Finishing your program is only half the battle. You still need to pass the state board written exam (and in most states, the practical exam too). Here is what to expect based on where you attend.
NIC/PSI (California uses NIC, Texas uses PSI). The written exam is multiple choice and computer-based. Most states require 70-75% to pass.
The exam covers Scientific Concepts (infection control, chemistry, anatomy), Hair Care and Services, Skin Care, and Nail Care. Study emphasis should match the domain weighting for your specific state.
ACCSC (Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges)
ACCSC accreditation means the school meets national standards for institutional quality. It also means graduates are eligible to sit for their state board exam in all states where the school operates.
