 - **Practical Techniques and Theory** – Covering everything from cutting and styling to skin care and nail services, this section ensures you understand the practical skills and theoretical knowledge required for licensure.

#### Perfect for Beauty Schools and Independent Study

Whether you're a **cosmetology instructor** looking to create regular assessments for your students, a **beauty school administrator** wanting to track student progress, or a **student preparing independently** for your licensing exam, this Paperform template gives you a flexible, professional testing environment.
