Our course is only offered by an English Speaking Instructor. We do not offer any other languages. Students MUST be able to read and speak English to take this course.

• SPANISH can purchase a $120 translation textbook to use while taking the course. This book will help those that can read and write in English translate some of the words in the study. We offer the PDF version free upon request. Contact us when paying to be in a different online course if Spanish is your primary home language.
   
• VIETNAMESE can purchase a translation textbook to use while taking the course. This book will help those that can read and write in English translate some of the words in the study. 

Translation textbooks are not included in our course cost. The state offers the licensing exam (taken after completion of our course) in Vietnamese, Korean and Spanish. No other nail licensing exam languages are offered in Virginia at this time. We can use translation materials in class and online.
