As a former instructor in a school I can tell you that the reason you are not taught UV Gels is because the State Board expectations are antiquated, and they are for entry level skills only. The curriculum and practical exams were put in place long before UV Gel became popular in the industry. Here in New York, the state mandates 250 hours of education. They mandate the amount of hours you must spend on each part of the curriculum. In that 250 hours you must get through all of the book work, and the hands on practice, and teach state board practical exam procedures. There is little precious time to actually teach aspiring Nail Technicians how to do UV Gels, use an Electric File (which is also not part of the states requirement) and also explain the difference between State board and Salon Nails. That is why I always encouraged the students to join this group, and beautytech.com, and go to trade shows and take additional classes. It is a must for anyone in the Industry, including those of us who have been licensed forever to do this as well.
