Ability to Benefit Students NOTICE

The school is no longer able to accept ATB or Ability to Benefit Students. The Ability to Benefit test was administered by an independent third party testing service and documented that a student had sufficient knowledge to enter the programs offered here. The Bucks Co School of Beauty Culture used it as a way of allowing potential students that had completed the General Equivalency Exam (GED) to enter school while waiting for the test results. Due to new Federal Standards it has become impossible for small private post secondary institutions to afford the fees currently associated with ATB testing. Effective 3/16/09 all prospective students must have a High School Diploma or GED PRIOR to entering the first class.
