FAQ
Can this course be completed online?
​Yes! You can complete this course online at your own pace. The initial 4-hour HIV/AIDS course must be from a Florida Cosmetology board-approved provider (which we are).
​
How do I complete this course?
To complete this course, read the course materials and take an open-book exam for each section (multiple attempts are allowed). Your certificate will be available immediately after the exam is completed.
​
Is this course only available in English?
All of our courses and exams are web-based. The course is in English, but you can translate any page into any language, including Spanish, Mandarin (Chinese), Korean, or Vietnamese if needed.
​
How is the Florida Cosmetology Board notified that I took the 4-hour HIV course?
​
After you pass the exam, download and print your certificate and include it with your Florida application. As an approved education provider, we must provide electronic files to the department within thirty (30) business days of the completion of your course. We strongly advise that each student download and print the certificate and mail it directly to the Division of Professions.
Please mail your completed application, documentation, and required fee(s) to the following:

The board has now moved to paperless licensing, meaning they no longer mail you a license. Once your license is issued, you will get an email from the DBPR. Next, print off your license on the Cosmetology Board website.
