CedarBridge Students Nail Manicure Skills Test
[Written by Anya Thompson]
The Signature Cosmetology Class at Cedarbridge Academy recently showcased their expertise in the manicure unit by inviting clients to experience a full hands-on service. This initiative allowed the students to demonstrate their skills and knowledge while being graded on various aspects of their performance.
Hands-On Experience for Real-World Application
The students at Cedarbridge Academy’s Signature Cosmetology Class took a significant step in their learning journey by inviting clients to participate in a hands-on manicure session. This unique opportunity provided them with real-world experience and allowed them to apply what they had learned in the classroom. The clients, who were eager to support the students’ learning experience, received professional manicure services while the students demonstrated their expertise.
“When Mrs. Millings announced the need for volunteer clients for the Cosmetology class manicure practical, I was thrilled to help. This was my first manicure, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was great to watch how the students applied their knowledge and skills. Every day is a school day, and I had no idea that calluses could be filed down to keep your hands smooth,” stated Mr. Thornhill, Executive Assistant to the Principal.
Grading Criteria
During the manicure session, the students were evaluated on the following criteria:
- Sanitation: The students were assessed on their adherence to hygiene and cleanliness standards to ensure a safe and sanitary environment for the clients.
- Station Set Up: The organization and layout of the students’ workstations were evaluated to ensure efficiency and professionalism.
- Customer Service: The students’ ability to engage with and cater to the clients’ needs and preferences was a key aspect of their evaluation.
- Manicure Procedure: The technical execution of the manicure, including nail preparation, nail care, and polish application, was closely observed and graded.
Excellence in Performance
The students’ performance during the manicure session demonstrated their dedication to mastering the art of cosmetology. Their commitment to excellence was evident in their meticulous attention to detail, professional conduct, and seamless execution of the manicure procedures. The clients were highly satisfied with the services they received, expressing their appreciation for the students’ skill and professionalism.
Future Opportunities
The successful execution of the manicure unit reflects the high standards of education and practical training provided by Cedarbridge Academy’s Signature Cosmetology Class. This hands-on experience has not only enhanced the students’ confidence and proficiency but has also prepared them for future career opportunities in the cosmetology industry. CedarBridge Academy looks forward to more such initiatives that bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application.

I am happy that we should have Bermudian nail technicians, but what about the efforts to train Bermudians to enter the insurance and financial sectors?
Companies in those two sectors offer scholarships and apprentice programs. But one has to contact the companies and ask. There is a shortage of qualified Bermudians in those sectors. The comments that I hear from my sector contacts are that Bermudians want to come in as managers to start instead of working their way up the ladder. The rest of the feedback is standard.
Take it easy, not everyone is interested in working for IB. Not everyone is cut out for it. We need nail techs, lots of them.
I appreciate that not all Bermudians want to work in IB. My children do not. But that is not my point.
My point is that the Government is touting about the public school system teaching students to be nail technicians and I want to know what the public school system (not private companies or universities or colleges) is doing to train students for work in IB. It is a fair question. I have heard nothing on the issue for years.
Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic skills are as far as the public school system goes. Why do public schools not teach students to become politicians? Those jobs only require a limited skill set and pretty much job security for life.
The general attitude it that learning a highly sought after skill is for the elite.
There are classes via Bermuda college plus opportunities through certain companies to enter the financial sectors at the entry level, however most of the careers do require a certain level of education.
Note however that this story speaks to the Signature Cosmetology course at Cedarbridge so obviously that it what is being exhibited and shown to us. That doesn’t mean other subjects and careers aren’t being explored at CBA and other schools. Why are we so quick to disregard and criticize?
Congratulations, and all the best for success.
