TO GET STARTED ON YOUR JOURNEY TO SELF-EMPLOYMENT

The duration of your traineeship is 12 weeks.

So, you have enough time to learn your trade and feel confident by the time you finish. We have learned from over 20 years of experience in training that learners need to have enough time to gain the confidence to go out into the workplace and charge for doing a set of nails.

Your first session is an informal meet-and-greet and introductory to the layout of your course. Here you can meet fellow students, have one-on-one time with your tutor, and get help with any queries you might initially have.

Following that, your tutor will demonstrate from the beginner stages of preparing the natural nail, applying tips to producing top-class, natural, durable gel, and sculptured acrylic nail extensions.

Master perfect and quick prep techniques to prevent lifting, apply the nail form to perfectly fit with the natural nail, create competition-style smile lines making your clients nails slim and chic, and create a free edge with white to make unique and perfectly sharp smile line.

Your classes are both fun and practical.
