Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to use electric file equipment in conjunction with artificial nail applications.It requires the ability to consult with clients, select from a range of bits and use electric file equipment to prepare for or modify an artificial nail application. The electric file nail service can be an individual service or form part of a series of services.This unit applies to nail technicians and beauticians in beauty and nail salons. In this environment they interpret observations and information following known routines in order to safely use electric nail files.
