Creating a curriculum for a barbering program (often referred to as online Barber School to signify the start of a professional career) requires a balance between technical mastery, safety, and business acumen.
Here is a comprehensive 1,000-hour course outline designed to take a student from a novice to a licensed professional.
Course Duration: 1,000 Hours (Approx. 25–40 weeks)
Objective: To prepare students for the State Board Examination and successful employment in a professional barbershop.
Phase 1: Foundations & Safety (0–150 Hours)
Before picking up a clipper, students must understand the "why" behind the "how."

- Tool Theory: Understanding the mechanics of adjustable clippers, outliners, and shears.
