is included and counts toward your 20 hours at any renewal.

If you also hold a separate practitioner license, remember that each license carries its own CE requirement — check both records in IDFPR's License Look-Up.

✅ Illinois Hair Braiding Teacher Continuing Education Requirements

Under Illinois law (225 ILCS 410/3E-5), Illinois hair braiding teachers must complete at least 20 hours of approved continuing education during the 2 years before each license renewal — double the hours required of hair braider practitioners. Training must come from an approved sponsor, and each CE hour equals at least 50 minutes of instruction.

• Total hours: 20 CE hours every 2-year renewal cycle.
• Teaching-related content: training must be in IDFPR-approved subjects, which include teaching methodology, educational psychology, and classroom management — this package includes 10 teacher-focused hours.
• Sexual harassment prevention: 1 hour is required each renewal for IDFPR licensees and counts toward the 20-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.
• 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 20 of the 20 required hours for Illinois hair braiding teacher renewal — including 10 hours of dedicated teacher-focused CE, 8 hours of hair braider professional renewal content, 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 hair braiding teacher renewal.
