Abstract
This research explores the transformative impact of competency-based learning materials on nail care education, focusing on their integration and benefits for NCII Certification in the Philippines. Employing an integrative literature review methodology, the study synthesizes existing knowledge to offer comprehensive insights into the evolving landscape of beauty care education. The findings underscore that competency-based approaches significantly enhance skill acquisition in nail care education. Through hands-on demonstrations, interactive modules, and simulated scenarios, learners are better equipped with practical skills essential for industry demands. Moreover, a strong correlation emerges between the use of competency-based materials and the alignment of nail care education with industry standards and NCII Certification requirements. This ensures that curricula are dynamic, responsive, and tailored to meet evolving industry demands. The study also reveals the positive impact of competency-based learning materials on student engagement and motivation. Incorporating interactive and learner-centric elements fosters a more engaging educational experience, with gamified features and real-world case studies capturing students' interest. However, challenges in implementation, including limited resources and adapting traditional curricula, pose significant obstacles. Ultimately, this research offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and industry stakeholders navigating the complexities of integrating competency-based strategies in nail care education.
