Hello, this is a question for all the professionals. After having been successfully treated with electrolysis over the years I have decided (after toying w/the idea for years) to train to be an electrologist. I live in LA but work in NY so I am torn between the American Institute in Long Beach, CA or the Berkowitz School in NY.
I’m basically looking for the all round better school as far as training as I’m not sure where I’ll end up. I live in LA, work in NY and also spend time in NJ/PA. I know some of it is a matter of opinion but I would love to hear peoples thoughts and feedback about the 2 schools. Thanks so much for your time 
I would say that the student is more important than the school. If you want to learn, you can learn anywhere. As far as a school recommendation, since California is a licensed state, you will have an easier time getting a California license if you do your school work in California.
See, that was easy. (NY & PA are unlicensed states, and NJ is a licensed state where it seems easier for people from out of state to get licenses at the moment. If you plan on moving to NJ, just make sure you get your CPE before you are a NJ resident 
)
Thx James. Do they let you hold more than 1 license (ie- a CA and a NJ) or do you have to turn 1 in to get another?
Yes, unlike driver’s licenses, you may collect them all! 
It would still be easier to get a California License, a CPE and THEN a New Jersey License.
I once whimsically planned to hit all the states and collect all the various electrolysis licenses, but the practicality of doing it made the utter uselessness of having them all overwhelm the idea of the novelty of being the only person who had done so.
(But if I did, I could claim to be the United States Electrolysis Champion! giggle-snort! Of course, just like becoming a “Unified Champion” in Sports, the madatory title defense schedule [renewal schedule and expenses] causes one to lose the extraneous titles due to the impracticality of keeping them, once one has obtained them.)
As one individual licensed in a state 3,000 miles away from where that individual practices said:
Last year I had to complete 10 CEU’S (Continuing Education Units) to renew my Massachusetts License & Registration as an electrologist and no one at the board had any knowledge of where to find testing for Certified Educational Units and electrolysis courses in the State of Arizona that are acceptable to the Massachusetts State Board of Registration of Electrologists. If you are a resident of Massachusetts you could attend the one and only electrolysis school in the state and attain your CEU’S there at cost of $400.0O dollars. Also with today’s gasoline price going back and forth to school can be quite expensive but flying in from Arizona Boston to take a course would have been tad bit more expensive. Conversely electrologists in Arizona like me are at a disadvantage. Then again Myron Heimlich of Texas Electrolysis Supply 1-800-626-6025 came to the rescue. Myron actually referred me to one of his competitors who sold correspondence DVD Electrolysis Courses with the examinations and a reputable testing department acceptable to the Massachusetts State Board of Registration of Electrologists. Now how many Electrolysis Distributors-Suppliers have that information, confidence and the integrity to refer a client to a competitor because they do not have that particular product? Now in my book that’s what I call professional service at its best.
So you see, keeping an out of state license can be a bit of a burden. Of course, it does make sure that when people complain about you, the licensing body can always just keep cashing your checks and saying, “Were sorry, that incident occured outside of our jurisdiction. Please make your complaints to your local authorities. Oh, you are in an unlicensed state? I guess there is no one to complain to.”
