You don't need any qualifications or experience in nails to do this course
 
This course is designed for complete beginners who want to learn basic acrylic and some of the more widely used design techniques such as ombre, marble, 3D, Reverse French, etc.
 
 
You can use any brand of products you choose but we do recommend you use products designed for professional use rather than DIY home kits
 
 
This course is made up of 4 Modules.  All theory will need to be completed online before attending your 2 day, 1-2-1 practical.  There is an e-book for each Module and demonstration videos to give you all the information you will need to complete each unit of your online theory (view sample question).  Your tutor will be available via telephone between the hours of 8am and 5pm Monday to Friday or email, to help with any questions you may have.  Your online theory will be assessed before your 1-2-1 practicals and you will be given access to all of the assessment and feedback information.
 
                        
Dates for 1-2-1 day courses are every day of the week including Sundays and start at 10am (this time can be changed if necessary).  The course is designed to run for 2 days which would be 4-5 hours each day which includes a 30 minute refreshment break and a 30 minute buffer to allow extra time if needed.  As this is a 2 day course, if you would prefer to cover everything in a day, the start and finish times can be adjusted.
