In Several States Jobs In Cosmetology, Design And Repair Require MORE Training Than Becoming A Cop

During coverage of the recent Charlotte protests CNN reporters encountered a man named Derrick Jacobs, who told them he spent more hours training to be a barber than police in his state spend to become police officers. The reporters looked into his claim and found it was valid — and that North Carolina isn’t the only state where this is the case. In several states around the country you can become a cop more easily than you can a manicurist or repairman!!!

 

Peep the breakdown below, via CNN but keep in mind that many police departments still choose to surpass the state’s minimum required training times:

 

    In North Carolina, It takes 1,528 hours to become a licensed barber. The state’s minimum police training requirement is 620 hours. (Charlotte-Mecklenburg police require another 278 hours of training.)

 

    In California, you’ll need at least 664 hours of academy training. (The state then requires at least 14 weeks of field training.) If you want to be a licensed cosmetologist, you’ll need more than that: 1,600 hours.

 

    Florida’s minimum training requirement for officers is 770 hours, but the training required to be an interior designer is much longer. Those who complete a 5-year interior design program still need to get 1,760 hours of experience before they can get a license. Those who complete a 2-year interior design program need 7,040 hours of experience.

 

    It takes at least 900 hours to become an officer in Massachusetts. To be a licensed refrigeration technician, the state requires 1,000 hours of training if you have less than 4,000 hours of apprenticeship experience. (this is for technicians who work on 10-ton refrigeration equipment.)

 

    The minimum training requirement for Michigan police officers is 594 hours. To work with electrical signs, you’ll need 4,000 hours of experience.

 

    Louisiana has one of the lowest minimum training requirements for entry-level police, at 360 hours. To be a licensed manicurist, you’ll need 500 hours.
