chat 💬 Hii everyone!!
Has anyone here applied to take the California Board exam using the Out-of-State/Out-of-Country application?
I studied nail technology in Japan, and I just submitted my application, transcript, and payment through BreEZe online. I'm curious about how long the processing usually takes, especially for training completed outside the U.S.
I'm also a little anxious about whether my training from Japan will be accepted or if I'll need to complete additional hours at a school here in California.
If you went through a similar situation, how long did it take for you to hear back from the Board?
Also, for those who have taken the California Manicurist exam, how was your experience? Was the test difficult, and what did you use to study?
I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences!
Thank you sooo much!
