    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.

  • Models are required to have natural nails on the hands and feet, with no gel, enhancements, or nail polish in place.

    Please ensure jewellery is kept to a minimum, and clothing allows easy access to the arms and lower legs.

    Open-toed footwear or flip-flops are recommended for comfort following the pedicure.

  • 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
