Your study arc, week by week

SGS isn't a two-week cram kit. It's the study companion that rides shotgun through all 600 program hours.

Weeks 1 – 5

Foundations

Your first 5 weeks cover anatomy, chemistry, infection control, and esthetics basics. Use SGS flashcards and Knowledge Chair chapter by chapter to make the vocabulary stick while it's fresh.

Weeks 6 – 10

Hands-On + Theory

You're in practicals now. Pair every kit check with a quick SGS Shear Squares round on that chapter — the repetition glues clinical skills to the theory behind them.

Weeks 11 – 14

Mid-Program Check

Take a Esthetics practice test for Nebraska every week. Your score trend tells you which chapters to loop through TheBoard before you forget material you learned in month 2.
