• Teaching methodology
• Educational psychology
• Classroom management
• Other teaching-related courses

This course provides 10 hours focused on those teaching-related topics.

Important: This course does not necessarily complete every renewal requirement by itself. Some teacher licensees need additional CE hours beyond these 10 teaching-related hours, and separate required topics may also apply depending on the license and renewal cycle.

✅ Illinois Teacher License Renewal Requirements

Illinois teacher CE requirements depend on the license type.

Cosmetology Teachers and Cosmetology Clinic Teachers generally need 24 CE hours for renewal. Ten of those hours must be in teaching methodology, educational psychology, classroom management, or other teaching-related courses.

Esthetics Teachers generally need 20 CE hours for renewal. Ten of those hours must be in teaching methodology, educational psychology, classroom management, or other teaching-related courses.

Nail Technology Teachers generally need 20 CE hours for renewal. Ten of those hours must be in teaching methodology, educational psychology, classroom management, or other teaching-related courses.

Hair Braiding Teachers generally need 20 CE hours for renewal. Ten of those hours must be in teaching methodology, educational psychology, classroom management, or other teaching-related courses.

This course is designed to provide the 10 teaching-related CE hours. Licensees should confirm whether they need additional CE hours, domestic violence and sexual assault awareness education, abnormal skin growth education, sexual harassment prevention training, renewal fees, or other IDFPR requirements before submitting renewal.

✅ When Do Illinois Teachers Renew Their Licenses?

Illinois renewal dates vary by license type.

Nail technician, nail technology teacher, nail technology school, hair braider, hair braiding teacher, and hair braiding school licenses expire on October 31 of even-numbered years.

Licensees may generally renew during the month before the expiration date. You should complete your CE early and keep your certificate for your records in case IDFPR requests proof of completion.
