This is written-theory study material, not practical-exam training, an esthetics course, state-law supplement, exam registration or license. Confirm that your state uses the NIC theory examination and check its candidate bulletin and scope-of-practice rules. It does not authorize any treatment or replace professional instruction, applicable safety requirements or supervised practice. Purchasing a guide does not guarantee a passing result.
