organized KITS
How Schools Can Help Students
• PRACTICE with your students so they are comfortable with the exam & its timing
• Use the SCRIPTS that are available online when you practice with your students
How Schools Can Help Students
• Explain that evaluators are professionals who have been through testing themselves
• Evaluators understand candidates may be nervous want to see candidates SUCCEED
How Schools Can Help Students
• Explain that maintaining SAFETY & SANITATION are more important than “stylish” & “perfect” results.
• Licensing is NOT based on an individual school’s curriculum.
Security Reminder• Exam security is critical
to the integrity of the exam process
• Violations of exam security can have legal & financial consequences
• Discussing exam content is inappropriate
Security Reminder• Each candidate is required
to sign a Confidentiality Agreement that prohibits discussion of exam content or the re-creation of exam content
• If a student has a question about specific exam content, refer them to NTN Candidate Support
Practical Exams
Candidates must perform each task:• taking appropriate safety &
sanitation precautions (draping, client protection, etc.).
• without cross contamination of bacteria through products (sanitary removal from containers, etc.).
Practical Exams
Candidates must perform each task:• maintaining consumer & personal
sanitation (hand sanitation, sanitary linens, etc.).
• using tools, implements & products safely (curling iron, shears, chemical exposure, etc.).
Practical Exams• Exam is for entry-level
practitioners• Priority is on safe & sanitary
performance of tasks• Breaks in sanitation must be
remedied:– Hand sanitation– Sanitary product application &
storage– Disinfect work surfaces– Maintain kit sanitation
What if an item drops on the floor?
It must be remedied -- candidates should:1. Pick up the item (raise hand for
permission to leave work area)2. Discard or disinfect the item3. Sanitize their hands before
continuing with the exam
During Practical Exams
• Evaluators will not assist candidates
• Evaluators may not answer candidate questions regarding exam content
• No talking among candidates
• No unauthorized materials
• No disruptive behavior
Timing of Services
• Time allowed is stated in Exam Prep Guides & candidates should have enough time to complete the service
• If candidates realize they have not completed a step satisfactorily (ex: the sculptured nail is not dry & they file it off) & if there is time remaining, they can redo it in the remaining time
Exam Kits• Candidates are responsible for bringing a
complete kit – the list is included in each Exam Prep Guide
• Clamp, tools & implements must be in working order
• All products must be clearly labeled in English & visible to evaluators
• Implements, tools, linens & paper products must be visibly clean & sanitary
• When not in use, kits must remain closed
Product Requirements• Mock product containers
represent one item & it is only used once

Waste Receptacle Requirements
• Minimum of one waste disposal receptacle
• Plastic lined & free standing• Labeled “Waste”• Taped bags may not be used
• TIP: Bring more than one waste receptacle. Overflowing waste is a break in sanitation.
Work Station Space• Candidates each have the same size
work space marked off by black lines• Must keep within that space during
the exam, including kit & waste receptacles
• FYI: Mannequin tripods may be used, but they take up a lot of space and may cause challenges for candidates that table mannequin clamps do not cause
Work Station Space
Blood Spill Kit• Two Blood Spill kits are required (or
one kit with sufficient supplies for multiple blood spills):1. One for Blood Spill demonstration2. Second is in case there is actual
blood spill during exam (must stay on station)
• Blood Spill procedure is defined by Kansas Rules & Regulations & federal universal precautions

bandage3. Clean & disinfect all equipment, tools, &
implements that have come in contact with blood
4. Clean workstation with disinfectant5. All contaminated items, including gloves
(which should be removed last), must be placed in a double bag marked “Biohazard”
6. Seal the double bags and place in the waste receptacle
Blood Spill: Helpful Reminders
• The order in our exam is slightly different than state regulations—teach based on our procedure
• Biohazard bags must be clearly labeled, written or stickered
• Do not dispose of biohazard bag until it contains all contaminated items
Blood Spill: Helpful Reminders
• Candidates can remove bandage during set-up for next service
