CosmetologyCampus.com is proud to announce a partnership with Cosmetology Educators of Texas

Austin, TX – Cosmetology Campus is proud to announce a partnership with Cosmetology Educators of Texas today. “We have been looking to partner with CEDTX for some time, said April Thomas CosmetologyCampus Manager, “the reseller partnership will help Deborah and her team expand their business to service those individuals who chose to complete continuing education online.”

CEDTX is one of many strategic partners that have merged their classroom training with an online offering. CosmetologyCampus offers a complete reseller package that enables partners to offer state approved online continuing education through their own private labeled virtual university.

"Cosmetology Educators, Inc. is fortunate to be one of Texas' largest providers of classroom cosmetology continuing education courses over the past several years. Now, after extensive planning and work we are able to expand nationally and offer equally dynamic courses online for our customer's convenience by tapping into the expertise and technology offered to us by 360training. While we believe that the classroom setting is the best learning environment because our clients can engage in open discussions and exchange ideas, sometimes their schedule just doesn't cooperate. Our new online classroom (www.cedtx.com) is the answer" said Deborah Cooper, owner of CEDTX.
