Let’s drive the future of cosmetology education forward—together.

51% of cosmetology students are failing the Texas Written Exam on the first attempt.

That’s not a student problem. That’s a system problem.

Our research across North Central Texas revealed:
• Misalignment between curriculum and the PSI exam blueprint
• Inconsistent educator preparation after the removal of the instructor license
• Limited access to PSI-style practice and testing strategies
• Gaps in theory-heavy areas like Infection Control and Licensing
• Students lacking test-taking strategies and academic readiness skills

Even though the exam requires 70% to pass and covers 100 questions across key domains , many programs are still not teaching to the level of the test.

The result? Students complete 1,000 hours of training… and still struggle to earn the license they worked for

That’s why we’re bringing solutions to the table.

Join us at the Driven to Win Summer Conference | July 7–10

✔️ “Think Like the Test” instructional strategies
✔️ Real PSI-style assessment tools
✔️ Proven methods to increase pass rates

It’s time to stop guessing and start aligning.
Let’s build programs where students don’t just complete hours… they pass the exam and launch their careers.
