네일 테크니션 (미용사) in New York

New York is unusual: the state Department of State (Division of Licensing Services) runs its OWN Nail Specialty exam rather than using a national vendor — and it is one of the most language-accessible exams in the country. The official DOS page confirms the WRITTEN exam is schedulable in 12 translations on top of English: Bengali, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Nepali, Russian, Spanish, Tibetan, Turkish, and Vietnamese — so a Chinese-, Korean-, or Vietnamese-speaking candidate can sit the real written test in their language. You need 250 training hours and must pass both a written and a practical exam; results are reported pass/fail (no numeric score), with 2.5 hours for the written test.

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.
