Taking your exam in Vietnamese?

Tennessee: Vietnamese exam language — Manicurist
The current official PSI catalogue lists Vietnamese theory and practical selections for this license. The linked guide describes native-language written practical instructions; a Vietnamese-speaking proctor is not verified.
- Have the school or education provider submit eligibility to PSI, then follow the approval email.
- Select the correct Tennessee license, exam part and Vietnamese language before paying or scheduling. Read the current guide for each part.
- Interpreter or disability-accommodation requests follow separate PSI instructions and approval. Confirm exam-day communication with PSI; do not infer it from a Vietnamese test label.
CEP study language does not determine the official exam language. Confirm the exact license, exam part, language and appointment with the Board or PSI. A translated guide does not promise a Vietnamese-speaking examiner.
Verify before applying. Licensing rules, fees, providers, and exam formats can change. Use the linked board source as the final authority.
