How many hours of continuing education are licensees required to acquire per licensing period?

In Vermont, there is no requirement for continuing education hours for cosmetologists during the licensing period. This means that licensees do not have to complete a specific number of hours in continuing education to maintain their license. This lack of requirement allows professionals in the cosmetology field to renew their licenses without the additional obligation of educational hours that some other states might enforce.

While various states have different regulations regarding continuing education, Vermont’s stance simplifies the maintenance of licensure for cosmetologists, focusing instead on the practical skills already obtained through their training. This approach can be beneficial for licensees who may not have the time or resources to commit to continuing education courses.
