4-hour TDLR CE for barbers & cosmetologists.
CortovaCosmo: Your License, Renewed With Confidence
Pending approval — Pending TDLR approval. Enrollment opens the day we're approved.
What it is
CortovaCosmo is the four-hour continuing education course Texas barbers and cosmetologists need to renew their TDLR license. It covers the state-required hours — sanitation, Texas law and rules updates, and health & safety — in a course that respects a professional's time and intelligence.
What renewal courses get wrong
CE for this industry has become a toll booth: pay, scroll, attest, renew. The dominant providers recycle the same law summaries year after year, in courses visibly built before smartphones existed. Professionals who take sanitation seriously deserve material that takes them seriously.
How CortovaCosmo does it
- Visual sanitation training — disinfection workflows, tool handling, and station setup shown step by step, salon-real
- Law updates that matter — what actually changed in TDLR rules and what it means behind your chair
- Real consequence stories — inspection findings and how to never be one
- Audio overviews — renew your knowledge between clients
Status
CortovaCosmo is pending TDLR approval. When approved, your completion reports to TDLR automatically and this page opens for enrollment.
