Media Center

The International Academy provides a complete state-of-the-art Media Center. The Media Center provides access to the Internet for students and staff. The media center not only enables our students access to the internet and to communicate with their family and friends, it also enables our students to research and obtain all necessary information they need to become successful from training, receiving a complete education, and obtaining career placement throughout the world. All of our academy programs are on-line, and students are able to interact, study, and participate in sample testing in subject matters related to the field of cosmetology.

Employment While You Learn

The International Academy has joined together with prominent local employers to hire students at above average compensation while they attend the hair academy. These employers are also willing to arrange for flexible working hours around school schedules. While these positions are not necessarily in the field of cosmetology, they do allow the student to earn while they attend at the academy. Employment for students is open to all US citizens and eligible non-citizens only

Banking

We encourage all our students to bank with local institutions, especially those close to the school. We recommend Wachovia or SunTrust Bank located within walking distance from the school. Students will receive information on the various banking services available upon arrival. A simple checking account with an optional savings account is recommended. International students will be assisted in every aspect of their banking needs.

Transportation

Public Bus or Taxicab - A taxicab is recommended for the prospective student. A taxicab allows the prospective student to become familiar with the Daytona Beach area without becoming disorientated. However, public transportation is also available.

Rental Car - You must be at least 21 years of age and possess a major credit card in order to rent a car. We can assist the student in making these arrangements for the best possible rates per day or week. Rates vary depending upon the type of car and the time of the year.

Bicycle - Students that live close enough to the school have found that cycling is a very economical, healthy way to get around. A typical, inexpensive mountain bike will cost between $100 and $200.

Automobile - This option is the most popular as a used car offers the student flexibility and convenience. A good used car may cost anywhere from $1000 to $4000. We will gladly recommend a reputable used car dealer.
