What to Expect from the NIC-Esthetics Practical Examination
As you prepare to start the examination, remember these key rules:
Always follow infection control procedures and keep your workplace safe – not doing so can result in failure of the exam
When a manufacturer’s label is required on a product it must be written in English – it’s okay to have more than one language on a manufacturer’s label as long as English is one of them; where hand labeled objects are appropriate the label must only be in English
Hand sanitizers are an example of a product where the manufacturer’s label is required, and this must indicate the hand sanitizer is an EPA-registered disinfectant with bacterial, fungicidal, and virucidal properties
Make sure to bring separate containers labeled, “to be disinfected,” “soiled items,” and “trash”
During the exam you cannot use or simulate products that are single-use – treating an item as single use can result in failure of the exam
