Albany Technical College will host a virtual ribbon-cutting Live on Facebook, Thursday, February 18, located in Artisan Hall (building D), at 10:00 AM. A small group of College leadership and faculty will be on hand to comment and celebrate the latest addition to Albany Technical College, a new Barbering Lab. 

Barbering is a 56 credit hour program under the Cosmetology Program that rolled out Spring 2020 amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Classes are taught at night at the college. This semester, there has been a 145% growth in barbering enrollment, with 32 students currently enrolled.  With this planned growth in the program, added appropriate teaching space was needed to instruct the students. Nail Technician and Esthetician was approved by the Technical College System of Georgia State Board in August 2018. and will also be moved to the newly constructed Barbering area of the lab in Cosmetology.
