Tricoci University of Beauty Culture Recognized for Excellence within Beauty Education
Tricoci University of Beauty Culture (TUBC), the nation's premier beauty school, has been selected as a recipient of the Intercoiffure Best World Academy Award 2010.

NORTHBROOK, IL, December 02, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Intercoiffure, an international organization for salon owners committed to practicing their craft and running their business at the most elite level, will present this year's award for "Best World Academy" to Tricoci University on Thursday, November 4th, 2010 in Paris, France. Mario Tricoci will be present to receive the award for TUBC.

TUBC will receive the "Best World Academy" award because the universities stand out amongst its competitors with the variety and quality of programs offered to students, including the International Exchange Program which sent two students to a school in Florence, Italy, and hosted two students from the same school. TUBC was also praised for constant connection to graduates through its networking events and annual Alumni Symposium, along with the ongoing commitment to encourage current TUBC students to give back to the community through the Tricoci University TLC (Teaching, Learning, Caring) program and charitable fundraisers, such as for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Salons against Domestic Abuse, and the Make a Wish Foundation.

This new award comes on the heels of Tricoci University receiving the Repechage's President's Award, which recognized TUBC for its dedication to quality and its many program innovations. These two awards reinforce TUBC's leadership position among beauty educators.

"I am delighted that Tricoci University of Beauty Culture is being recognized for our innovative approach to beauty education," said Brian Weed, CEO of TUBC. "We will continue to lead the way and work hard in fulfilling our mission of developing the top beauty professionals in the industry."

TUBC develops the most "salon-ready" beauty school graduates by teaching the industry's latest techniques, and uses a "foundational" approach that builds on prior learning. Under the supervision of licensed instructors, students perform services on paying guests and draw a steady flow of clients to provide a wide range of real-world experience. Recent TUBC innovations include delivering its curriculum using Netbooks, which allow for a paper-less and more interactive education process. TUBC instructors closely monitor each student's education to ensure they are prepared for the state licensing examinations resulting in Tricoci University graduates attaining pass rates that have averaged 94 percent in the last three years.
