State Board Esthetician Practical Exam: A Step Toward Your Professional Freedom

By Eric Davis


Before your dream of soaking people in mud baths, waxing their eyebrows and more. You must first complete your state board esthetician practical exam. This is where you are tested and then licensed. Different states have different ideas about this. But the one thing that is common, is that you must be licensed.

So what is the job description? Many people are not familiar with the word Esthetician. In anything, they are used to other titles such as beautician. They are trained to care for the skin as well as to perform tasks such as body waxing. You can find them at Spas and any other place where they help people with their skin issues.

In order for you to take this test, you must be at a certain age, 16 years or older. You should also have your Diploma from High School or a GED. This is a career from after you are done with High School. Another big factor is that you must have gotten at least 300 hours of experience. Once the department responsible for this part is notified then they let you write your tests.

300 hours of work in the specific profession must be acquired before can say you are a beautician. Only after you turn 16 can one apply for the exam and even then you need a high school diploma. This will help with general comprehension of tasks and the chance to further yourself. There are different ways to be tested on this subject.

There is the option of the temporary license. This is when one side is complete but the test for the other still needs to be taken. For instance, once you have been tested for a practical experience you can receive the license that is temporary. But this is issued once you qualify for the written exams. It is valid for 21 days and you must still sit down for your written exam.

In order to ace your practical test, you can purchase a kit online to better help you with your preparations. It is roughly R130.00. Upon ordering its best to look through the website and indicate what you would like in your box. You should expect to pay for your own shipping as the amount presented is just for the kit. Just search online and find a good company to order from.

If you prepare well, you will test well. If this is your dream, you will purchase all the necessary materials you need to pass both examinations. If you search online you might also come across previous question papers to help you. This means you are very close to making your dream a reality, don t quite see it through to the end.

Remember to put money aside to take both tests. You are going to need it and you are also going to need money to get a temporary license as well. It is thankfully not too expensive but it needs to be fully paid. Shortly, you will be free to work at a spa or salon of your choice as you always dreamed.
