One of the new classes offered via Andis Virtual Education will be Systematic Barbering with Andis Educator and Ambassador, Kenny Duncan
Andis Company, a leader in professional tools and education for the barber, beauty and animal grooming industries, has expanded their globally recognized educational offerings by creating a new platform focused on in-depth instructional offerings: Andis Virtual Education. Now, professionals seeking long-form educational programming can access the expertise of the entire Andis Global Education Team through an innovative digital service that enables hands-on learning without leaving their salon, shop or home.
Separating Andis Virtual Education from the numerous instructional Instagram Live demos already offered is the professionals’ unique ability to engage easily with educators through the cutting-edge digital platform. From getting more one-on-one attention in small classes to covering topics in detail with classes that run from 1.5 to four hours, professionals will dive deeper than ever before.
Additionally, courses are designed to be hands-on, with mannequins, model dogs or live pets recommended to attendees before each session to ensure active participation.
“COVID-19 has forced education to go digital, and it too often feels like a shadow of its former in-person self,” said Angie Perino, Global Education Manager for Andis Barber and Beauty. “Our innovative Virtual Education platform will change the game and raise the bar for professional expectations of digital education.”
“As an organization, Andis has successfully built a world-class education team. Now, we are expanding the community’s ability to tap these experts and build their professional career,” said Nicole Kallish, Global Education Manager for Andis Animal. “Everything we do as a company focuses on creating and maintaining excellence, and the expansion of our educational offerings into the digital landscape is no different.”
Andis Beauty and Barber Virtual Education courses begin at $50. Andis Animal Virtual Education courses start at $35. Class fees range based on class length and products included with purchase of tuition.
