Prep for this state
Wyoming sits the NIC theory and practical papers through Prov, and publishes no passing score for either, so our banks are built to the NIC outline rather than to a cut Wyoming has not set. Cosmetology runs 1,600 hours, esthetics 600, barbering 1,000 and manicuring 400.

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.
