  • What are the benefits to becoming a member of Cosmetology Instructors Network?

    A major and very beneficial membership benefit is access to the Trading Post. The Trading Post is where you can obtain (download) and contribute (upload) digitized educational resources such as Presentations (including PowerPoint slide shows), photographs, graphs, and other images to use in your Cosmetology classes. It is the equivalent of having a Cosmetology educational library at your fingertips. Another benefit is the delivery of our Educator Update publication. Educator Update is the magazine of Curl Talk. It's filled with informative articles -- this magazine will be not only a value to you, but to your students as well. Membership benefits also include discounts for attendees who wish to take the Cosmetology Instructors Network Instructor course and attend our yearly Educational Summit.
