How we work together in the training room.

These are the rules for every practical, in-person class. Read them before your first session and keep them handy — your instructor will hold you to them, and so will your future clients.

Sixteen rules, grouped by when they matter: before class, in the room, at your station, and for everyone's safety.

New students: sign the required forms before you pay and register.

Forms to sign first

Complete these online before you pay and register. Both take a few minutes.

Registration and payment can't be processed until both forms are submitted. If a form won't load, contact the school and we'll send you a copy.

Before class

What needs to be done before you walk through the door.

  1. 1

    Uniform

    Wear your uniform apron and follow the dress code before class starts.

  2. 2

    Preparation

    • Have all required supplies, books, and digital reading devices ready for class.
    • Bring a notebook for taking notes and reviewing class material.
  3. 3

    Attendance

    • Sign in and sign out daily so your attendance and hours are tracked.
    • If you arrive late, check in with the instructor.
  4. 4

    Payment

    All fees must be paid before class begins.

  5. 5

    Forms

    Complete and submit all required forms, including video release forms and parental agreements, before taking part in any session.

  6. 6

    Punctuality

    Arrive on time and stay until class concludes. Excessive tardiness or absences may affect your grade.

In the room

How we keep class focused, respectful, and useful for everyone.

  1. 7

    Devices

    Keep phones on silent. Recording devices are not allowed without the school's permission.

  3. 9

    Communication

    • Raise your hand to ask questions or join a discussion.
    • Use appropriate language at all times.
  4. 10

    Live models

    Get your instructor's approval before bringing a live model for a practical assignment.

  5. 11

    Feedback and grading

    • Take instructor feedback seriously, and ask for clarification if you need it.
    • Stay open to peer feedback during practical sessions.

Your station

Your workspace and tools are your responsibility.

  1. 12

    Cleanliness and organization

    • Keep your workspace clean, and organize and sanitize tools after use.
    • Dispose of waste properly and follow hygiene protocols to prevent contamination.
  2. 13

    Equipment

    • Take care of all school equipment and supplies. Report damage or issues to the instructor right away.
    • Personal tools are welcome, but they must be clearly labeled.

Health and safety

Speak up early and know what to do in an emergency.

  1. 14

    Health

    • Tell your instructor about any allergies, sensitivities, or medical conditions that could affect your training.
    • Follow all health and safety guidelines set by the school.
  2. 15

    Emergencies

    Know the emergency procedures for fire, evacuation, and other emergencies.

Respect and trust

The habit that carries straight into professional practice.

  1. 16

    Confidentiality

    Respect the confidentiality of clients and fellow students. What happens in the classroom stays in the classroom.
