Lesson 3 Quiz
Whether you are a student, recently licensed, or seasoned professional this training course is for you. With around one hour of time spent learning, you will understand everything that you need to know to be an ally for your clients. It’s important to understand that Domestic Violence is on the rise in the United States—let’s learn how to fight against it.
Upon completion of the course, you will receive 1 credit towards your Milady RISE Certification. To complete and receive this certification you’ll also need to take the Infection Control (2-Hour) Course and Human Trafficking Awareness Course.
The training course should take you anywhere from 45 minutes hours to 2 hours depending on your current learning style and how long you take to practice what you learn. You may take the course at your own pace, stopping and starting as it fits your schedule.
There are 5 lessons in the training course with an assessment at the end of each lesson as well as a final exam. You must pass the final exam with a score 70% in order to obtain the Certificate of Completion.
Yes. Milady understands the importance of always pursuing knowledge and refreshing what you learn in an effort to make sure that professionals are best prepared for every situation that arises. With an important course like this, you should always have the best up-to-date information on how to handle the situation and fight against Domestic Violence for your clients’ well-being.
One-half of the proceeds go to the Professional Beauty Association's (PBA) CUT IT OUT®, a program dedicated to mobilizing salon and spa professionals, students and others to fight domestic violence in communities across the United States.
The rest of the funds are used to partially offset costs of running two programs:
1. RISE Partner School program. Provides FREE access to Domestic Violence Awareness, Human Trafficking Awareness, and practical Infection Control to beauty program students through their school.
2. RISE Scholarship (managed by the Professional Beauty Association). A yearly fund of $10,000 (two entry periods, twenty $500 scholarship recipients per year) for students and industry professionals who completed all three courses and got RISE Certified in Client Well-Being and Safety.
I liked that this course teaches you and keeps you informed of all the different types of abuse and how you can help anyone who is in a domestic relationship.

Read MoreThis is my first time ever taking a course of this nature and I must say I am very happy I did! Before this course, I would not know what to look for or even what to say when faced with such a predicament. The course was so informative and I heavily recommend all stylists, estheticians, nail tech, or anyone else for that matter, sign up and take this course!
