How Long Is Delaware Esthetics School Training?

In order to work as an esthetician in Delaware you must complete training that consists of at least 600 classroom hours of school work, or an apprenticeship of not less than 1,200 hours with a licensed aesthetician. Further studies will be required if you want to be a DE medical esthetician, but those classes aren’t available online.

Apprenticeship aspirants must find a licensed aesthetician to train them then complete an Application for Apprenticeship. The trainer you find must currently hold a Delaware license, and the salon where you’ll complete your apprenticeship must be a business in good standing. Some prefer an apprenticeship in order to avoid some of the potentially high costs of school. Find the school closest to you by entering your ZIP:

There’s an application fee and you need to show an official transcript showing that you have finished grade 10 successfully.

After finishing the necessary hours with your sponsor, he or she must then send verification of that to the Board office.

DE Esthetician Exams & License

Once you are done your training you must take exams — practical and written. Registration is used to determine your eligibility for testing. To take the exams you must:

  1. pay a fee
  2. have a passport photo
  3. submit a copy of your high school marks
  4. submit a transcript from your aesthetics program

You will also receive a notice that confirms the date, time, and location of your practical examination about 1.5 weeks prior to the exam.

You must score at least a 75% on both portions of the examination to pass and receive your esthetician license. Delaware exam info – pdf.

The license will expire on March 31 of all even-numbered years (e.g. 2022, 2024…). You will be notified automatically when it is time to renew, so keep up-to-date with your email and street addresses. It’s good to keep abreast of trends in esthetics but there is no requirement to do so in order to keep your license.
