Nail Technician (Manicurist) in Georgia

Georgia licenses nail technicians through the Secretary of State's Board of Cosmetology and Barbers, with the exam administered by PSI using National-Interstate Council (NIC) content. You must pass both a written (theory) exam and a practical exam. The NIC theory exam has 110 items (100 scored) and is reported as a scaled score — Georgia does not publish a passing percentage, so we don't quote one. You need 525 school hours (or 20 semester credit hours). Georgia's official PSI bulletins do not state the written exam is offered in any language other than English, so we do not claim a Spanish exam — our multilingual practice questions are a study aid to help you learn the content. Re-examination is through PSI within a 4-year eligibility period.
