A Competency-Based Program for Success
The Nail Technology program is a competency-based learning plan designed to prepare students to work in the Nail Technology industry. Practical education is completed within the classroom (where students learn by exchanging services on each other) and on the clinic floor (where students provide services to guests). In order to complete the competency requirements for their program, students must complete a set number of services, written examinations and practical examinations. If all theory and practical requirements are met at the end of the core program, the student may choose to graduate immediately, or choose to continue their education and training on the clinic floor (up to 600 hours/contract end date). Cosmetology coursework is modeled after the Milady’s Standard Nail Technology Fundamentals 7th Edition textbook.
