What score is required for a board to issue a license?

To obtain a license from the board, a candidate is required to achieve a score of 75% or higher on the examination. This threshold is established to ensure that individuals have a comprehensive understanding of esthetics and related subjects necessary for safe and effective practice. Scoring 75% demonstrates proficiency in the key areas of knowledge and skills that are essential for providing services while adhering to safety and health standards. Lower scores would indicate a lack of mastery in these critical areas, potentially putting clients at risk if licensed without meeting this minimum requirement. Therefore, achieving a score of 75% not only reflects competence but also ensures that practitioners are well-equipped to serve the public effectively.
