About the Program

Required For Your NY Barber License

All new applicants who wish to apply with the State of New York as a Barber Operator or Barber Apprentice — and all individuals renewing an existing Barber Operator or Barber Apprentice license — must complete a program of study on the Transmission of Contagious Diseases to be employed in barber shops.

How It Works

  1. Enroll. You receive the first packet: an enrollment agreement and the program booklet. Return the signed agreement with your payment.
  2. Study. Once we receive your signed agreement and payment, we mail the second packet containing the examination based on the booklet. Read and study before taking the exam.
  3. Take the exam. Complete it fully and mail it back to A.B.I.
  4. Get certified. We grade your exam; upon passing, we mail you two certificates of completion — one for your apprentice or master barber application, and one for your records.
