Find schools that offer continuing education near you.

As mentioned on our main nail tech training page continuing education is important for a professional nail tech. Some states even require proof that you are keeping up to date with your education. Use your ZIP to find a school that offers the required courses…

Keeping Up To Date is A Win-Win Proposal

The beauty field, including the nail tech specialty, is constantly evolving. What you learn in cosmetology school can be out of date quickly. Though most professionals will naturally keep abreast of current developments in their field, the government agencies responsible for licensing often formalize this learning process through CE. Consumers of nail care can then be sure that they are getting the latest, safest and best techniques from their manicurist. And as a provider of nail services and manicures you can be confident that your expert status is secure your knowledge is cutting-edge.

Further to this, instructors are required to take twelve hours of training to brush up on their teaching knowledge and skills.

A good example of a state that requires nail techs to show proof of continuing education is South Carolina. For licensed techs they require twelve hours of training every two years. Six of those hours must be done in-class while the other six can be done online. Three hours of education must be in client safety and health.

Twelve hours every two years is not much and won't require a lot of tuition. It is a good chance to reconnect with others in the profession, especially if you are an independent salon owner. Classes are also done at various dates and times of day in order to make updates as convenient and painless as possible.
