The Manicuring/Nail Technology curriculum provides competency-based knowledge, scientific/artistic principles, and hands-on fundamentals associated with the nail technology industry. The curriculum provides a simulated salon environment that enables students to develop manipulative skills. Coursework includes instruction in all phases of professional nail technology, business/computer principles, product knowledge, and other related topics. Graduates should be prepared to take the North Carolina Cosmetology Board Licensing Exam and upon passing be licensed and qualify for employment in beauty and nail salons, as a platform artist, and in related businesses. The Mountain Tech Spa, an on-campus spa facility, provides practical experience for Manicuring/Nail Technology students under the direction of College Faculty.
The Manicuring and Nail Technology certificate program falls under the limited admissions program criteria. In addition to dual enrollment eligibility requirements, students must also meet limited admissions requirements and meet with a Student Advisor during the limited admissions cycle for Fall or Spring. Please see your CCP College Liaison for more information or contact us at ccp@abtech.edu.
While your tuition is fully covered, please note that books and course-related fees are not included. In addition, CCP students are not eligible for financial aid, so it is important to plan accordingly for these expenses.
