CEICI study plan

CEICI · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Electrology Modalities and Techniques & Anatomy and Physiology of Skin and Hair

  • Distinguish galvanic, thermolysis, and blend modalities by current type, mechanism of action, and typical indications

  • Label a skin cross-section diagram from memory including epidermis layers, dermis, and hypodermis

  • Trace the hair growth cycle and identify which phase each modality targets

  • List the components of a professional epilator and state the function of each

Your checkpoint

A one-page modality comparison table plus a hand-drawn, fully labeled skin and hair follicle diagram scored against a checklist

Week 2

Electrology Modalities and Techniques & Anatomy and Physiology of Skin and Hair

  • Explain how current, intensity, and timing interact to produce effective epilation without overtreatment

  • Describe the anatomy of the follicle, sebaceous gland, and arrector pili and their relevance to probe insertion

  • Compare anagen, catagen, and telogen follicles in terms of treatment response

  • Sequence the steps of a complete epilation treatment from preparation to post-treatment care

Your checkpoint

A written 10-step treatment sequence with the rationale for each step, reviewed against course notes

Week 3

Hair and Skin Conditions, Disorders, and Contraindications & Infection Control, Sanitation, and Safety

  • Differentiate common skin and hair conditions from true contraindications using a self-built classification chart

  • Identify bacterial, viral, and fungal conditions that require treatment deferral

  • State the standard steps of hand hygiene, skin disinfection, and instrument reprocessing

  • Match each category of instrument to its required level of decontamination

Your checkpoint

A contraindication reference chart with at least 20 conditions sorted into treat, defer, and refer categories

Week 4

Infection Control, Sanitation, and Safety & Hair and Skin Conditions, Disorders, and Contraindications

  • Apply standard precautions to a written scenario involving a client with a bloodborne pathogen risk

  • Explain safe sharps handling, probe disposal, and needlestick response steps

  • Recognize signs of skin infection or irritation that warrant stopping a treatment

  • Demonstrate correct donning and doffing order for personal protective equipment

Your checkpoint

A scored infection-control scenario exercise with written answers to 10 safety situations

Week 5

Client Consultation, Assessment, and Treatment Planning & Professional Standards, Ethics, and Scope of Practice

  • Structure a client consultation that captures medical history, medications, and skin assessment

  • Write intake questions that surface contraindications without diagnosing

  • Draft a treatment plan for three sample client profiles with differing needs

  • Summarize scope-of-practice boundaries and when to refer to a physician

Your checkpoint

Three complete sample consultation forms with treatment plans and referral notes where appropriate

Week 6

Professional Standards, Ethics, and Scope of Practice & Epilation Practice and Treatment Delivery

  • Apply informed consent, confidentiality, and documentation standards to written cases

  • Identify scope-of-practice violations in five short scenarios and state the correct action

  • Describe probe selection, insertion angle, and depth principles for different body areas

  • Outline post-treatment care instructions and expected skin reactions

Your checkpoint

A five-scenario ethics and scope exercise with written corrections plus a client aftercare handout

Week 7

Epilation Practice and Treatment Delivery & Electrology Modalities and Techniques

  • Plan treatment intervals and session timing based on hair growth cycles

  • Adjust technique parameters for sensitive areas, dense growth, and curved follicles

  • List troubleshooting responses for common treatment reactions

  • Build a treatment record that documents parameters and outcomes

Your checkpoint

A completed mock treatment record with parameter log and a written plan for a six-session client course

Week 8

Professional Practice and Business Management & Professional Standards, Ethics, and Scope of Practice & Client Consultation, Assessment, and Treatment Planning

  • Draft a basic business plan outline covering licensing, insurance, and record retention

  • Explain professional liability and continuing education obligations

  • Complete a timed mixed-domain practice set and score it

  • Review missed items and rewrite weak concepts in your own words

Your checkpoint

A timed 60-question practice exam with a scored answer key and a written remediation list

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 80% on a self-made 20-question quiz covering domains 2 and 4 without notes

Week 4: Pass a verbal or written walkthrough of infection-control steps with no missed critical safety step

Week 6: Complete all three consultation forms and correctly identify every scope violation in the five scenarios

Week 8: Achieve 80% or higher on the timed 60-question mixed practice exam and close all remediation items
