considered from 0-150 hours and Senior status is considered from 151-300 hours.

Nails Course Format:

The course will be a combination of lecture, demonstration, and student participation and practice. Student practice
will include experiences both on artificial fingers, models, and clinic clients. Audio visual aids and guest artist
presentations will be incorporated into the program. Students will be provided the opportunity to participate in field
trips, nail competitions, and other extracurricular activities offered by the school.

as they are completed. Senior students will be required to complete a minimum number of practical assignments
including services performed on clients in the Clinic. Written and practical tests will be weighted equally. A
minimum score of seventy (70%) will be required as a passing score on all tests and examinations.

absent from class are required to notify their educator as would be expected by an employer. See the requirements
