네일 테크니션 (미용사) in California

California runs the manicurist exam through PSI for the Board of Barbering & Cosmetology (BBC). The written theory exam is 65 questions (60 scored + 5 pretest) in 90 minutes, scored against a criterion-referenced passing standard. The official CA bulletin confirms the written exam is offered in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese — so a Vietnamese-speaking candidate can sit the real written test in Vietnamese. You need 400 hours of manicurist training to qualify, and California also gives a practical exam. Our practice questions in Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Spanish are a study aid; confirm your language when you schedule with PSI.

State rules and fees change often. This table shows only facts confirmed from an official board or vendor source on the date noted; anything unconfirmed is marked “to confirm.” Always verify current requirements with your state board or its testing vendor before you register. Our practice questions are a study aid and never imply your state offers the exam in a language it does not.
