At the Monterey Bay Institute of Electrology you will learn how to help your clients build self esteem and self assurance. The Institute provides students with high quality equipment and thorough, comprehensive instruction in the theory and practice of permanent hair removal. In addition to the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology's health and safety rules, the Institute has incorporated Infection Control Standards for the Practice of Electrology as developed by the American Electrology Association (AEA) with assistance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
A total of 600 hours practical training and technical instruction is required in California to qualify for the state licensing examination. Students who wish to practice in states which do not have the mandatory 600 hours may take the 350 hour Hybrid Distance Learning course. Additional hours may be contracted by the student who needs to fulfill various licensing requirements for their state. Theory hours may easily be adjusted to meet specific state requirements.

MBIE now offers an alternative to traditional electrology courses. Potential students can now elect to complete the theory portion of the program as a home-study course utilizing our HDL Program.
An HDL course, refers to classes where there is a carefully planned blend of both traditional classroom instruction and home-study learning activities. Hybrid classes combine the best of both styles of instruction.
While students work at their own pace, they are still expected to make academic gains. Instructors track data on each student to see how each one is progressing, and struggling students can receive additional help during school hours.
The HDL program is designed to correspond with students utilizing the United States Postal service and to facilitate communication electronically by the Internet, Email, Text, voicemail and Skype.
Students enrolled in the HDL course are required to have no less than 340-hours of theory and 260-hours of practical classroom training to meet the 600 minimum hours required by the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. It is important to note that if you select the Hybrid program, you will be completing only the theory portion outside of the Institute, and that you must complete the practical portion at the Institute.
The following 18 states currently do not have licensure or regulations for the practice of Electrology: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, and Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming.
Residents who plan to practice in one of the unlicensed states may opt to take the 350-hour electrology course
