All four Delaware beauty licenses in one place. Delaware uses NIC exams via Prometric/IQT; no passing score is published — the Board's rules at 24 DAC 5100 were read in full, 46,983 characters, and state none: “passing” appears once and not as a cut score, and “scaled”, “percent”, “75” and “70” do not appear at all. Biennial renewal October 31 of even-numbered years via DELPROS. CE-free. 30-day temporary permit available.
Prep for this state
Delaware sits the NIC national papers through Prometric and IQT, and publishes no passing score for either component. Its rules at 24 DAC 5100 were read in full — 46,983 characters — and name none, so our banks are built to the NIC outline rather than to a cut Delaware has not set. 1,500 hours come first.

Built for the NIC Candidate Information BulletinEvery question comes with a full rationale. When that isn’t enough — the concept is new, the wording is dense, you got it right by luck — tap Explain and the tutor talks you through it: why your answer was wrong, and what the right idea actually is. Ask it anything back, as many times as you need.
If English isn’t the language you learned this in, it teaches in yours, switched whenever you like. The questions stay in English, because that is how you will see them on exam day. Where enough candidates ask we translate the prep itself — so far Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese, Russian and Simplified Chinese, on the products that have it.
