After completing the four classes, you'll have the opportunity to book your final exam. However, before scheduling the exam, you must complete the online sanitation and hygiene certification offered by our partner PREEMPT. Once you've finished the PREEMPT certification, you will have to complete your theoretical exam. After both are done, you can then fill our exam form to book a date for your exam. This certification process ensures that you're not only skilled in nail techniques but also knowledgeable about maintaining a clean and safe salon environment, a crucial aspect of the beauty industry. (Detailed information regarding the certification process will be provided personally by email after the last class.)
