Solutions For Schools
Depending on your type of vocational or trade school, our products on EasyPassPrep can be very beneficial to your school by helping your students to better succeed. For example, in California, one-third to one-half of all barber and beauty students fail the State Board Written Exam and need help passing the test. Schools of other vocations or trades may find that their students are lacking in essential computer skills critical to the success of their programs and need an accelerated solution to help them catch up.
By working strategically in collaboration with our solutions, both your school and your students can benefit immensely. The more successful your students are, the better for your school’s reputation. A school’s reputation is its most valuable asset! It directly drives student enrollment, attracts top-tier educators, secures essential funding, and fosters community trust.
We offer special prices to schools wanting to provide our solutions to their students.
Three key areas we offer school solutions are:
State Board Written Exam Options For Barber And Beauty Students
State Board Written Exam Options For Barber And Beauty Students
The one major mistake most students make is that they start to prepare for their State Board Written Exam two or three days before the test instead of weeks to months in advance. The result being “one-third to one-half” on average fail the written test.

We have options to provide our EasyPass State Board Written solutions to your school. We have two formats for our EasyPass solutions for the State Board Written: Online Courses and Physical Books. You must ask yourself based on the culture of your students, which option is best for them. Some instructors prefer the online course for their students, others the physical book, and yet other instructors prefer using both.
The following breaks down the two options:
Online Courses
The online courses have more features than the physical books, such as more practice tests and audio for the practice sections which helps students who struggle with reading to better study and prepare for their State Board Written Exam. There are also online challenges and key topic videos to improve learning. The online courses also get students familiar with timed tests taken on a computer. While most students are familiar with using cell phones to surf the Internet and access social media, many know little to nothing about working with computers and while they know the test material, they freak out when taking the State Board Exam on a computer and do not do so well.
With our EasyPass State Board Written online courses, your students get:
- Section-by-section study.
- Several full practice exams.
- Courses kept up-to-date with the latest NIC bulletins.
- Real-time updates (something you cannot do with printed books).
- A learning environment to promote familiarity with computer test-taking.
- Online games and challenges to facilitate key areas.
- Instructional Videos for Written Test Taking Tips, Basic Chemistry, Basic Electricity, Infection Control, and Conations Diseases, areas students often struggle with.
- A website online translator to view the courses in English, Spanish, Korean, or Vietnamese. Note: Translator does not translate audio or video.
- 2-year access for each active license.
- Access via phone, laptop, desktop, or any device with Internet access.
There are two school online purchase options:
- Your school can purchase directly from us X number of online licenses at a 50% discount. Students use the code to register their course with us and pay zero out of pocket. The direct cost to the school is for the total for X licenses. For example, 10 licenses would cost the school $325.00. This option is great for those schools that want to tie the cost directly into the student’s tuition.
- (This is the more popular online school option) Your school is granted an unlimited number of online licenses with a discount code that is good for three months for 50% off. You encourage your students to purchase the online course on their own who use the code to get 50% off and then pay the remaining balance of $32.50 themselves. The direct cost to your school is nothing. This is a great option for schools that want to add accountability to their students. Students that pay something extra out of their own pocket tend to be more responsible and committed than those who don’t.
Physical Books
Our physical test preparation books are for those who want something to hold in hand. Physical test preparation books for some students are essential for improving focus, enhancing retention, and avoiding screen fatigue that can occur when study online. They offer a reliable, digital distraction-free environment for better in-depth studying, enabling better note-taking and faster revision compared to digital alternatives. Unfortunately, when using online solutions, some students get easily distracted by social media and other online apps. A physical book is a better fit for them since there are no online distractions to derail their focus and instructors can better guide them.
With our EasyPass State Board physical books, your students get:
- Section-by-section study.
- One or two full practice exams (one for Barber, Cosmetologist, and Esthetician – two for Manicure and Hairstyling).
- Book kept up-to-date with the latest NIC bulletins at time of printing.
- Something to hold in hand.
- Provided with a digital distraction free environment.
Physical books for the State Board must be purchased through our vendor Jazz-Z Beauty and Barber Supply (call 562-698-2900). Physical book prices start at $59.00. Discounts may be available for multiple purchases, call to ask.

Microsoft Office Core Program Bootcamp Courses
Our online Microsoft “BOOTCAMP” courses are highly effective ways to rapidly gain in-demand knowledge of Microsoft core programs in a matter of days or weeks. Our self-paced, intensive courses are designed for efficiency, allowing students to master essential computing tools in a very short time that are crucial for success at both school and work.
Computer knowledge goes far beyond just being able to surf the Internet or use a smartphone to access social media. True computer knowledge requires experience and know-how. Experience and knowledge we have acquired in over 30 years of computer consulting and training. We have taken much of our consulting and training experience and placed it into our Microsoft training courses. Over the decades we have developed a computer training method which consists of a three-prong attack that you will see demonstrated throughout our courses. This method can be summarized as:
1) Describe to the student what a feature does
2) Demonstrate the feature to the student
3) Let the student try it
