How recognition works
Recognition follows one person's certificate to one specific location. It is never granted automatically by finishing the course.
- 1An individual enrols in Pre-Trichology Foundations
The course is taken by a person, not a business. Eight modules, 60 lessons with quizzes, and eight module reviews, all self-paced with saved progress.
- 2They complete the required learning and pass the final knowledge assessment
Module reviews first, then the final knowledge assessment. Answers are never revealed, and attempts are recorded.
- 3They receive their individual Certificate of Completion
Issued once by Trichology.com Education with a unique certificate ID and a public verification page.
- 4They link their certificate to a salon location and request recognition
A salon representative submits the location and names the certificate holder. The holder must confirm the affiliation from their own account — entering a public certificate ID alone claims nothing.
- 5Once verified, the location receives its designation and linked badge
We review the certificate and the staff relationship. Applications stay pending until that review is complete. The location then gets a unique salon verification ID, a public verification page, and the badge that links to it.
- The minimum requirement is at least one verified certificate holder currently working at that specific location.
- If the qualifying person leaves, or their certificate is revoked, the location stops showing an active designation unless another verified qualifying staff member remains.
- An individual's certificate is never expired or revoked simply because they leave a salon or their course access ends.
