Hello, PINKNation!

 

How exciting to learn a new trade!!

 

I am making the assumption that your question is to determine if you can qualify for education credits for college attendance with your 'cosmetology school'.  If that is correct, then maybe.

 

For an educational institution such as your cosmetology school to qualify for you to claim education credits, they MUST participate in a student aid program run by the US Department of Education.  You will need to inquire with the school to find out if they participate in those aid programs.  Additionally, they will need to issue you a Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement at the end of the year.
