Nail Technician Training That Helps You Prepare to Become Licensed

As you pursue your new career, you will want to select a nail technician training program that helps you prepare to become licensed.  That’s the goal of our training program here at Dorsey School of Beauty.

It’s important to keep in mind that states require manicurists and nail technicians to become licensed in order to pursue gainful employment in this field.  That means you will want to select a state-approved training program.  It will also be helpful if your nail technician training helps prepare you for the state board exam.  In addition, you will want to ensure you meet all of the other requirements set forth by your state.

Dorsey School of Beauty has determined that its Manicuring program curriculum is sufficient to fulfill educational requirements for licensure in the State of Michigan only. No educational determinations have been made for any other state, district or US territory in regards to licensure requirements.

As licensure is required for employment by the State of Michigan, Dorsey School of Beauty will pay the cost one time for graduates of this program to challenge the state licensure exam, contingent upon the graduate meeting Dorsey School of Beauty’s exam preparation requirements.
