Prior to attending the course, you will be sent a short pre-course information pack.

This is designed to:

• familiarise you with key terminology

• introduce basic theory and safety concepts

• allow more time on the day for practical learning

The pre-course reading is supportive and straightforward. There is no assessment or testing involved.

Students will work on their own hands and must arrive with natural, product-free nails. Any models attending must also be free from all nail products.

E-File training can be added to this course at the time of booking.

This option is suitable for those who wish to:

• Gain confidence using an electric file

• Improve efficiency and control

• Understand safe and correct E-File use from the start

If selected, E-File training will be integrated into the day in a way that complements the core foundations rather than overwhelming you.

E-file option can be added to your booking at checkout.

One of the benefits of one-to-one training is the opportunity to discuss the practical side of starting out professionally.

As part of this course, time is set aside to cover essential business guidance, helping you feel clearer and more confident about your next steps after training.

This includes:

• Understanding insurance and accreditation

• Setting up as a nail technician

• Treatment pricing and positioning

• Working safely and professionally

• Building confidence as a beginner

• Avoiding common early mistakes

You will also receive supporting resources to guide you beyond the training day.

This guidance is based on decades of industry experience and is designed to give beginners clarity, reassurance, and realistic direction — not pressure or overwhelm.

One-to-One Training

All training is delivered on a one-to-one basis. This means the pace, structure and depth of the day can be adapted to your individual needs.

Private training allows:

• focused support

• personalised guidance

• a calm learning environment

• time to build confidence without pressure

This approach is particularly beneficial for beginners who may feel overwhelmed in group settings.

On successful completion, you will receive fully accredited certification.

Ongoing support is part of your training, and guidance is always available should you need advice as you begin working professionally.
