About this program
Nails Specialty is an in person nail_technology program offered by Manatee Technical College at Manatee Technical College in Bradenton, FL. The reviewed source publishes 180 required hours.
Current MTC program, linked cost-sheet PDF, financial-aid, accreditation, application, inquiry, and tour sources support the exact course identity, 180 hours, schedule, in-person practical training, qualifying-student aid, scholarships, COE accreditation, current action routes, costs, and a cautious Florida licensing pathway. MTC publishes resident and nonresident per-hour rates plus a combined estimated tuition, lab, and fees amount; no residency-neutral tuition total is represented. The directly published $1,798.60 total, $511 combined textbook/required-attire amount, and $75 licensing fee are retained. The page conflicts between a Part-time program description and a Full-Time Day facts label, so attendance and exact weeks remain unknown. Future exact starts are mapped by day/evening route. The retained umbrella/route and organization-key relationships require controlled identity reconciliation.
