Domestic Violence CE Class
IMPORTANT NOTE for 2021: if you have already taken an approved Domestic Violence class for the last renewal, you do NOT have to take it again for the next renewal. The Sexual Harassment Prevention class for 2021 is a new requirement that is different from the Domestic Violence class. You can learn more about the Sexual Harassment class requirements by clicking here. Please see below if you still need to take the Domestic Violence class.
Domestic Violence CE Class
If you CAREFULLY follow Steps 1 and 2 below you will immediately receive an email with a list of 45 providers that have been approved to offer the Domestic Violence class. The email will also include a link to a provider that is offering the Domestic Violence class as an online webinar for only $20. These providers are located throughout IL, and 10 of them are advertising that they are offering the Domestic Violence class for FREE.
Step #1: Purchase any online HairDirections CE class listed above on this page. HairDirections classes do not include the Domestic Violence class, but they will count towards your CE hours required for license renewal.
Step #2: Check your email. After you complete Step 1 above you will immediately receive an email that includes a list of 45 providers that are offering the Domestic Violence class and the $20 webinar link. Please note that purchasing a HairDirections online class will not automatically sign you up for a Domestic Violence class (you can separately register and pay for a Domestic Violence class after you receive the list).
New Sexual Harassment Prevention Class for 2021
You must complete 1 hour of Sexual Harassment Prevention Training for the 2021 renewal. The Sexual Harassment class is different than the Domestic Violence class. You can learn more about the new Sexual Harassment Training requirement by clicking here.
