Nevada requires a profession-specific theory examination for first-time applicants in the paths identified by the board and a Nevada state-law examination for every first Nevada license. Both are offered at Pearson VUE locations.
Nevada-school graduates complete the practical requirement at their school. Other approved first-license candidates test at the board. Nevada grades the practical as Pass rather than with a numeric percentage.
Practical procedure preview
Applicants testing with the board must bring a model or mannequin and all required equipment, unless arranging a rental kit directly with a kit company.
