About Monterey Bay Institute of Electrology

Hands-on training from electrolysis professionals

Monterey Bay Institute of Electrology offers a 600-hour course in Electrology. MBIE is a dedicated vocational school that has the aspiring Professional Electrologist in mind. We specialize in the highest quality of education. Our instructors are licensed electrologists who all hold a Certified Professional Electrologist (CPE) designation. Since opening in 2004 MBIE has been successfully teaching both the theory and practical elements of electrology curriculum, as evidenced by the high caliber of "graduates" who are now in the profession.

MBIE is committed to inspiring a professional, competent, and ethical electrologist, challenging the student to not only acquire the technical skills, but also the professional acumen to achieve a successful career. We provide a comprehensive survey of electrology, giving every student the opportunity to attain personal satisfaction and self-growth. Graduates may choose to exhibit their new skills as a well-trained entry-level electrologist entrepreneur either in private practice, as an associate or an employee. This may include working in private practice, a medical office, a dermatology office, or perhaps a day-spa.
